It's pretty simple. It's negotiating tactics. It's the same reason that Mayweather asked Manny Pacquiao to take extra tests.
Sure, Mayweather has never missed a 147 pound weigh in. But.. Manny has never failed a drug test, either.
Sure, You could make a claim that Manny LOOKS like he COULD be on some type of substance. But, with Mayweather failing to make weight, you could JUST AS EASILY make a case for Mayweather finding advantages with not trying as hard to make the proper weight.
They both know that both are likely clean and both are going to make weight. They are simply using this as a way to get under the skin of the other. Dumb, but that's business.
