I'm worried about Bradley's health because they decided not to do RDT.

Why would they be? Is Manny scared to get jobbed again?

You think Arum is going to let Pac run off to that Mayweather payday after getting a win against his 2nd in command? Arum will let him leave only with a fresh loss on his record so that if Mayweather chooses to fight him, he'll have to either fight him coming off of a loss or build him up again first.

Why should he? Getting the commission to use similar protocols is the end goal. That's what boxing should be striving for, and not these private contracts with the test agencies which would be comedy in any other sport.

I'm fully aware of what's going on. That was just a tip not to post links to that yahoo contributor network, which is much like bleacherreport or whatever

Your right about the highlighted..Yet Pac and Bradley did both just use VADA..I see nothing wrong with them doing it again..Not to mention Bradley still using VADA while Pac has choose not to is just not a good look imo..If Arum and Commission wanna make some changes in the sport I'm all for it..This is a big fight in which both fighters just used a agency that busted a fighter,not to mention a few others..I think you stay with them and work in the commission new testing slowly..Are at least have both fighters tested by both agency's..

Sometimes I wish Pacquiao would have bigger balls against Arum. But that's like saying Santa Claus and the tooth fairy is real. It's annoying that Pacquiao underwent VADA testing in China and now is letting the commission doing the testing themselves (which don't know what the hell they're doing). Pacquiao said that he had no problem with VADA testing last time. Arum says that the NSAC testing is going to cost $35,000 or something but VADA costs $25,000. If Pacquiao looks amazing this time out, it is definitely su****ious. I wish Roach would have said something being that Ruslan is with VADA and he recommended VADA to GSP.

Bradley's last opponent JMM was randomly tested by NSAC and Bradley ended up having no issues with it, after the fact. That he choose to use VADA in addition is cool, but redundant and kinda silly. In legit sports nobody undergoes 2 testing regimes, one official and one privately contracted.

Wasn't Bradley really upset about it actually? :/
