The fighters can be expected to experience eight to ten random urine tests and five to six random blood tests in the ten weeks leading up to the fight
five to six randomly times your blood would be taken. How many of you hate to have it taken just once every few years? Imagine it having to be taken out of you six times in less than 3 months.
If it isnt one thing it is another with this management team. Notice i blame his management, not May himself.

I think the 40 Million would give me some comfort. It'd be hard, but I would find a way to cope.
how many boxers have accepted a 10 million dollar penalty for exceeding the 147 weight limit?????? Mayweather....pacquiao's demands are ridiculous
10Mil was only given because Floyd was caught cheating red-handedly. Was Pac caught cheating on roids red-handedly?

he was GREAT at the too...except he played football.
That's fine and dandy, no one is arguing that the style of testing isn't more effective. But the only one that has to happen according to the organization who is sanctioning the fight is the testing of the NSAC.
The need for USADA testing is UNPRECIDENTED in this case, which is why Team Pacquiao is standing their ground as they should.
And tell me IMDAZED, were you such a big advocate of USADA testing before all of this shit jumped off? Post proof if you were or shut the **** up.

Of course he will be taking the same tests...he's the one who is demanding the tests to be done.
You are an idiot if you don't see that Team Mayweather is just trying to get into Manny's head and get him out of his normal mental state.
If Team Pacquiao complies, then it is like bending over and saying 'Sure, have it your way'
The Nevada State Athletic Commission's drug testing has never been in question, so why feel the need to seek a 2nd opinion?
SSm was pissing clean during his alleged/confessed period of PED use?
U ppl are sickening. :nonono:
Team Pacquiao didn't flat out say 'NO' to the testing. But did you really expect them to just bend over to Floyd's demands and give up that mental edge. Its all a part of the negotiations, and I think it has less to do with the actual testing, than it does posturing.
Exactly, pac has said he has no problem with the testing, its just the testing that happens so close to the fight that he is worried about, if i was being being tested so would i
True boxing fans should want the best tests available. The fighters health are at stake, meaning these tests should be precedented.
Just because the NSAC only choose to do limited testing doesn't mean they shouldn't do more.
...and as a boxing fan, you should also consider if the boxer would be physically and mentally prepared given the tests that he has to undergo to 2 days b4 the fight, right? isn't 3 days b4 and/or 20mins after the fight good enough?
and he will take that p4p back by weighing more than what's been agreed.but hey, roach already knows he's gonna do that, that's why roach is asking for a 10mil penalty to "who of the two violates it". that's why this crackheads are asking for the test 2 days b4 the fight coz they know this could have some psychocological effect on pac come fight night.seriously, is this your way of testing a boxer's skill and ability?
A blood test is literally 30 seconds long. What type of psychological effect could it have on a man who is positive that they never took any performance enhancing drugs? Zero in my opinion. That's a poor excuse, I think team pac has something to fear though.
In my opinion I agree with the olympic testing for all fights. I believe each fight should be tested so skill and ability will determine the outcome not plaster or PED oranything else. Pacshould take the testing to erase all doubt. The real reason mayweather came back was to erase all doubt of who is p4p number 1. Only way to prove it is confront the situation.

For Manny to go the extra mile with the testing for one of the biggest, if not THE biggest fight of the decade in my opinion is not too much to ask. And despite what others say, this can be turned into a positive for Pacquiao considering all the steroid rumors surfacing after his annihilation of Cotto. He now has an unprescedented opportunity to silence all of those critics and proceed with making 30 million in his pocket. A man who has nothing to fear and is clean should have no problem subjecting himself to such a minor inconvenience. Good things may even come out from this type of testing in future fights and it may usher in a new era that may further clean up our beloved sport. I'm all for it. Do it Pac, and silence all the critics once and for all. Be the hero we all want you to be, cornyness aside.
Really? Why don't you argue with Margaret Goodman since she seems to disagree with you. Maybe you can tell her all about your boxing knowledge and how she doesn't know squat. Read EACH word carefully and let it soak in - I even bolded some for your dumb a**:
“Most states don’t test for steroids,” says Dr. Margaret Goodman, former Nevada Chief Ringside Physician and Chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission Medical Advisory Board. “In Nevada, we test fighters on championship cards. In New Jersey, they test every fighter for steroids. If we’d do what’s done in the Olympics or what the World Anti-Doping Agency recommends – sporadically test them during training – that would really be the best way. But if you check them right before or after a fight, they’ll test negative. Boxers are just as smart as anyone else and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to go online and look at how long a certain drug stays in your system.”
and pacquiao already agreed to that, just not 2 days b4 the fight, didn't he?
So f*cking what if neither test is foolproof? One of them is primitive while the other one, at the very least, is a START. Not giving in to Floyd's demands? The irony of a Pacquiao apologist spewing this crap. If you agree to OLYMPIC STYLED TESTING, THEN YOU AGREE. You can't decide when and which tests you'd like to take, wtf? That's PACQUIAO STYLED TESTING. Jesus Christ, you clowns disgust me. Luckily, most of you will disappear when he retired because you damn sure aren't boxing fans.
there is already a standard for testing you f*ck. and we have to change it because some family of crackheads said so? and you dare call yourself a boxing fan???
Bottomline...Unfortunately over the last year or so, many people have suspected Manny of using PEDs...and because of being suspected, he's being asked to take this type of testing...
If both fighters are agreeing to the testing - I don't know what's the big deal???
Mayweather agreed to the 10 million, if he's overweight???
To me...This is all postering...
there's no reason why mayweather shouldn't agree you dumb ****, he asked for this test...and to clear his name, pacquiao dead agree to take the test, just not 2 days before the fight coz it would have some mental impact on him. .
the only ones that don't want this fight to happen is Bob Arum and team Pac,they are afraid of what the tests may expose.they are trying to pull out now.
Changing the style of the testing for a fight of this magnatude removes all doubt in the ring, and after the fight happens. Like i said, manny and his team have gotten whatever they wanted for the last 4 years, this is negotiating, mayweahter agreed to the new date, 10million per pound overweight (which is fukking insane), manny agrees to his test and possibly negotiates when they take blood.
Its a negotiation, while other morons would suggest mayweather is trying to get out of the fight, which is stupid since mayweather has 0 history of pulling out of fights when they are this close. He also doesnt make negotiations very difficult. Like i said, Manny has had every fukking advantage he could possibly have from money, to weight, this and that, this is the one time hell be dealing with a fighter who is on his level of popularity and leverage. He has to give in at some point to the date that blood gets drawn.
No way in hell Mayweather is trying to get out of this fight. Too much money on the table win, lose, or draw.
Gain a mental edge?
Hell yeah, but he's known for doing that.
I see where you're coming from with the testing. Half of the blame goes on Team Pacquiao for 'agreeing' to Olympic style testing. Not 100% sure if they even did, being that no paperwork has been signed, but I guess we have to take everything with a grain of salt.
Hopefully they can work out a schedule of testing that wont affect Manny mentally (I strongly doubt that a blood test is doing anything to him physically) because if they don't...please believe that a Floyd victory will forever be tarnished in the eyes of a lot of people.
