    I don't ge how some people are making out like Floyd's scared of Pacquiao by asking him to take these tests. I've seen some comments saying this is proof that Floyd doesn't want to fight Manny. How? Last time i checked, Mayweather wanted to fight in May and Pacquiao wanted March. If Floyd was scared, why didn't he walk away then? Instead, he agreed to fight when Pacquiao wanted it. He then submitted to the ridiculous demand of $10 million per pound over. Again, if he was scared, he would have used this demand as an excuse to walk away. Now he wants Pacquiao to submit to random drug testing, which he also will undertake, and suddenly he's scared? I don't get it. Surely people should be happy to know that on the night there will be absolutely no doubt that the guy that wins is the better fighter, and not just the guy that took PEDs and didn't get caught? I think Manny's clean, but come on now, giving up the biggest payday of your career because you don't want to take a blood test to prove you're clean is just plain stupid. This should be made a rule throughout boxing, and i understand some people saying he shouldn't have to submit to something that others don't have to, but when was the last time a fighter submitted to a $10 million per pound penalty? Should that not be made a rule throughout boxing also? If he's got nothing to hide just do it. They just need to get this fight on. Whoever said these would be some of the messiest negotiations in boxing are being proved right

    The problem is that some people are diehard fans. It's no problem but these diehard fans have to look at the whole picture. And what Floyd is doing IMO is commendable. It looks like they might work it out but Manny is still saying that he doesn't wanna give blood. The blood is the KEY. I was the BIGGEST A-Rod fan, I watched him on 60 minutes saying he was clean and I was like "fuck yeah, my favorite player A-Rod is clean, he's gonna overturn the damage Bonds did" and then I found out that he wasn't. I was shocked. Really in the end, I still root for him because he's supposedly clean now and still a monster of a player but damn I just wish he was clean the whole time, now I know though. In boxing, PED use is even more important because it's physical one on one combat. I love Floyd but I really like Manny too. I'll be rooting for Floyd in the fight. I just want the winner to be clean. That's all. These diehard fans are letting the fan in them cloud their judgment. They don't care if Manny is clean or not. Their gonna root for him regardless. Which is fine but if the guy is cheating, all fans should know.
