No matter what people say............
Mayweather still does the best testing but just not year round.
Please don't put Pacquiao's name in the same breathe with Mayweather's when it comes to testing because that guy doesn't take any test.
Aleast Floyd does testing while he is training and before he gets in a ring and hits someone in the head.
Lets call it semi-olympic style testing.
Still better than no testing.
Victor Conte trying to discredit Mayweather when he is the only fighter out there who is willing to be tested is absurd.
Victor should get his fighters (berto,Donaire,Ward) to do the test as well.
Boxers have to pay for their own testing.
Olympic athletes don't pay for their own testing. Big difference.
This much we know...................Floyd Mayweather is a clean fighter when he steps in the ring on fight night and while he is training for the fight.
When he is not fighting he doesn't get tested..................TRUE.
But I don't think steroids will help him go to clubs, gamble, travel, spend time with his family, buy houses and cars, play pick up basketball , etc.
When you start to criticize a guy for trying to clean up the sport from steroid cheaters, then maybe you are just upset because you want to keep the steroids in boxing.
Ariza,Conte, and guys like that who only b-tch and moan about why there should be extra testing in a sport as brutal as boxing, are the ones who have something to lose and something to gain with the help of steroids.
If Pacquiao loses then Ariza loses.( Less money money money for Ariza))
If Pacquiao wins then Ariza wins.( more money money money for Ariza)
Mayweather can't change the game by himself. You need other fighters, promoters, congress, commissions, media, santioning bodies, etc to do their part.
Rome wasn't built in a day. It's gonna take time before boxing can get cleaned all the way up.
Floyd is just the one who has sparked the flame.
I'm willing to bet real money that Pacquiao is on steroids.
To be so defensive on such an important topic such as random testing to clean up the sport tells me one thing........................
You must be cheating.
How can a political figure such as Pacquiao be against drug testing?
He should step down as a congressman right now because he is a fraud.
Now that I think about it, I remember reading an article the other day. New Jersery Athletic Commission does Random blood and urine out-of-competition testing year round.
1. I wonder where they get the funding to this and why can't NSAC do the same?
2. Manny fought in Texas with no problem, I wonder if he'll except a bout in New Jersey where OSDT is mandatory. I mean Manny does go by the "commission". He never specified which commission, so he should be able to go by the NJAC as well. Atlantic City, Mayweather vs Pac, HERE WE COME:)
Manny won't take a test anywhere................
Plus the state taxes in NJ make it impossible to fight there.
Keiser has his own agenda, and doesn't want the extra work load with additional testing.
Lets see, in 2010 Nevada has had 30 Boxing Cards/events: http://boxing.nv.gov/New_2010resultspage.htm
Based off on checking those 2010 results above, the average card has about 5 or 6 bouts. That's 10 or 12 Athletes/Fighters that need to be Random Tested, per fight card.
12 Athletes per card x 30 Boxing Cards per year = 360 Athletes needed to be Randomly Tested. Now, lets keep in mind that Keiser isn't paying for it out of his pocket, it would be paid for with revenues generated from the Event itself (I.E. Gate, PPV).
Lets also keep in mind that Random Testing doesn't mean testing the Athletes every day, until the fight, which would be a lot of Blood to test in the lab. Hypothetically, they could only show up and test the fighters only one time, but it would be random and they wouldn't be prepared for it.
Based on everything I just said, Keiser is more worries about the additional work than the cost of it.
Andre Ward was quoted saying it was something like 50-100,000 for him to take OSDT leading up to the fight if I remember correctly.
So using your number of 360 fighters it would cost somewhere between 18-36 million to implement just testing leading up to the fight. I can only imagine what full year round testing would be.
You really think the state of Nevada can or could even consider covering that bill? Not likely...
Its only a problem if Floyd demands the testing.. Do you really think he will have a problem with the boxing commission were asking for test..
So in one breath Manny agrees to the testing.
Then in the another breath he doesn't want to do it because of Floyd's demands and will only do what the commission says do?
Which one is it?
I agree year round testing is the best way. Sure. But how in the world is Manny going to agree to YEAR ROUND testing when 8 week testing before a fight is a problem for him?

WHen you really think about it Mayweather is the one who doesn't get tested enough I mean he only gets tested 2 months prior to his fights and takes long ass vacations. ANd then he comes back and looks stronger than ever. I think it's slowly coming to light.:boxing:
indeed. it's very very suspicious. he fights once a year and still manage to win. if there's anyone who should be tested thoroughly it's floyd.
:bigeyes:
Victor Conte made some very interesting points regardin Mayweather and his method of testing which is not truely OSTD.
Infact, you have Floyd fighting once every year plus, and Conte has a theory why, and to be honest with Floyds behavior lately, I think Conte may be on to something here.
if Floyds about the testing and truely wants to clean up the sport, lets do the testing year round, OSTD style and see whats up anything short of that, well if I was Manny I would tell Floyd to **** himself.

so all mayweathers wins prior to mosley dont mean **** because we dont know if he was clean? at the end of the day, he only asked for this testing because he is brickin it from pacquiao. its clear as day with the comments he makes.
as a boxing fan im more interested in watching the best fight the best. not excuses from mayweather and from pacquiao.
seems alot of people round these parts are more interested in getting extra testing than getting big fights. pretty sad.
You are a fukking flomo though. I'm not, I'm neither a pactard or a flomo. I'm in the 10% of posters here who dont suck any fighters ball's or ramble on about them like a gushing little schoolgirl.
You most definitely in the bumsniff category, no getting away from it, sorry.
New day, still mad.
not get tested enough is still more than not get tested at all..we've seen floyd take the random test on 24/7
duckqiao on the other hand said he was scared of needles then the gap issue then the USADA issue oh lord please help out mr duckqiao :crying:
Duckqiao? Thats really funny, bozzo. Why dont you regale us with one of your racist chinaman style posts....

Flomos are on panicked mode today. first floyd's sold only 800k ppv then they found out that floyd's ost testing isnt olympic but floyd's attempt to play mind games
