It came out in the news a couple of days ago that Sugar Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. agree to an Olympic style drug testing to be conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The test includes the taking of blood samples from each fighter unannounced and as often as the agency deems it proper before and after the fight. It is the same test why the Pacquiao-Mayweather did not push through.
It has been said that the Olympic style drug testing issue was used by Floyd Mayweather Jr. to run away from a possible fight with Manny Pacquiao which will inevitably result in destruction from the hands of the latter. Since Mosley agreed to the same test, Mayweather can always use the argument that "if other fighters can agree to same, why not Manny?". And if Manny remains superstitious, negative and adamant against the test, the dream fight will never happen.
Manny Pacquiao doesn't have to prove anything; he is the best and he is the pound for pound king. But the fight fans want this fight to happen and right now Mayweather has the right card for the same to remain an illusion. Manny has to give in to the Olympic style drug testing, unless his superstitious stand on it is also nothing but an excuse not to face Floyd because he is also scared of him.
So it all boils down to following: Floyd is scared of Manny as evidenced by all his demands not even necessary nor required in traditional boxing rules and regulations just to make sure that the fight will not fall through. Manny is likewise scared of Floyd, cause if he were not, he would've agreed to the same test. Because if it were the contrary, the fight would've pushed through last March 13. Let us just wait and see what happens after May 1.
