      We only know Mosley has agreed to any and all additional drug testing Mayweather wishes to implement.

      Last news on the subject i've seen Floyd was in complete control of testing procedures which may mean he could scrap the idea altogether if he wanted.
      Mayweather has said in his promo interviews that it will be in place.

        I heard Mayweather say drug testing will be in place without specifying the format. but referring back to the last newspiece i seen on the subject floyd is also in complete control of any additional testing. Which may mean it may not be random at all....or random with extremely limited or limitless testing.

          It isn't a big deal. Just ask LeBron James, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Shawn Johnson, Cheng Fei, and a host of other Olympic gold medalist.

              much of the boxing world knows this whole olympic drug testing is nothiing but a mayweather scam. to prove this point:

              Joe Goosen, Legendary Boxing Trainer:

              "I just think Pacquiao is a juggernaut right now... and I would just say that maybe that's the reason (Floyd's) throwing up all these smokescreens and roadblocks because he (Floyd) doesn't wanna get in the ring with him (Pac)... (Floyd) should just say yes to the fight, forget all the testing, this guy's (Pac) not on drugs. There's a little air there in all this that's just not right."


              Al Bernstein, Showtime Boxing Analyst:

              “It seems patently obvious to me that Floyd and his minions killed the Pacquiao fight. The bottom line is that the fight was basically a done deal before they decided to inject the demands for blood testing into the picture. Pure and simple, Golden Boy and Floyd and his advisers created the problem, and it ended up killing the fight.”


              Dan Rafael from ESPN:

              "Mayweather shouldn't be making accusations without a shred of proof as he tries to discredit all of Pacquiao's great accomplishments, nor should he try to circumvent the Nevada rules by asking for blood tests when the commission has never asked for them."


              Larry Holmes, Heavyweight Champion:

              "I wish I could see Mayweather and Pacquiao fight, but what they're (Floyd's camp) doing right now is hurting boxing because people want to see the fight... They're trying to bring up stuff that is taking away from the fight with drug tests and accusations... I don't get it."


              Thomas Hauser, HBO.com:

              "There were times during the past month when the conduct of Team Mayweather had the look of an effort to sabotage the fight. A negotiator who wants to make a deal doesn’t go out of his way to antagonize and publicly embarrass the other side. But that’s what the Mayweathers and Golden Boy did."


              Jim Strickland, David Diaz's Trainer/retired licensed pharmacist:

              “I don’t see any reason of accusing Manny of using illegal drugs in our fight.”


              Timothy Bradley, WBO/WBC Jr. Welterweight Champion:

              "I don't think Manny is on anything. He's just on top of his game right now."


              James Toney, Multi division Champion:

              "Who is Mayweather to ask for the tests? Why didn’t he ask Marquez? Manny’s not on 'roids."


              Mike Silver, noted Boxing Historian:

              "I think it fell apart because basically Mayweather never wanted to fight Pacquiao. He wants to continue and fight guys he can beat and fool the public.


              Roy Jones, Jr.:

              "Hell naw. Why change the rules on me? Because I'm coming up in weight means I'm doing steroids? They're giving you a test for that anyway. It would be something that would aggravate me because then after I beat you, I was on something, don't play with me. Either you want to fight or you don't want to fight."

                Yes, because Olympic style blood testing, which thousands of the worlds top athletes have been subject to, is an insane proposition.

                Go on somewhere.

                  [SIZE="3"]People, people...

                  Let us not forget that Pac was willing to take blood tests up to a point and unlimited urine testing !

                  Wh didn't Floyd agree to the 24-day cutoff ??!

                  There is no official and consensus medical proof that shows there's a difference between a 24 day and a 14 day cutoff !

                  And what's the difference between blood taken a day before the fight vs. right after the fight ?!![/SIZE]

                      perhaps. but that was the most information on subject that's come out to date.

                      Fact is we dont know the format of the additional testing in place for mosley/mayweather or if it will even be olympic style or not.

                      We only know that Mosley has agreed to any and all additional testing Mayweather wishes to implement.
