I don't understand why this situation is even being given time anymore...

I have to wonder if the whole thing was a "phishing" expedition/head game gone wrong. PBF thinks let's mess with his head a little, seeing as how it's already been kinda thrown out there, and see how he reacts to the suggestion of Olympic style testing.

Pac probably could have dissipated the whole thing with a flat out no compromise, "No, I've never tested positive. You don't have the authority to dictate the testing rules. We're following the standard rules as they have been followed. If you want different rules/procedures lobby to have them changed with the commissions." This is probably what PBF expected. He would have dropped it from the contract, but would have saved it as a way to try to push Pac's button and get under his skin during the promotions.

Instead there followed a slew of lame excuses and half compromises, at which point PBF and the rest of us had no option but to be suspicious. PBF pretty much had to push at that point, and ironically Pac in the end refused to compromise on the 14 days after (IMO) getting the whole thing off track by compromising on the issue in the first place!

before all this back and forth bickering about blood tests and all, floyd jr. was already a villain to the american public because that is the way he marketed himself. on the other hand, pacquiao had this squeaky clean, wholesome imagine. now, look what's happened? mayweather jr. is still the villain while pacquiao's reputation has taken a gigantic hit. so who's the winner here pr wise? it's gotta be floyd jr. because he has always had this "me against the world" attitude while pacquiao was everybody's media darling. imo, pacquiao has lost alot more credibility than floyd jr. has.
