    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.
    No, he would. Along with his non-random request, Pacquiao also wanted a cap on the number of blood tests. Like...three of them and also specified when. So how is it random?

        Yup. I honestly just wanted to see what Tyson fans who are also Pacquiao fans would say. Especially the one's that frown upon what Mayweather did.

            Of course it ****in matters.
            If Mayweather asked for the same tests Tyson demanded, the fight would have been done by now.
            Mayweather was too busy on vacation to have any sort of negotiation.

                LOL you do realize that this was 1996 and we're in 2010 right? There was no steroid testing at all.

                The former president of the NSAC has admitted that urine tests are useless in today's steroid market. BPP posted the news himself so if you want a link just search for it.

                  i don't know.

                  i stopped paying attention about the drug tests stuff after the arum countdown.

                  i've heard random throughout and random except none the last week with 1 after the fight.

                  don't know which is true. stories are all over the place as always.

                    You Know what? I really dont care. All i care about is how any top sportman can refuse drug testing in 2010. That is a sign of guilt to me..

                      holyfield has no choice, his motivation for taking the fight is to get more money. tyson owned him in the negotiating table. floyd doesn't have that kind of leverage over pac. and besides pac has eventually relented to floyd's demand, he more than meet him in the middle what else floyd could ask for to make the fight? you just have to pull yourself out of what happened in the past negotiation to realize that blood testing is no longer a big issue. it's all up to floyd now.
