The boxing community knows that Pacquiao’s focus and work ethic in the gym is awe inspiring. Mayweather is also known for turning up in the gym in the middle of the night. Both fighters are dedicated and would spend countless hours refining their craft. Mayweather’s savvy is not only confined inside the ring. His outside ring antics is aimed at gaining not only a psychological edge but physical advantages as well. Floyd’s drug testing demands is really to disrupt Manny’s physical training. Boxing fans should imagine that a potential 4 -6 blood tests and 7 -10 urine tests taken at different random intervals would get into Manny’s head and has the possibility of annoying and disrupting the Filipino icon during his workouts. The Filipino camp has offered to be blood tested three times during the course of the fight and to be urine tested anytime. The Mayweathers totally rejected this proposal. One has to think that their real motive is to throw off Manny’s fight preparations physically and psychologically. Countless disruptions and allegations like extra-marital affairs, gambling and film shoot-outs have no effect on Pacman’s past fight preparations. His ability to ignore the chaos and distractions around him is phenomenal. Would Manny fall into a trap that the Mayweathers have set-up? Pacquiao is not even stepping on it. The Filipino multi-division champ has even issued a statement of suing Floyd’s and the Golden Boy camp for treating him as a steroid criminal without proper evidence. The libel counter punch that Pacquiao threw is a testament that he is not giving up to Mayweather’s antics.
