Chris you're a good poster and I respect your opinion but I disagree with you on this. Advanced drug testing goes beyond governing bodies. The USADA testing costs 20 thousand dollars for testing these 2 fighters, that's just not practical for the government controlled commissions. It's just like testing is notoriously less rigorous at qualifying events and other tournaments then it is at the actual Olympics. Bigger events should be treated differently. As an athlete especially today, the onus is on you to prove yourself to be clean. If a fighter is willing to foot the bill and agrees to the same tests and penalties, it shouldn't be out of bounds for a fighter. If you believe that Floyd shouldn't be allowed to demand testing and that should be left to the commission then the same should ring true for the penalties of missing weight, which is usually decided by the commission but Pacquiao was able to get Mayweather to agree to a ridiculous $10 mil per pound penalty.
I think the best way for Pacquiao to eliminate any doubts is simply to take the tests if he really wants the fight. I'm sure he does, it's just shady how he balks at this. I would hope he isn't on anything but when you don't agree to random testing (even at the 24 day cutoff mark I don't believe he ever agreed to random blood testing, rather a series of 3 scheduled tests) then it just gives off the wrong impression.
