Mayweather said that fighting Pacquiao would be a "health risk". He also stated that it was "basic common sense" that Pacquiao had used performance enhancing drugs.
Mayweather once again said it is "basic common sense" that Pacquiao has used performance-enhancing drugs and getting in the ring with him would be a risk to his future health.
"Health is more important than anything," Mayweather said. "Because guess what? When my career is over, if I'm hurt because of something that has happened in a fight, I can't come to you and say, 'I need (money).' "
Mayweather discussed that fans or promoters don't care of someone in the sport of boxing gets hurt and how the boxing world doesn't care if Pacquiao is using. He went on to say that King and Arum are all about the money and said the reason why he won't fight Pacquiao is that he won't forfeit his health for money.
"People say, 'We don't give a f--- if he's taking or not; we just want to see the fight. We don't give a f--- about your health and we don't give a f--- about your family.' " Mayweather said.
"I care about my family. I love my family. They're going to be there when no one else is there. When my career is over, you're all going to move on to the next one."
"Don King and Bob Arum don't see out the eyes of a fighter because they're not a fighter," Mayweather said. "All they care about is some f------ money. I care about a fighter's well being because I am a fighter.
"I know how it is to have a broken rib the rest of your life. I know how it is to piss blood. You all don't know nothing about this."
"It took me years to get to here -- years," Mayweather said. "I'm going up in weight but I'm not walking through no damn fighters. (Pacquiao) is 106; now he decides to walk through (Miguel) Cotto? Cotto can't knock down (Shane) Mosley, but can he?"
When it comes to that point it makes sense as damning of an accusation it might be. Throughout the years in the sport of boxing when someone moved up in weight classes they sacrificed some of their power. Only a select few were able to maintain their power but not many. I don't think Mayweather is scared. In fact I think he's playing a game of human chess.

I thought Pacquiao agreed to whatever testing Mayweather wanted. Then Mayweather made another excuse that he wanted more money? I think Mayweather may be second guessing himself. Regardless isn't Manny still smaller than Floyd? I am just not sure about how he can be juicing. What is manny 145. 30 punds gained over the years doesn't seem that much. Regardless Bob Arum has to make sure this fight happens!!!
Mayweather is scared he always comes up with stupid excesses manny is willing to take the test the only way Mayweather can call him self the greatest of all time is to fight manny when you think of all the great they never ran from no one

mayweather never made the excuse to want more money, this fight never happened because of arum...negotions never happened, they were assumed, arum put up a time clock on his website to give the impression, read more into it, pacquiao never agreed on the test either....and his point is legit. theres no way boxers put on weight and become faster, you have to give up in order to gain. speed isnt something you can gain its something you naturally have.
