Mayweather Camp Backs off From Initial Demands

Although the fight is still in danger of not happening as scheduled on March 13th, the Mayweather camp camp has backed off a bit by saying that they will accept anyone doing the testing and not necessarily the USADA (Olympic testing in the US). The problem still is that they want random testing and the negotiation now is down to time frame. The Pacquiao camp are still upset that they have to go through with this additional level of testing despite always abiding to the boxing commission testing standards. Mayweather wants blood testing and wants it to be random the Nevada state athletic commission does only urine testing and claim that is enough. All in all, the camps are still far apart and both sides are upset by allegations whether it be performance enhancing drugs or wanting to get out of the fight.

Pacquiao will be more motivated than ever to obliterate Mayweather based on his recent strong comments which are very unlike him. He has basically called out Floyd as a coward and told him things will be settled in the ring. That is very uncharacteristic of Manny but you have to imagine he will be hungry to lay a beating on Floyd based on these comments. Floyd loves to manipulate but this time it might backfire on him.
