What made Manny Pacquiao change his mind?

I guess 14 days out doesn't weaken him anymore...ALL IN A MATTER OF MONTHS!

wanting the fight bad, before manny and everyone thought he would have around 3 more fights in his career so he had time on his side. now he wants to retire but he want the mayweather fight bad to cement his legacy, thus him agreeing to mayweathers 14 day previous demands

I think its just Roach and Pacquiao realising that Mayweather is the cash cow and that all roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. Win or lose they will make alot of money and with Roach's condition detoriating every day and Pacquiao giving away 40% of each payday he gets to Bob Arum. They want all the money they can get before they retire and the best way to do it is to fight Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao made peanuts fighting Joshua Clottey. Let's just hope it finally happens now...

I hope Pacquiao doesnt come up with anymore excuses to kill the fight.

Just take the tests and give the fans what they want to see!

Honestly...

Scumbag Bob Arum stole everyone's thunder with the recent moves he made. Clever move for his business, bad for Floyd's, Manny's and boxing in general.

Pac knew that even he is not 100% physically and mentally ready he knew that he could still beat floyd, that's why he's confident of accepting the 14 days cutoff.
90% pacquiao > 100% mayweather.

What is your theory on why he is now gonna take the tests?

erm....he wants to give the boxing fans the fight they all want to see, he is tired of being wrongly accused of taking steroids and he wants to clear his reputation..

If you OR Manny believe that nonsense you just posted above, we would have seen the fight in March. But you HATED the idea of the extra testing. You cried about how it would weaken Manny, blah, blah, blah.

And exactly, WHAT 14 day offer did he accept? That has been off the table since February. Catch up.

I never heard any Pac or even boxing fans in general (in my place) who don't want the fight to happen. Floyd asked, Pac obliged, just make the fight.

If Floyd's camp is mum on the issue, and if the Floyd fans are saying it's too late, then we have no fight!

Just sayin' these are good times ahead to make the fight happen!

But very clever counter by Team Pacquiao, very very clever...

the 14 day cut off already expired. Floyd is going back to retirement.
