the analogy has nothing to do with the $40M. it's just to show how someone would feel in the situation. pacquiao is rich enough to forego $40M coz he still has the capacity to earn that much in the future. same thing with mayweather, he could simply bend their demands and propose a more acceptable test wherein manny wouldn't be mentally affected because of drawing blood so close to the fight. mayweather kept saying pac is an easy fight for them, so why are they too concern for extra testing? something that they never asked previous opponents before? ...something that is unprecedented. aren't they also throwing away $40M for a supposedly easy fight? i think pac's ego is getting the best of him coz if it were me i'd take the test but i certainly would resent it coz i know where it's coming from.
You know what..if i am put on the spot like Pac is I would take the test and when I pass them say "see legit so shut the fuck up" end of story Pac looks like a god. Bottomline he isn't doing this.
Same thing goes with the security guard bullshit, I'm confronted like that I empty my pockets whatever and tell em to fuck off . Not doing that what do you expect people to think....that you have something to hide. I don't see how this is so hard for people to grasp
McGirt recalling the minute break between the 9th round of the Ward fight "He said, 'Help me stand up and I'll finish the fight.'"
Mayweather Sr. accused MannyPacquiao of using steroids even before the cotto fight. MP kept quiet so he could concentrate on the upcoming fight.
now that the bout with FMjr is in the works, the dirty talk didnt stop from the mayweather camp, MP's super pissed, its a demolition job! all the hard work sacrifice etc that brought him to the top is being put into question without any proof/evidence. MSr. (and paulie) sowed the seeds of doubt.
had the drugtesting issue been demanded/requested by the governing body (NSAC) then MP would have agreed. but coming from the mayweathers & gbp, no way! MP knows that the mayweathers' into mindgames so he stubbornly stood his ground. they wont own him!
if it were as simple as emptying your pockets that would be easy enough coz that might be standard procedure, but what if they wanted to do a thorough search when there was nothing you did that would warrant it? mayweathers doesn't want to bend in their demand of olympic style testing where fighters can be tested within 48 hours of the fight to which pac has issues with. anyways, i just hope they get back soon to the negotiation table and work this testing b.s. out.

the BASELESS accusations (from mayweather sr. & paulieM) started even before the negotiations (FMj/MP).
had there been no accusations beforehand, it would have been easier to negotiate with team pacquiao regarding additional testing.
and if they will deviate from the normal testing procedures done by the governing body, it should apply to ALL, not just to manny pacquiao.
It also would have given Pacquiao a chance to win his defamation suit. I've been reading all these articles on Pacland about how Pac's lawsuit is going to be worth millions and millions of dollars which is completely unrealistic. He may get half a million, here's why........he is not losing anything because of the accusations, he has chosen to not take the money which holds the method to prove his innocence or guilt. There is no case, what is the financial harm Pacquiao has been caused?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I would agree with you, but your what your missing here is probable cause.. Manny Pacquiao is acting almost identical to every other amateur and Pro athlete implicated for using Anabolic Steroids, growth hormone and any other PED that got caught.. I know people would like to believe that Pac is the 2nd coming but the stuff he is doing and has done are unprecedented the way he is retaining speed and power.... So yes Pac may be clean as a whistle but based on the recent history of fighters doing phenomenal things in this era with the help of chemical enhancements definetly rouses suspicion with PROBABLE CAUSE. In this era of the court of public opinion the onus is on the athlete to prove to us he's not using instead of us proving he is...
