    You're moving the goalpost. I thought you said he accepted an 18-day cutoff. Do you now admit to being an uninformed buffoon?

      That means you have changed your mind and understand that this wasn't the case.

      Your thread has been resolved. Make another one for your new b*tchy complaint
      ??? He never accepted a 14-day cutoff for Pacquaio, but accepted an 18-day cutoff for Mosley.

        Initially, Bob Arum told news sources of Floyd's last blood test in effort to sway public opinion toward Pacquiao's compromise of coming down to a 14 day cutoff. Strategically, this was a smart move. Mr. Iole was able to confirm specific drug testing dates with USADA's Travis Tygart and I was able to obtain a copy of the 'drug test summary' from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Everything pointed to April 13th as being Floyd's last blood test prior to the fight.

        Now that we are all up to speed, these details all lead to one thing: "Will Floyd Mayweather Jr accept the 14 day cutoff that Manny proposes?"

        As of right now, nobody from Team Mayweather is talking. Obviously, this is a rarity since many were calling for them to be silenced for the last 7 months. It's ironic, now that the public wants to hear what they have to say about the 14 day cutoff, they remain silent.

        I do commend Floyd Mayweather Jr and Shane Mosley for participating in this historical drug testing venture but the big problem I have here is the fact that there were 18 days of no blood testing leading up to the fight. The USADA, Golden Boy Promotions, and everyone else involved told us until they were blue in the face about how important this style of drug testing is. In fact, they held a press conference all about the drug testing some 2 months prior to fight day.

        I understand the concept of 'random', however, why didn't they 'randomly' test the fighters during the last 2 weeks leading up to the fight. In fact, everyone involved in this process should have privately or publicly insisted upon it. This drug testing was the central focus of the fight between Mayweather and Mosley. This drug testing is what destroyed the first round of negotiations between Manny and Floyd.
        You really don't understand the meaning of random; it shows very clearly, yet continue I can use the entertainment...

              We hear for months from Team Mayweather how Manny should submit to the random testing and that he's scared or hiding something because he won't. But, now we come to find out that this magnificent style of drug testing that is supposed to 'save' Boxing, was flawed in its first run.

                Is this 18 day cut off for Mosley really true?

                  Exactly, why is something that was resolved years ago being brought up. It is quite clear, in the time that has followed, that mayweather just didn't want to fight Pacquiao cos he didn't want to get hurt, which he admitted to a room full of journalists, his tirade was even filmed.

                  HOW IS IT IN ANY DOUBT WHY THE FIGHT HASN'T HAPPENED?

                    When did he know he wouldn't be tested for 18 days?

                    Oh I get it, on the day of the fight as he was in the dressing room he should've turned around and went home.

                      Almost five years and Pacquiao fans still can't understand what the word random means.
