Make no mistake about it, this is THE defining fight of our generation it's the best offense against the best defense. Two fighters in their prime p4p #1 against the former p4p #1.

There is good cause to take extra steps to make sure the playing field is level. I know it's cool and common to hate on Mayweather, but he is not being unreasonable on this point.
I'll side with Manny over this one. Manny has already agreed for the drug testing before the initial press conference and after the fight. If there are drugs in his system it would not magically disappear after the fight date itself.

Manny does have a phobia of needles. Any one of us here that does have a phobia would not be happy if you are force to do something that you don't want to do. The olympic style testing will subject you to a random blood test of 3-5 times and 11 urine test. So if you have a phobia with needles you would always be worried when would the next blood test will occur and it would affect you mentally as you prepare for the fight.

Again, Manny agreed on 2 blood test. Before the initial press conference and after the fight itself. Isn't this good enough? Surely if there are drugs in his system it would be found by the blood sample he will submit after the fight.
What's the difference in time then? As for others phobias of needles surely they would overcome that for 40 million dollars.
The difference in time is the 3 remaining blood test. Its between training camp and fight night itself. Phobias can be overcome surely for 40 million. But the point is there is nothing that they are going to find 24 hours before the fight that they cannot find five minutes after the fight.
