Mayweather and his camp should have accepted the testing terms that Pacquiao agreed to. Manny agreed to 3 random blood tests for this fight, one which would have been immediately after the fight. Although not specifically the Olympic style testing that Floyd's camp wanted, it would
have been good enough.
Pacquiao on the other hand, if he has nothing to hide, why not just do the testing? It would shut Floyd up, and they could get this deal finalized.
It's not like they are going to be taking an amount of blood that is massive enough to affect his performance.
Put your pride aside, and do whatever it takes to make this happen.
Not only would this be a great fight, but the pay day for these two would be ridiculous. Pacquiao and Mayweather were both guaranteed a minimum of 25 million dollars, and let's face it, factoring in the PPV buys, merchandise, sponsors, live gate, etc, they stand to make a lot more.
I could not be more disappointed that this fight is not going to happen, it makes all involved, including the sport look bad. It's like a horrible soap opera, and I've seen a lot of soap operas (shocking, I know). I'm sure lots of boxing fans are just as angry as I am, because these two are being so stubborn! Just make it work! You are going to be getting paid a ton of money, suck it up and get it done!
I mean for 25 MILLION dollars, I would even consider getting in the ring, and let's be serious that would be a horrible idea.
