Pacquiao-Mayweather in jeopardy...

[Gandalf]

Good Post. I agree. Nothing wrong with drug tests.

Why is Mayweather requiring as a condition of the fight taking place that Pacquiao submit to drug tests when he did not require Marquez to take drug tests?

That's an interesting question. Maybe because it's Pac that has been going up the weights blowing people away with such ease and Mayweather wants to make sure there are no issues at play. Marquez looked to be up to his limits at 135, but it was his sheer will that got him through. Pac has been blowing through opponents like the wind through leaves. It is impressive, but it leaves you thinking "how does he keep on going up and doing it ever more impressively?". I understand Mayweather wanting to get Pac checked out, and if Manny has nothing to hide, then you would think he would have no issues complying. It's for a mammoth payday and the extra effort involved is really quite minimal.

there wasnt suspicion for the reasons youve listed such as marquez maybe not looking his best at 135 never mind 147, main for me is though.... nacho has never had a fighter test positive for performance enhancers... roach has!

also marquez didnt have anyone that we know of in his team with links to the balco scandal..... pacquaio does!

Yeah, the reasons given were more my own than anything Mayweather might have actually been thinking. Your reasons sound like something a lot more worrying.
