But like I've said in the past, the commission regulations excuse is pretty lame when talking mega events, especially when it concerns Manny Pacquaio. Come on bro, do we have to go through this? Look at his last couple fights. He fought for Cotto's welterweight belt at a 145 catchweight. I don't think the commission dictated that stipulation. He got a lion's share of the purse with Hatton and Cotto while fighting as the challenger. Every sanctioning body in the world stipulates that the champion gets 75% of the purse. And the de la Hoya fight was fought at a catchweight that de la Hoya hadn't made in nearly a decade. I don't think the NSAC dictated that stipulation. So Pac and his team should be the last ones crying commission when talking special, non-commission required contract stipulations.
Actually, from reading your posts, it seems like you have more issue with the Mayweathers asking for the tests than the actual tests themselves. I could be wrong, and I apologize if I am. But I'm just curious. If the roles were reversed and Arum, Roach, and Pacquaio were asking Mayweather to submit to the USADA testing, would you take as much issue with it? Because obviously Arum, not necessarily Roach and Pac, articulates himself much better than any of the Mayweathers. And it seems as if articulation and educational background is playing a lot into your opinion.
