Majority of public voting Mayweather is to blame?

uh? as much negative talk on the boards and in the media about Pacquiao being the one holding up the fight, it looks like the polls don't agree and blame Mayweather.

Poll: Who do you blame for the impasse between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.? | The Fabulous Forum | Los Angeles Times

LA has a huge Flip and Oriental population. So what does that tell you?
Plus there are only 2500 votes total. A very small population sample.

I think the impasse is Pacquiao refusing to take a random blood test.

I have no clue but I don't think local apply on an internet poll. 2500 is a lot more vote than we see on this forum. Who knows you could be right if the whole voting public chimes in but I doubt it.

As of the 2000 Census, the racial distribution in Los Angeles was 46.9% White American, 11.2% African American, 10.0% Asian American, 0.8% Native American, 0.2% Pacific Islander, 25.7% from other races, and 5.2% from two or more races. 46.5% of the population was Hispanic or Latino (of any race).

It's an internet poll. One Pactard sees it, links it in the Pac forums and they all vote en masse from all over the world. It's amazing they only got 2500 votes.

It's roughly the same number of people who signed the petition to get Mayweather booted from AT and T adverts.

Most people that vote on these polls are probably Boxer fans. To be honest, the general public hates Mayweather and whether he is right or wrong really doesnt matter because most people will always find a way to blame him. I'm sure most of us can agree that if the roles were reversed the general public would still blame Mayweather. That's the price of playing the bad guy role i guess.

Actually the general public is looking at Pacquiao, not Mayweather, in an unfavorable light.

The biggest sports media outlets (espn for example) have discussed the fight & have all but pointed a finger at Pacquiao & said "He takes drugs". Friends who don't closely follow the sport but purchase the bigger PPVs are saying Pacquiao has so mething to hide because the media outlets are making it out to be true.

Even today on ESPN, while talking about the mediation, the host said something along the lines of "...The bout has been stalled because of Pacquiao's refusal of the olympic style blood tests Mayweather was requesting."
