It's a bit daft to say that Manny should not take the test and avoid the fight just in order to stop Mayweather making a big payday. Both of these fighters need each other to make this kind of cash. Just as it's true that Mayweather won't make $30m+ fighting Matthew Hatton, it is also apparent that Manny is not going to make $30m+ fighting Malignaggi or Bradley either.
Again, it's a weak argument and again skirts the simple fact that Manny will not allow himself to be randomly tested for drugs.
So once again, you'd rather see Pacquiao take Mayweather to court (in case that no judge would give Manny a judgment on) instead of Manny taking a couple blood tests and being involved in the biggest fight in history? This is what I don't understand about some of you guys, if Manny is clean, WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF HE TAKES A COUPLE BLOOD TESTS?!?! Mayweather is taking them too. Pacquiao has given blood (not for PED testing) during training before, we have video proof of this. What is yall guy's beef with the additional testing? It'd be different if Pacquiao was the only one burdened with the extra testing but Mayweather himself has to take the testing too.
Pac fans need to get out of their bubble and realize their man is threading on some very very dangerous ground here and is unnecessarily tarnishing his reputation. When the general public and mainstream press start to weigh in, its very unlikely they'll blame the man who is asking for the stricter testing standards. Doping is a major global issue and most fans are simply disgusted by those (like the mlb player's union) who've enabled this cheating. Pac does not want to be an the same side as Nevada officials who have knowingly kept standards low. He's absolutely on the wrong side of history here.
There's simply no excuse for avoiding olympic style testing and Pac's ever shifting excuses (afraid of needles, disruption of his training schedule, mental weakness, and USADA bias) makes him sound like a guilty man to the unbiased observer, even though he's probably not. To make matters worse, PBF has dropped the USADA requirement, and he still won't agree to fight. Try explaining to the average person that an athlete should be allowed to avoid a standard drug test simply because he "feels" it weakens him. Doesn't pass the smell test and frankly the charges of USADA bias appear to be an excuse too.
On top of all that, PBF has agreed to a 50/50 split, the date Pac wanted, and the unusual weight (I didn't remember Leonard telling the bigger hearns there must be a lower welterweight limit) coupled with a 10million per pound fee. Plus, the defamation suit woin't help since the standard to defame a public figure in the US, where the first amendment is the critical principle, is so high he has virtually no chance of winning.
Pac is on the cusp of boxing greatness. If the fight doesn't materialize because he refused olympic-style testing, history will judge him a coward or worse.
it's all about control. if pac gave in just like that they will be giving leverage to the mayweathers. they will eventually work around it where it would be by mutual agreement to do a different but still effective test and it would be random. just wait and see. in the meantime, forums and headlines are abuzz talking about this shit. lol
