Thumbs down Mayweather - Pacquiao fight called off

PBF wanted blood testing randomly up to the weigh in knowing full well Manny is superstitious of blood tests. Manny agreed to testing 60 days before and immediately after the fight along with random urine testing.

PBF won't back down and is basically accusing Manny of doping.

Bob Arum has called off the fight of the century.

THANKS FLOYD FOR RUINING THE GREATEST MATCH OF OUR GENERATION.

Floyd is a complete douche IMO. Accusing of doping is one thing, but to turn down the already agreed to testing is ridiculous. He has nothing to hide, especially with random urine tests and a test immediately post fight.

Exactly!

He actually agreed to 3 blood tests total(none of which are required by the Nevada Gaming Commission), one during the press conference in January, one 30 days before, and one immediately after. Roach said he would even try to convince him to do one up to the week before the fight. He just didn't want multiple random tests because he feels it would weaken him.

Mayweather knows that and exploited it. If a fighter thinks that taking blood will make him weaker then IT WILL MAKE HIM WEAKER IN THE RING.

In my opinion, Mayweather looked for a different excuses NOt to fight my boy Pacquaio. What a P$$*y.

LOL! Mayweather seems to be using psychological tactics to ruin Manny's intelect and concentration to lose the fight.

Seems like Mayweather's become pretty unpopular in the US too because of this insistence on unnecessary dope testing
