Apparently Manny Pacquiao “is refusing to comply with Olympic style drug testing as outlined and mandated by the United States Anti-Doping Agency and as requested by Mayweather’s management to ensure fair play and sportsmanship by both fighters”, as is stated in a press release from Golden Boy Promotions, who is negotiating the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao, for Floyd Mayweather.

Why would Manny Pacquiao resist a fight between him and Floyd Mayweather is beyond me. This must be some sort of negotiating tactic, because any athlete that is not using illegal substances to gain an unfair advantage, should not hesitate to take a test, at any given time.
Fanhouse.com is reporting that…Arum said the 31-year-old Pacquiao has no problem with boxing’s standard procedure of urinalysis, but that he does take issue with randomly testing his blood.
There is talk today that this resistance by Manny may hold up the signing of the contracts for this fight, that was supposed to happen on March 13.
Say it isn’t so Manny!…Just take the test and keep it moving…
