To be fair, Floyd compromised on a 24 day cut off. 14 days isn't too close to a fight, but then I'm not Manny Pacquiao.To be fair, one time, even during training, isn't the same as having random, multiple tests being done. If he feels off after giving blood, why can't you see him objecting to having it done too close to the fight, at least? The other possible issue is the matter of principal. He kinda shouldn't be forced to bow down to Floyd's will(great as it may be, mind you). I think I read that if the commission required it, they'd abide by their ruling.
I also don't think agreeing to the tests is bowing down to Floyds will, and I don't think it's fair for Manny Pacquiao to hide behind the commission. Especially as he has made his own demands that have been agreed to with no questions asked. That is not considered bowing down to Pacquiao's will. I think what Floyd is asking is fair, especially as it seems to be his only question. Although that may have changed now.Comment

why starting a drug test with pac? if you believe boxing is not clean anymore,from the first time you start as a pro you should demand that before not when negotiations between pac is ongoing....
why demand for weight penalty? its an assurance that floyd won't get overweight(like he did against marquez)
why demand for dr...ug test? does pacquiao tested for peds before?Comment

So what were the outlandish demands from the Manny camp towards Floyd, anyways?Comment

Outlandish? I never said anything was outlandish. I don't think what Floyd asked was outlandish, nor do I think what Pacquiao asked was outlandish. Pacquiao seems to have made more demands than Floyd. Floyd agreed to them. I just can't see the huge issue with blood tests.Comment
