    Yeah to me it is a weak defense to say that there is no reason to say that Pac is being unfairly singled out and therefore he shouldn't take the test. Hopkins, Haye, those guys haven't refused tests to my knowledge. As an athlete, the onus is on you to be as transparent as possible about testing and if not you run the risk of incriminating yourself. I don't know either way but the doubt is there and that's Pacquiao's fault.

    The drug testing demand of Floyd has been a public relations disaster for both Team Mayweather & Team Pacquiao. They both could have handled it differently. Team Mayweather could have come up with the statement that Floyd wants blood drug testing to be implemented in any of his future fights & would insist that the Nevada Boxing Commission come up with the terms of such blood test (so that it does not appear like he is dictating the terms of such drug test) or Team Pacquiao comes out with a statement that they're agreeable to blood drug testing but would want the Commission to dictate the terms & they would abide by such terms (so that it doesn't appear like Manny is hiding something & it would not allow Floyd to dictate the terms) . This puts the ball in the hands of the Commisssion. Public outcry & Commissions desire to have the megafight in their city would have made them act on those request.

    Your the last person who should be telling people what common sense is, considering how ridiculously biased and irrational you are.

    I dont hate Pac at all, i do not like a lot of his Pactard supporters such as yourself. Common sense would tell anyone that a guy walking away from a 40 million + payday all due to not wanting to take random drug tests seems a bit suspicious. Surely even the most deluded fan of Pac would agree that i seemed a very strange move?
