One thing I noted in an article was Pacquiao's reaction he was that he was really pissed off and at that time he responded with the Law Suit. So while I totally agree that he should have just taken the random testing, I can also understand why he didn't give in fully to the demand.
    Please oh please look at the facts and make a judgement.

    Pac has just knocked back the biggest fight in the last decade because he doesnt want to take random blood tests, thus giving up his biggest ever payday.
    This does not prove anything, but are you telling me it doesnt raise your suspicions somewhat? His main excuse was that he doesnt want the tests within 3 days of the fight, yet when Mayweathers camp said he could stop tests 14 days out he still renegged. Thus making his main excuse void.
    Other excuses include the one about how Pac and his team dont wanna give Floyd the payday as they hate him so much. If this is the case then why enter into the negotiations at all, then when u do pull out do it for a reason that tarnishes Pacs legacy and name.

    No one pulls out of the biggest fight in recent memory cos of random blood tests unless they have something to hide.

    I disagree. This was about egos. By the time Floyd was able to compromise to 14 days, Manny was already pissed too much to care. Plus we can't assume that Manny feels the same way about the payday as Floyd does. Living in the Phillipines, he has enought money for 100 lifetimes. There's not much in the Phillipines that you can do with 40 million that you can't do with 10 million. Plus he has many other sources of revenue. Floyd let his ego get this best of him and by the time he was ready to compromise he had already gone too far. This is the first time in a long time that he had been in negotiations with someone that has as much, if not more star power than him. And make no mistake, Floyd needs the payday. Between the I.R.S., gambling, and stripper money, he needs it. Manny doesn't. Not to say he doesn't want it, but he doesn't need it.

    So he tarnished his legacy and name forever, and gave up 40-60million because he was angry at Floyd....... Righto whatever u think.

    First time in a longtime he has negotiations with a fighter who has as much or more star power than him....? Ahem 2 of his last 3 fights have been against ODLH and Ricky Hatton, possibly the 2 biggest draws in world boxing especially Oscar at the time.

    Since when are you an expert on Floyds money?
