There is no denying that Mayweather is a dick. He has always been a dick and that is why I don't like him, but it's a shame that Manny has turned out to be a bit of a dick too. Mayweather might be a ducker, but he's never going to have the stigma of drug abuse hanging over him.

At the end of the day Mayweathers demand is one that many professional athletes have to go through, so to turn down 40million big ones over a needle is just crazy. The fight was there to be made and the best Manny can do is to suggest a blood test 24 days before the fight. That is ridiculous, does he really need 3 weeks plus to get over a blood test and get himself in the zone? It's such a crock of shit and just makes him look like he is hiding something.
i know 40 million is a HUGE amount of money and could be the biggest to be made in a fight but you guys forgot where manny came from. he came from absolutely nothing so i think money is not the issue here. and ok. 24 days before the fight is a bit weak but how about right after the fight? everybody keeps on overlooking that fact. you dont think PEDS would be detected right after the fight?

no they wont be using come fight week, there is no point, PED's are mainly used in the buildup to the fight for training purposes, and cycled out by fight night, the tests need to be random, even if say give a window of a week before the fight when no tests will be done
