In late 2009, Floyd stated that the only way he would fight Manny Pacquiao is if Manny would take random drug testing which would include blood and urine under the guidelines set forth by the USADA. Additionally, Floyd and his family accused Manny of cheating which is why they wanted Manny to take the tests.
In early 2010, Floyd continued his public bashing of Pacquiao but also stated that he was going to clean up all of sports with his 'drug crusade' of getting Olympic style drug testing into American professional sports. Manny Pacquiao would file a lawsuit against Floyd Jr. and his family for defamation.
Floyd's accusations continued throughout 2010, despite his absence from Boxing. Mayweather hasn't fought since May 1, 2010 and his ring return is uncertain at best. Currently, Floyd is dealing with 5 separate legal issues including serious felony charges that could land him in jail for a few decades.
Despite a defamation suit hanging over his head, Floyd continues to claim that Manny is afraid to take the drug tests. On the t-shirt, you can clearly see who Floyd is targeting as there is a "pac man" figure down in the bottom right corner of the shirt. Manny Pacquiao's nickname is "Pac Man".
It will be interesting to see how Manny and his people respond to this shirt, especially if Floyd actually mass produces them and sells the shirts on his website like he stated he would in his interview two weeks ago.
