Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Disagree on Drug Testing Approach

Floyd Mayweather and his camp have recently demanded Olympic level drug testing before the fight with Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao is okay with drug testing but doesn't want testing on the day of the fight he is okay with it at any other point or after the fight at any time. However, Olympic drug testing policies require random tests at any time. This has created problems for Olympic athletes who have been forced to take drug tests the day of their events. Such last minute random testing can seriously throw off an athlete mentally on the day of the event. Manny Pacquiao wants to avoid that altogether. Floyd and his camp are claiming this is the highest standard so they should be willing to abide by it but at the same time Pacquiao has a good reason to be against that exact approach. The bottom line is that both fighters are okay with drug testing but there is a disagreement over the approach. There are rumors flying that Mayweather doesn't want the fight or Pacquiao is ducking more stringent testing. Anything is possible but at the end of the day the fight has to be made. Earlier today Bob Arum countered with the drug testing approach of the NBA and NFL which is different from the Olympic approach. Only time will tell who will back down first to allow this fight to happen on time.
