The hottest talk today in the ongoing negotiation for the Pacquiao – Mayweather fight covers the latest demand from the Mayweather camp that the two fighters subject themselves to a doping test to be performed by the USDA. The suggested testing involved random urinalysis and blood testing all the way to fight night. This means that the testing body involved, US Doping Agency, can and will, from time to time deman urine and blood samples from both fighters even a day prior to the fight.
Pacquiao although not balking at the idea has set his own condition if he were indeed to be subjected to such testing; no blood extraction 30 days before the fight. If the Mayweathers don’t agree to such a condition, then they can go take a hike. The Mayweathers on the other hand are not biting, at least not at the moment. They say that their demand is not negotiable.
If no compromise is made, then it looks like this fight is fucked to high heavens.

I am a firm believer that Manny is clean. He took a blood test 14 days before he fought Hatton and knocked him out in two rounds. What does he need to be taking now? I guess well have to wait and see, but ill stand by that comment. Although I am not sure if he can beat Floyd in March if it does eventually happen.
