They also do something about keeping a history of blood work so they can check for anomalies over time, and see if there is something su****ious, even if they're not sure what it is yet.
    agreed

    hope that fight takes place with no cutoffs since any other option means lot of doubt still. maybe they want to start with this 7 days offer for next negotiation to avoid shortselling but they better drop that sht cause its fckn dumb after pac said his 'everything' bullsht allover the place

    can't wait to see pac explain that one when hes asked why did you say everything and switch it to 7 days now uhhhhh.....

It goes to show the depths of the blind nuthugging that goes around here. Keep defending that racist woman beater that fights once a year. We keep celebrating a great humble, exciting champ that keeps fighting for his fans that is pacquiao.
      Manny said that he "agreed" to testing all the way up to the fight. Now, his advisor is contradicting him.

      Who do you believe in?

        Yes but the problem is some people jump to the bandwagon too easily and forgot they're just some John nobody working in a farm. There are tests right after the fight anyways. Why would pacroid roid up if he's going to be caught after the fight anyway? Wouldn't that be too embarrasing? And how much money is at stake? 40M then get caught?

        I heard this things could hurt someone. So boxing is a non-hurt sport?

          Your silly premise of WADA is irrelevant.

          WADA do not govern any boxing commissions and are not obligated to drug test any fights of any state.

            That's usually the case if the a$s do the talking.

              Idiot.
              Sorry, but the agency and organizations that actually use year round testing,

              disagree with you.

                Exactly.

                If PBF was so concerned with cleaning up the sport of boxing he would be campaigning for OST across the whole of boxing and not when the biggest challenge of his career poses a threat.

                Why did he not have Marquez tested?

                And as for Pac - you're right, why should he bow down to PBF? He is after all, fighter of the decade. He's arguably as big a PPV attraction. And it's also arguable that his legacy is more secure than Floyds!

                Anyway...

                  What a cop out.

                  Why did you demand evidence when Floyd Senior said that Manny was cheating?

                  I think I know why....

                    What you're saying doesn't make sense. It's my understanding there are drugs that are hard to test for a day after they're taken, and he wants a full week where he cannot be tested. Maybe he wants to use things to heal injuries, or give him an endurance boost on the day of the fight. I have no idea. I'm not an expert. There must be some reason that WADA thinks it's best to be able to test blood at any time, and they're the experts.

                    If Pac wouldn't cheat and risk embarrassment then why not just agree to the tests, especially with so much money at stake. All he has to do is agree to a test and collect $40 million, and he says no.

                    Yes, boxing is a hurting sport, but I still don't think that means guys should be abusing dangerous drugs or other performance enhancers. This stuff could ruin their personal lives, or cause long term health problems. On top of that there's just the issue of not playing fair in a sport where people are fighting.

                      what the *** are you talking about. No boxers get tested for blood or within a 7 day period before a fight so stop incriminating pac like what he is doing is terrible. He is taking more tests than 99.99% of boxers throughout the history of the sport, so why are you trying to paint him as a cheat.
