    Why didn't Pacquiao agree to extra testing?

    JMM said he was willing to take any drug tests they wanted him to, as long as Pac took them too.

    Why didn't Manny take him up on that offer?

    Because nowhere in his or Roaches wildest dreams did they think JMM could knock him out like that.

      Because giving blood so close to the fight weakens him.

        Because doing so will validate Roach earlier statement that he thought marquez was on PED's and hence might get his ass sued.

        Because Pacquaio was roided out his mind and couldn't be tested cause he will fail.

        Because Pacquaio scared of needles.

        Because Giving blood weakens him, and they were already so close to fight night.

        Because doing so will validate Mayweather claims that they need better testing and this will be a win for mayweather in this lil war they have.

        Because They just didnt see the point, the fight was already on and will not be called off.

        Take your pick

          It seems to me that by just agreeing to stricter tests all of this su****ion of Marquez could have been avoided.

            according to roach, which you can take for what it's worth, bob arum was the one that shot it down. From what it seems Arum is totally against VADA/WADA/etc.

                Meh, I don't trust testing either. Look at Lance and all the other athletes that test clean only to be later busted. Then you have a certain trainer on record saying he can easily avoid detection 20 different ways. Its a joke and they know it, they probably just didn't care that much either way.

                  Why should he? Either both guys test or neither of them do. Fair is fair.

                    So what you are saying is that even if JMM had passed stricter drug tests you STILL would have suspected him.

                    In other words there's nothing he could do to prove to you that he's clean.
