|  Dana White: “I Think [Floyd] Mayweather Blew This Fight
Quote:
UFC president Dana White went on another verbal assault yesterday as he blamed Floyd Mayweather for ruining a blockbuster match with Manny Pacquiao.
“I think something happened to Floyd in his last fight, something wasn’t there that used to be there, something weird. I truly believe his legacy means more to him than money does,” White said of Mayweather.
Many people had blamed Pacquiao for his unwillingness to agree to Olympic-style drug testing up until two weeks before the fight, however White states that boxing fans should be pointing the finger at Money.
“Me and Floyd go way back … I think [Floyd] blew this fight,” White said. “When another fighter starts dictating a drug test, first of all Pacquiao’s never tested positive for any drug but Floyd’s going to make him go through drug testing? That’s ridiculous.”
Most might think White was screaming like a schoolgirl when this fight fell though, however he feels the complete opposite. While appearing on 106.7’s Lavar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes, the former amateur boxer stated that there was nothing more he wanted than to see those two mix it up.
Oddly, White believes there is plenty of room for both combat sports, but boxing keeps shooting themselves in the foot and he doesn’t mind staring at them in his rear-view mirror as they do it.
“Does [that bout not happening] hurt me either way? No I don’t think so, boxing and mixed martial arts can exist,” White explained. “That fight not happening is insane, it makes no sense to me.”

Dana's right about this. 'Money' just doesn't want this fight right now.

Yea but Pacman could have just taken the drug test. Wtf is his excuse for not taking one anyways. If he never tested postive before he has nothing to worry about.
Theres some fishy shit going on here.

Here's the full scoop on the blood test. I don't know if this is a reliable site or not but it explains Pacman's case on the blood test. Sorting Out the Pacquiao Blood Test Quagmire
Never tested positive, why does he need a blood test?
He felt that last time he took one he felt weak, whether that's possible or not, it does affect him mentally which could make or break the fight.
He is also willing to take one right after the fight, so where's the problem?

If both guys really wanted the fight, it would've happened. With Floyd's dumb blood testing requests and Manny's unwillingness to do so this close to fight time, this fight was just too good to be true. Why cancel the fight? Why not postpone it and give manny more time to recuperate from the blood tests? It wouldn't be the first time a fight got postponed.

Mayweather would take the drug test at the sametime. Pacman should be willing to take the damn drug test like Mosley but hey maybe he doesnt need that 50 million.
Oh well he would just get clowned like Mayweathers other 41 opponents.
