It really can't get any more clear cut when you consider how much money was at stake.
Let us clarify that statement. Manny was opposed to random blood testing less than 24 days before the fight. He is agreeable to unlimited random urine drug test. They both walked away from the fight because they did not agree on the terms with regards to when the blood testing will last be done prior to the fight. If let's say Manny do intend to use PEDs for 2 1/2 weeks prior to the fight, does Mayweather think that will be enough of an advantage for Manny. Doesn't he get an advantage himself by his use of xylocaine? Floyd has always insisted that he is the best & the P4P king so he just call in Manny's bluff & beat the shit out of him. Both of them are at fault for the fight not happening.
That, my friend, is irrelevant.
How many lines of text does it take to explain our way around 1 simple principle?
Its not about how much advantage one could obtain. It's all very simple.
Ready?
Why would anyone not want to take a drug test at -any time-?
How can a test be too close to fight night? How? why? What logical explanation could there be? That's the point. Addressing anything else is simply a distraction from something that is actually very simple in principle.
Have you heard that some people do not want to be dictated upon. I have gone through numerous different forums before I decided to settle on this one. And you have to read the Pacquiao website to understand where he is coming from (I also didn't know why Manny did not want to give in to Floyd's demand with regards to the drug test until I read some of the postings in that forum). When Floyd initially came up with the demand there seems to be an uproar in that forum (I assume that most of the posters are Philippinos) not to give in to the demand. I pressume that this would be the sentiment of their entire country. So for Manny to give in to Floyd's terms would be tantamount to subverting himself in the eyes of his countrymen. This may not be the reason but does it look like a possible logical reason as to why Manny would not agree to Floyd's term? Manny initially wanted the last prefight drug test to be done 30 days before the fight but he did give in & moved it to 24 days before the fight. Manny probably really hates blood test but if it were the Nevada Boxing Commission demanding it, I don't believe he will object. What I consider Team Pacquiao to be guilty of is for being stupid with coming up with different lame excuses. Other than that, there is still no hard evidence that Pacquiao used PEDs. And whatever happened to the supposed to be smoking gun that would implicate Manny, those alleged emails that was exposed by Teddy Atlas? Can anyone tell me where they are or would you be brave enough to admit that they don't exist. And thanks for calling me friend. This healthy debate will not in any way affect our friendship.
