pac has came in over weight for a fight too and shane never tested positiveIt'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.Comment

actaully, you are wrong. FLoyd requested OST from the jump. then team pac came with the 10 mil per lbComment

u can say manny is 1 dimensiona (which i dont beleive) but the one thing u cant deny is thet manny probably has the best footwork in the game, just listen to what a lot of his opponents have to say about himidiotic question. it falls on the same easy work, easy mantra. pac fought nothing but weight-drained fighters. he's one dimensional, no footwork, no defensive skills (another idiotic assumption considering most of his wins were mostly because of it), he's one dimensional. then a complete turn around and say pac is too good to be true. he should take a test first.
man, how many times do we have to repeat this?Comment

its a ****** demand, i dont defend it and you never heard it come out of floyds mouth. just like yall claimed floyd was going to fight paulie, matt hatton and now spaddy based on rumors.
if it did come out of floyds mouth, theres nothing to believe and it should be taken with a grain of salt...easy workComment

so manny is the one who has been holding up the fight from jump like we've always said. and sure, manny would have accepted, NOT. they want no parts of floydBecause Floyd accused manny of cheating first, then demanded tests, had it been the other way around, I bet we'd be closer to seeing this fight.
Slander isn't going to get you what you want, unless, making negotiations fall through was the goal with libel.
Any man who has pride in his work and integrity wouldn't give in to demands based off of no facts, it's a poor mans extortion, school yard mind games . I myself would never give another that kind of power and leverage over me unless it was beaten into me or my family was in danger.Comment

Mayweather can ask for the same fine and I'm sure Pacquiao expects it.
Mayweather hasn't failed a test, either. What's your point? Not failing doesn't mean you're su****ious. It means that some fighters "cheat" and some don't. Means nothing here as the charges are STRICTLY hearsay.Comment

they are both in the wrong....
Plain and simple. They are robbing the fans. Guess neither care. Im a floyd fan but if manny doesnt want to take the test he doesnt have to unless the boxing commissions overhaul their rules.
Hopefully a compromise can be reached before 1 loses or gets to old.Comment

floyd doesnt care to ask for the same. he wants OST, point blank period. floyd is willing to take the test, manny isnt. manny is doing something no one has before and there have been rumors for years. you can even liten back to sports commentors on manny performance on how they felt he was at the end of his prime then the very next fight, they said he looked like a new young lad thats been rejuvenated then he goes on to do what hes done, thats su****iousMayweather can ask for the same fine and I'm sure Pacquiao expects it.
