The Pacquiao/Mayweather debacle was caused by a clash of EGOS. One boxer wants to impose a new requirement & the other does not want to be imposed upon. Floyd did not request for the Olympic-style testing but demanded it. If he was after a level playing field, he should have agreed to have the fight in Dallas where xylocaine use is banned. This will give more credibility to his demand. Manny has the right to refuse the demand but by doing so, he should have known that it will put him under suspicion. But the pathetic & lame excuses that his team came up with were unbelievable. Although these are just my opinion, I believe that all will agree that both of them are at fault for not having the fight happen.
But can someone here please tell me who brought the negotiations about the blood testing out in the public. The fight may have been salvaged had they kept it private. Once it was brought out to the public, neither fighter would want to be upped by the other.
