    tyson did not demand a ost blood testing nor did holyfield take one so this comparison is lame. stop acting like pac did not agree to any kind of blood testing at all.

      What's crazy is that...there was no steroid testing then. NONE. Where was the precedence?? But two guys realized they could put it in their contracts. It took commissions nearly TEN years to wake up and do testing. But here we are today, saying their shouldn't be more advanced testing because no one else does it.

        whatever.

        so how about random testing except for the week of the fight?

        that's not enough either right?

                14 day cut off was good but Team Pacquiao refused it. That was more than a week. That was 2 weeks that Team Mayweather was offering.

                  it's random for the 1st 7 weeks.

                  he doesn't know when it'll be right?

                  it's just the last week there'll be no blood tests but one after the fight.

                    It doesn't matter what type of tests they were, it was 1996. Tyson was asking for extra steroid tests that were not conducted by NSAC and were advanced for that time. He was "making his own rules". Holyfield is the man for accepting these extra tests.

                      pac should have taken that one.

                      floyd should have taken the latest one too.


                      primadonnas.

                      it would have been nice if mosley could have beat floyd and then marg beat pac.

                      i would have laughed at both of them for losing out on so much money.
