The Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao mega-fight was scheduled for last March 13, but because of Pacquiao’s unwillingness, it did not happen. And who is to say if, or when, it will. The fight was cancelled because the fighters could not agree on a blood-testing policy.
Mayweather wanted random blood testing up until the night of the fight. Pacquiao recently has said, “As long as the drug test is not done close to the match, I’ll agree. Because if they get blood from me close to the match, it will be a disadvantage for me because I’m smaller and he’s big.’’
Well, that is not much of a disadvantage because if Pacquiao is weakened by blood testing, so will Mayweather. They both are taking the same test.
Also, Travis Tygart, CEO of United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has said, “We don’t do anything that can potentially impact an athlete’s performance,” so there is no weakness caused by this test. This shows that Pacquiao is making excuses, because he is scared to fight Mayweather.
If Manny is not scared to fight the undefeated Mayweather, who is 41-0 lifetime, could it be he is taking performance-enhancing drugs? If the fight were to happen, not only would Floyd “Money” Mayweather beat Pacquiao, he would knock him out. There would be no need to look at the scorecard.

Mayweather hasn't fought since May 1 of last year, and he has three fights since 2007. Pacquiao, on the other than, fought twice in 2010, twice in 2009 and three times in 2008.
Clearly he's not afraid to get in the ring. Either way, whoever is holding up this fight needs to realize that boxing hinges on it.
