Mayweather-Pacquiao in Jeopardy Over Drug Test - Merged Thread:

[madsweeney]

The problem is the timing.Manny doesnt want to get tested 30 days before the fight.Drugs have cycles,that's when he will get caught.He doesnt mind 5 minutes after the fight because he will have made his money.

Roach has stated they'll do as close as 3 days before the fight and immediately after.

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said he is insistent that his fighter not be tested within 24 hours of the fight. ...Roach extended an olive branch to the riff, saying he would allow Pacquiao to give a blood sample one week before the fight, but no closer than three days before the first bell.

Yeah...just a couple of weeks ago Arum was basically calling Manny a ***** if he didnt sign the contract and all of a sudden he is being overprotective. give me a break they need to cut the bull**** and make the damn fight happen already

Bob Arum should be #1 on this list

Floyd don't want to fight. It's that simple.

We may be getting ahead of ourselves. This could all just be a publicity stunt filled with dollar $ign$.

We haven't heard the last of it yet.

So A Blood Test Is The Only Thing That Can Spot HGH Use...

...and some of you silly boxing fans are complaining?

It's Floyd's fault that he wants to remove all doubt that he's taking part in a fair fight by demanding random tests that will stump cycling of any PEDs?

He will even subject himself to these tests, but only Manny will come away mentally affected by it according to Roach?

Since when is Manny a sissy?

I don't care what anyone says, no way that this doesn't reflect badly on Team Pac and Top Rank. No casual fan will believe Mayweather is shook for a second after giving into that outrageous overweight penalty clause and for the fact that he agreed to it without blinking.

Pacquiao actually believes that the blood taken out of him a day before the Morales fight caused him to be weakened which is why he lost the fight. then is it fair to say that Cotto forced to make the weight of 145 lbs the day before the fight cost him to be weakened wich is why he lost the fight? superstitions?

[street bully]

Its ****ing stupid, and is not even done therefore making it unjust. Kudos to Pacquiao for not listening to it.

Urine doesn't cover everything.

pac has agreed to before not less than 30 days to the fight & after the fight blood work.

what more do you want?


What the mayweather camp are asking is opening a whole new can of worms with the legality & required testing that is already in place in las vegas.

Neither does $$$, apparently the Mayweather Sr's couldn't buy a brain with all the $$$ his son is supposedly swimming in.
