Manny Pacquiao is no stranger when it comes to being accused of using PEDS (Performance Enhancing Drugs) and to prove his innocence, the Filipino boxer-lawmaker bared that he insisted on having a $5 million fine for either he or Floyd Mayweather Jr. just in case one of them fails the drug testing.
Pacquiao has been time and again accused of PED use but the Filipino fighter bared that he is willing to undergo drug testing.
It was Mayweather's camp that batted for an Olympic-style way of drug testing to see if Pacquiao was indeed a non-PED user.
Though he was apprehensive at first claiming that he was afraid of needles, Pacquiao has since set that aside and agreed just to make the fight happen. And that hefty $5 million fine is something that should set the bar that he is a clean fighter.
On Friday it was finally announced that an agreement had been reached between Pacquiao and Mayweather, and that the two prolific boxers would meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2, 2015. The MGM Grand tickets for the historic fight sold out in just 15 minutes.
