Its a very smart move from Floyd to demand this. On one end PBF knows that Pac has no business playing by his rules and being forced to prove his innocence, but on the other end he knows that its not politically correct to argue against better drug testing. He's taken a very smart position and has played his cards right in a way to be able to taint Pacquiao's legacy through PR rather than by fighting him in the ring.
On one hand if Pac agrees to Floyd's demands for testing after being accused of being a cheat, he already loses a part of the mental game. He also knows that if he loses his whole past will be brought into question regarding PEDs wether he has cheated in the past or not. On the flip side, if Pac refuses Floyd can easily make it look like Pac is a cheat and undeserving of all the accolades that he received above PBF.
Pac may be the one running for congress, but Floyd is the better politician.
Your analogy is pretty accurate.
I mean technically the police can stop anyone su****ious of being an illegal immigrant wether he looks white, black, or latino. But we all know that they will be harassing latino's the most. Pac probably felt that the USADA being brought in by Floyd's camp, even though officially testing both fighters without bias, would bother him alot more. After all you don't bite the hand that feeds you and Flyod is the one who is pushing for the USADA to do testing in boxing, which has brought them alot of publicity and also would bring them alot of money.
