Fight called off over blood testing prior to the fight
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8427743.stm
And pacman to sue FMJ & Golden boy promotions over it.

what do we think to this? from a recent video on skysports i cant see Mayweather wanting a way out of the fight as it sounded like he really wanted this and thought he had a very good chance of winning.
pacman on performance enhancing drugs? to me it just seems a little strange....if he wont do a blood test prior to the fight but will do straight after the fight? so what if they did find performance enhancers in his blood after the fight and he won? would the result be null?

I think the point is he wants to do it to the normal rules and wont be dictated to by Mayweather who just wants to do something different to create even more of a spectacle about.

From what I've read about the situation, it's partly that but more over the testing regime....I seem to recall the Mayweather camp (dad) wanted weekly blood tests done?
Pacmans trainer objected to that as it would effectively wipe out their training schedule because he would need to rest for 24 hours after each blood taking.

Put the titles on the line and I'll pay to watch. Otherwise I won't bother watching two people purely lining their pockets.
