Huh? Pacquiao is not refusing. Pacquiao is willing to give urine 24/7 and willing to give his blood after the fight not before the fight. Giving blood is like having SEX. Boxers don't take sex in their training. It makes you weak.
He is trying to manipulate when the blood tests are taken. There is no good reason why the testing cannot be random. In this respect he is refusing to comply with what IMO is a sound and reasoned proposal by the Mayweather team. I don't really equate giving blood with the act of copulation, but maybe that's just me. It has been argued already that the inconvenience of giving a little bit of blood a few times during camp, is really going to have very little effect upon Manny's training regime. It's a weak excuse.
Regardless of what fighter wants in the scheduling details for testing, what is it that would not show up in testing after the fight that random test could show? (nothing that wouldn't show up randomly) There is no point to random testing other than to disrupt a routine. In any application it's purpose and intent is to disrupt and not to catch.
