We have since heard them say that they will accept a 14 day window and so on, but still Pac initially refused a mega fight because he didn't want to adhere to comprehensive drugs testing. There is no getting away from that.
As I say Floyd is a lot of things, but we cannot say that he has ever refused a drugs test.
It is not blatantly untrue to say either fighter was the cause of the first failed negotiation. I once refused to drive a car but that doesn't mean, I don't know how to drive. Anyone can continue to quote the original statement and say I don't know how to drive. The fact is, I drive just fine. Someone saying I can't drive, because I once refused to drive is intentionally misleading the point of the subject matter, which is exactly what you do taking about a fight being made between Floyd and Pac.
What appears more and more evident is that Mayweather Jr. simply does not want to fight Pacquiao. There is no because argument to the contrary because Floyd is unwilling to even go to the negotiating table.
You keep repeating that Pacquiao doesn't want to take the test but that is a blatant lie according to the NSAC which has stated he has testing clean in every test he is ever taken. And before you start repeating the BS, what they test for is what is on the list of banned substances including tests that fall under the Random testing policy they implemented in 08'. It doesn't matter if they test blood or urine, the fact is they test for what is on the banned list. Having a discussion about any other testing is simply not within the criteria of the rules and not part of the negotiations so it wouldn't be relevant toward making a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao.
