    Top Rank-Bob Arum/Freddie Roach quotes on the blood tests

    "If they give me a 5-day window or something like that I have no problem with it," Roach said. "When they've drawn blood from Manny in the past he feels weaker for three or four days. It may be mental, but it's there."

    hmmmmmmmmmmm 14days?, 3 or 4 days?.... I don't understand.

    "I spoke to Manny and I've been with him for many years, the guy is literally petrified of needles" - Mr Arum
    "Manny's not taking these drugs because it's a matter of principle not for any other reason", so which is it principal or phobia.
    “That was my biggest mistake, allowing any of this to happen. I should have said no. We’re not revisiting [blood testing]. We’re not negotiating with these punks anymore. If Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao down the road, he will have to go by the testing the state commission asks for. If not, life goes on,” Arum

    "Manny has a problem with the idea of being drug tested at random all the way upto fight night or few nights before fight night" Koncz, That problem seemed to have been fixed with the proposed 14-day offer right?????


    Floyd accepted 10million per pound penalty, he is now accepting a 2week cut-off to the blood testing, thats ALOT of concellations mayweather is making even though in his head and on paper(ppv number in common opponents) hes the bigger star, he just wants this fight bad because of mannys current position in world boxing as being unbeatable and because of the insane amount of money he would make in this fight, Manny or Bob Arum really should have accepted the 14-day cutoff I just honestly cannot understand why not

    “Yeah, we’ll do it but they have to do it as well. Manny fights clean. If they’ll do it, then we’ll do it,” Roach told Abac Cordero of The Philippine Star. “I don’t have any problem with that. But no blood tests close to the fight. They can take urine tests.”


    Mayweather came out and said I'M ON THE SAME REGIME, every single time they randomly test Manny they must also randomely test me

        PACQUIAO is ON PED'S WHICH IS WHY HE WANTS THE 24 DAY CUTOFF. EVEN 14 DAYS IS TOO MUCH! AND THE TESTS MUST BE RANDOM!

        PACQUIAO IS A BIG SCAM. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED.

            Dr. Don H. Catlin, the head of the Los Angeles-based non-profit Anti-Doping Research, Inc., said a 24-day cutoff for blood testing is not sufficient to prevent abuse. One of the concerns with such a long blood-testing cutoff prior to the date of competition would be the potential use of Erythropoietin, or EPO.

            But Catlin said that wouldn’t be the only concern if there were a 24-day cutoff imposed.

            “If you have a 24-day window that’s free, with no testing, you can take whatever you want and you’re not going to get caught, end of story,” Catlin said. “[Urine testing] does matter, yes, but they’re not going to catch everything by urine testing alone. What you would do is to take Mircera [a type of EPO], which is available and which is not easy to detect in urine and away you go. You need a blood test.”


            "It is true, we did receive a 14-day cut-off offer, I offered it to Manny and he simply replied 'no'" - Bob Arum

                  It's possible Roach didn't know Pac was juicing (Only Ariza). But has now found out.
