Hey Google.....
Why did Pac FINALLY give into May's "cruel" RANDOM BLOOD testing demand ?
"Manny Pacquiao finally agreed to Mayweather's strict USADA blood testing for their 2015 mega-fight because the prolonged negotiations and public pressure, along with Pacquiao's desire to prove his integrity and finally get the massive fight made, led him to accept the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) level testing without the specific cut-off dates he previously demanded. The main hurdle was Pacquiao's insistence on a 24-day cutoff for blood draws, fearing it would weaken him (
), but eventually, both sides agreed to the comprehensive USADA program, ending years of stalemate over the issue."
Key Reasons for Agreement:- Pressure & Desire for the Fight: The fight was massive, and the financial incentives and fan demand were immense, pushing both sides to find common ground after years of failed negotiations.
- Compromise on Timing: Pacquiao's team eventually dropped the demand for a specific cutoff (like 24 days) before the fight, agreeing to USADA's continuous, random testing right up to the event.
- Public Scrutiny: Allegations of PED use (which Pacquiao denied) had cast a shadow, and agreeing to the stringent testing was a way for Pacquiao to definitively clear his name and show he had "nothing to hide"....(he should have had NOTHING TO HIDE way back when !!!!)
- Mayweather's Stance: Mayweather had insisted on USADA testing for years, viewing it as crucial for clean sport, and Pacquiao ultimately conceded to his terms to make the bout happen....(because Pac needed the money)

Hey Google....
Why wasn't Mayweather punished for using an IV for the Pacquiao fight ?
"Floyd Mayweather was not punished for using an IV before the Manny Pacquiao fight primarily due to a jurisdictional conflict and communication failure between the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC)."
"Here is a breakdown of the key reasons no disciplinary action was taken:" -- USADA granted a retroactive TUE: Mayweather's team applied for and received a The****utic Use Exemption (TUE) from USADA for the IV use, but this exemption was granted three weeks after the fight took place. USADA defended its decision, stating that the substances in the IV (saline and vitamins) were not banned and the IV was used for rehydration.
- Conflict of authority: The NSAC, which has the sole authority to grant TUEs for fights in Nevada, stated that USADA did not have the power to authorize an exemption in their state and was not informed of the IV use until long after the fight. This created a disagreement over whose rules ultimately applied and who was responsible for enforcement.
- No banned substances: While the method of using an IV (over 50mL within a six-hour period) is banned under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) guidelines because it can dilute or mask other substances, the actual contents of the IV (saline and vitamins) were not on the WADA prohibited list.
- Lack of NSAC action: Despite the controversy and the NSAC's executive director calling the situation "totally unacceptable," the commission did not pursue any formal investigation or disciplinary hearing against Mayweather, which many attributed to the significant financial stakes and importance of the fighter to Las Vegas.
- Contractual terms: The contract for the fight included a provision for retroactive TUE applications, a fact public since May 2015, which Mayweather's team used as a defense.
