It's hard to avoid speculation that Mayweather is simply scared stiff.
It shouldn't matter if he wins or loses, he would still make enough money to live the rest of his life on.
For that amount of money, heck, I'll go against Pacquiao.
i think he's thinking long-term he came back to boxing for the money, but i think he wants to finish undefeated and will schedule fights accordingly. then he can run around when retired referring to himself as the greatest of all time, and point to his undefeated record. i'm sure that's worth a good deal of money on the appearance circuit.
and if someone says "yeah, well, you wouldn't fight pacquiao," then he'll respond with the drug test crap.
as i see it, it's all very calculated.
what you're saying is reasonable but why has manny backed out of the blood test?Quote:

apprently pac has a needle phobia, but eventually was still willing to take it but mayweather bricked it.
He agreed to urine tests and swabs and also to have a blood test immediately after the fight.Quote:

so +1 on mayweather bricking it. i think he wants to do 1 or 2 more fights, make a nice $30 million or so, and then retire saying he's undefeated and manny was scared to take a drug test. then he can go around making appearances for $$ and start his own promotions company.
It is a totally screwed up situation. After all, the Boxing Commission makes the rules regarding everything. As you said, Manny agreed to everything that's normal in boxing.
Mayweather just thinks he can bend the rules to prevent the fight from happening... pussy. so you are totally right about mayweather bricking it.
