Why didn't he ask for this testing for the Marquez fight than?Comment

If the NSAC has agreed to Olympic testing for this bout, tell me...what's YOUR problem with it?No, NSAC doesn't need proof to do the test. They have the authority to call the shots since the fight is being held in Nevada. The problem with USADA's administering the test is that they have close affiliation with GBP, although I don't think they're going to do some hocus pocus in the test result but it is already bias.Comment

It's messed up that Pacquiao has to take these tests on top of Floyd Sr.'s allegations. But he and his team didn't help the situation. I'd say Pacquiao and his team made matters 6x worse. Atleast, here he has a chance to clear his name and this could lead to a new start; a new start for Boxing.
I agree boxing needs a better testing system. But you don't implement it on the demands of one fighter. Floyd has never asked for anything like this before. He's already said Pac is an easy fight. So why now?
If testing like this is going to be done, it should be done to every boxer. It shouldn't be done because someone assumes another fighter is cheating yet has no proof.
Pass it as a law or a rule that applies to everyone and I'll be behind it. Use it to try and gain leverage on another fighter based on assumptions and conjecture....that I cannot get on board with.Comment

And using your logic its ok to change the rules and testing procedures based on assumptions. Pass a law or make it a rule and I'm all for it. Doing it on the demands of one fighter with no proof? Sorry, I ain't on board with that.Comment

Who is changing the rules? Again, if the NSAC agrees -- and even SUPPORTS it - whats your problem?Comment

I Floyd Mayweather refuse to take a random drug test he would be crucified, And the test is for both fighter, Whether Mayweather has never ask his previous opponent to take the same drug test as him to show they're both clean before a fight is irrelevant as long as they are both taking it.

If any fight have an safety concern he can ask for measure to ensure his safety, No one knows what pac or Mayweather takes so no-one should defend either man like they're married to them.Comment

Fair play is what everybody is afforded, not just Floyd. He's never asked for this before, so why now? He's never had a problem with the testing before, so why now?Comment

Lol, it's idiotic, so USADA is somehow not 'good enough' but NSAC is? So let's just question the validity of all the US gold medals won since USADA started testing US Olympians since apparently their protocols and procedures are somehow tainted.
Somebody please call Michael Phelps and all the other US Olympic medalists and tell them that Manny Pacquiao thinks you don't deserve your medals because USADA tested you, not the NSAC.
In fact, why doesn't Manny Pacquiao just request that the United States forfeit its 110 Olympic medals from the most recent Beijing games because apparently USADA isn't up to par in regards to testing.
This **** is getting comical.Comment
