you want a time line?
Floyd asked for Olympic style random blood testing since day 1
Freddie Roach and a bunch of Top Rank notables came out saying "we'll take whatever tests he wants" in multiple different articles and videos
2 weeks later they retract and instead ask for a 30 day cut off period in blood testing which of course Mayweather refused
after a mediation process that took place Mayweather was lenient and budged from his sole demand of Olympic style random blood testing with a ZERO cut off date to a 14 day cut off
Pacquiao still refused the 14 day cut off and instead asked for 24 days which caused that fight to fall apart
Manny fought Joshua Clottey and Floyd fought Shane Mosley, here's the thing though prior to the Mosley bout Floyd clearly stated that if the fight with Mosley goes fourth that he would want more money and he would demand ZERO cut off date with no exceptions this time as opposed to the 1st negotiations when he WAS willing to talk about a cut off
Floyd beat Shane and just like a couple weeks prior to the fight Floyd said he would want to take a break after the Mosley bout, he even said it in his post fight press conference that he wants to take "a nice long vacation" and "spend more time with his kids"
the demand for this fight increased by the day and people wanted the fight, articles was made and words were traded, there was even fake negotiations of a fight going on but after a while it was reported that "Manny Pacquiao Agrees To Random Blood Testing", that's what the head line says but the truth is it was only to 14 days he agreed, it's not even a hidden fact you can look it up yourself
to this day he asks for a 14 day cut off but guess what? that's not available to him anymore, Floyd is not willing to accept that and he wasn't even willing to accept it the first time around it's just that first time he really wanted to make the fight so he budged, now he wont be so willing..
honestly though Floyd got other problems, his main concern is not Boxing at this moment and being that I don't know the story I wont pretend to act like I do, verbally you can say whatever you want because they are just words but physically? that's a line I don't cross but I can't lie there's been times I been pushed to the point where I thought I was going to knock a b1tch upside her head, I didn't but the anger I felt made me realize and see how some might not be able to control it, it took immense self control that honestly I don't think everyone has, this is not to defend him I'm only talking about personal experience here but honestly it's not my place to comment on that because I don't know what was said, and how it REALLY went down
