What do you guys think? 14 Days OST cut-off, Mayweather has no reason to refuse it now?
if gorilla-dog doesn't accept 14 days, then he's ducking pac, plain and simple; considering mosley/floyd cut off date was 18 days.
I agree with you boxers should be tested all year around if they have an active license.
Floyd has only used OSDT in his fight with Mosley and he doesn't know when he's going to be tested. USADA is probably going to test him a lot closer to fight night in his next fight.
Nobody will pay testing for all year round though.....it would be nice to see
Fighters could also use when they are out of training camp anyway.
USADA messed up the first time because the few days before the fight, they SHOULD have been tested no matter what
Manny just needs to agree to OSTD and the fight is on. He needs to stop making excuses. Floyd doesn't need him to keep making $30+M per fight.
YOur so invloved with Floyds ego and hiim making money......nobody care how much money he makes if its gonna break the Pac fight up
Stop demanding crap and compromise already. Pac is doing his part
he knows pac is fighter of the decade and is very jealous of it so he is looking for ways to say that pac didnt deserve it by accusing him of cheating to get it...moderntalking did I sum up your views in a nutshell?
no reason for floyd to shoot down a 14 day cut off, he will already be getting everything else he wants for negotiations.
if a 14 day cut off is the deal breaker, floyd is ducking, plain and simple, because there will be an immediate drug test after the fight............
But, that's the thing about this whole OST on a fight by fight basis, you end up having a pretty d*mn good idea when you're gonna be tested, and you know exactly when you're not gonna be tested...
...And, history says, the times that they do catch the cheaters is not when they're in full training, it's during their off-season !!

Your logic sucks. How the hell does someone who doesn't wanna be part of a particular testing automatically equate to acting guilty ?
PEDs ain't permanent in your body, bro. Who in their right mind would continue to dope up knowing full well he's gonna get tested. That's why this whole OST is bullsh*t, because it's a fight per fight basis, and it's general knowledge by the PEDexperts(such as USADA) that most athletes do their dirty deed during their off-season !
A fighter is not going to be taking drugs if he doesn't know when he's being tested. I never said Pac is taking PEDs.
I want real proof. You still don't show me any real proof. He's the same idiot who said the fight sold 1.1-1.2 million.
If the fight had a cut off date... it had to be in the contract and the Nevada boxing commission has the contract.
Like any of us here, we get our info from the media. The reporters on this media have better access to what is going on in boxing in term of contracts. Just like you guys, i posting a more reliable source in Kevin Iole, not making up shit.
Are you trolling? :D
Why would he be screwed if they stop testing 5 days before the fight?
Because he said it himself in their last negotiation..Do i have to bring up the interview that he had with Brian Kenny..Anyway, he said 14 days wasn't enough time, so 5 days would be useless as well..
From Kevin Iole of Yahoo:
That sounds like about a cut off date.

I agree.
But agreeing to 14 days proves that he is willing to bend on his original stance.
Roach: We agree to OSDT and any testing he wants.
Two days later...
Roach: Who does he think he is? We are only taking the test the commission wants us to take.
Manny to the PI media: Tell Floyd to call me out if he really wants to fight me and I'll fight him for free.
The next day...
My mom wants me to retire and I'm thinking of retiring.
I don't believe any shit they say.
They never had an agreement and cut off date for the Mosley fight.
From Kevin Iole of Yahoo:
The United States Anti-Doping Agency confirmed Friday that the final blood sample taken from Shane Mosley was April 12 and the final one taken from Floyd Mayweather was April 13 as part of their agreement to undergo random, Olympic-style testing prior to their May 1 welterweight boxing match in Las Vegas.
That sounds like about a cut off date.
Maybe Pac wasn't ready then but atleast he's making an effort to make the fight happen now.
Team Pac is still not ready. What effort? Saying you're going to do something and actually doing something is different. Actions speak louder than words.
They never had an agreement and cut off date for the Mosley fight.
You don't know what was discussed behind closed door man. All we have is the official dates to go on and it does seem weird that there was no blood testing for almost 3 weeks before the fight. That's a long fukn time man.
Manny need to see it as a lottery..Chances are, he might get lucky with USADA stop testing for blood 30 days or 20 days before the fight, or he might get screw if they stop it 5 days or the day before the fight..
Since its 18 days for the Mosley fight and Pac wanted 24 days during the 1st negotiations, then maybe agree on 21 days. Read something like this on the Ring mag. If Pac agrees on 14 days, so be it.
