I don't see the problem. OST is unofficial. Not taking the tests cannot hold up the fight unless one fighter needs to get his own way. This fight can be made without OST, and it is now arguable if OST is even that much superior a testing procedure given the facts outlined by experts in recent articles.
I don't need to hear the arguements against drug testing again to know that athletes that fight drug testing need to get drug tested first and foremost.
It suck for Manny that he put himself in such a poor group, he certainly didn't need to go this route~Comment

This is an utterly false parallel. How does you getting a surgery which you may need in any way compare with Pacquiao taking a blood test as a caveat of a negotiation for a boxing match? It doesn't in any way, I'll answer the question.
I know that the morons who troll this forum will automatically label me as both a ******* and a Floyd "hater." I don't give a **** about people that are so ignorant as to see the world in back and white. I do not oppose drug tests per se, but this whole ordeal is merely a bunch of nonsense. The drug test issue is being used, not only as a negotiating ploy, but also as a means to spread vitriol about the considerable accomplishments of Pacquiao. Floyd is the one with question marks as to whether he truly wants to fight. Frankly speaking, I think there is a fairly good chance that Floyd is truly ducking.
As for this article, it is about one aspect of the situation. The main point had to do with the risk of hematomas. It's funny how everyone subjectively ignores this point, and merely ridicules the (misplaced) discussion about hepatitis and AIDS (with nothing here occurring but such discussion being blatantly taken out of context). No one is making an argument that Pacquiao risks contracting hepatitis if he goes through with the tests. This is utterly absurd, and while this information did not belong in the article, the biased morons who support a fighter (any fighter) in every and all situations, regardless of whatever circumstances, will merely cling to any garbage they can conceive of.
The point is about hematomas and infections which could potentially arise from punctured skin. Even so, this is a small component of the overall issue.
On a side note, Floyd Mayweather is a coward. His last real fight was against JCC. Every single fight since, bar none, has been on his terms. There has been not one fight in which Floyd did not control the conditions of the event and essentially handpick the opponent. This is mere fact. The closes thing to an exception to this would be the ODLH fight, in which case the allure of money and potential stardom was enough to entice Floyd to take the fight, not entirely on his own terms. Even so, the fight was not so much a sporting event as it was a sideshow.
If Floyd-Pacquiao were to happen right now, I truly believe Floyd would be knocked out. I don't exactly think the fight is going to happen. Fraud Gayweather would rather carry on fighting hand picked opponents than take on a true challenge.
Taking the tests is not above an beyond what they would be doing normally, there are huge risk of infection of staph in any gym enviroment or do you want to say fights should not go to the gym and train?
Do you know what they call when you don't really want to take a risk even if it really doesn't add all that much danger to a situation an excuse.
On a side note you wrote 5 paragraphs and said jack **** try again. Make some more excuse~Comment

Quite simply you can find experts to support what postion you want, I remember all of this from Baseball.
I don't need to hear the arguements against drug testing again to know that athletes that fight drug testing need to get drug tested first and foremost.
It suck for Manny that he put himself in such a poor group, he certainly didn't need to go this route~
Manny probably should have handled this differently, but I still believe he just didn't want to give Floyd his own way, and even now doesn't want to completely give in just because Floyd says so. Jmo.Comment
