But if you’re thinking that concession will lead to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao on Nov. 13, slow down. There is a big difference between what Pacquiao told Giongco he’d agree to and what Mayweather and Mosley did, said Travis Tygart, the chief executive officer of USADA.
“That totally misses the point,” Tygart said of the reaction some may have upon hearing of Pacquiao’s concession and the timing of Mayweather’s last blood test. “If you know you aren’t going to be tested within the last 14 days, you can cheat and get away with it. It is our right to test at any time, 30 days before the fight, 20 days before, the week of, the morning of – that provides the deterrent. If you block out a period of time and say we can’t test during that period, then an athlete could cheat and get away with it.”
Tygart has a point but then why would they stop blood testing at 18 days before the fight.
This is also from the same link that you posted that Kevin Iole report on Yahoo.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency confirmed Friday that the final blood sample taken from Shane Mosley was April 12 and the final one taken from Floyd Mayweather was April 13 as part of their agreement to undergo random, Olympic-style testing prior to their May 1 welterweight boxing match in Las Vegas.
It seems from Iole's story that there is an agreement to have a cut off day for blood testing. Why would Tygart say they basically can test you anytime, even the day/week of the fight if there was an agreement?
Is Iole misrepresenting the USADA on this one or is it a fact on that agreement. Afterall, his unbiased compare to our forum's favorite writer, Ronnie N.
And about Ronnie N, i am not fan of him and don't like him(can't hate the guy cuz i don't know personally). I read his story but did not believe him but other boxing media started reporting it too.
Its the same fuss that Manny wanted a 10 million penalty if Floyd was overweight by a lb but nobody see's or says anything about that oh I forgot Floyd agreed to it. I can use if Manny will KO Floyd it shouldn't matter if Floyd is overweight right. Like I've said many times today when Manny had the leverage in negoaitions he took his ball and ran. Now the tables are flipped and its funny he's agreeing to something that was on the table last year sorta Bob Arum thinks the purse should be 50/50 because they agreed to that the last time. When you get doubled in PPV sales and live gate 50/50 goes out the window. This is a whole new ballgame things have changed if they wanted 14 days cut off and 50-50 they should have agreed to it in December. the mismatch yeah 5 inch reach adavantage better ring generalship superb counterpuncher and great defense sounds like krypotnite to Mannys style if I ever seen so try again.
If he's overweight, he still fights Floyd and you know it. The penalty is strictly is making a statement based on his actions in the JMM fight.
You think Floyd is the draw and only the draw, i guess Manny has nothing to do with it right? Lemme guess, you gonna compare the PPV of recent right? Let's be real here, who else is floyd going to fight that will draw anything more than 1mill in PPV?
This shoots to hell all the crap that was posted on this site yesterday after Arum made that comment. They may have stopped taking blood 18 days before, but that was only because they chose to stop. They could have taken it up to the day of the fight, which is exactly what will be the terms if Pacquaio wants to fight Mayweather.
Yes they chose to stop because floyd tell them so, if it was pacquiao, floyd will tell them that the testing will be up to the fight. Why did floyd hired them if floyd wouldn't benefit for it?
Floyd is a known cheater and always want to take an advantage to his every opponent before they start to fight in the ring. And that's a fact.
So why all the fuss? Please explain it to me cause i'm dying to know. You scream how easy it is and how one sided it will be, then why all the fuss about anything other than fighting? Don't throw the standard excuse of the even playing field line, or the other standard line that i'm not a real Boxing fan and don't understand what Floyd is trying to do.
Because a "REAL" Boxing fan wants to see a F'n fight.
Still, why all the fuss?
BOY and LEONARD know that Boy can't DEAL
with Pac's SPEED and POWER, so they must
CONTINUE to PUNK OUT!!!
