Why did Mayweather accept an 18 day cutoff date for Mosley?

[MR. SIXTY40]

Mayweather got 19 days cut off in that fight.

Speaking of the Maidana vs Mayweather, can anyone please ask Maidana or anybody in his team if they're conducting tests in this fight, via twitter, facebook, email, anything? If so, how was it done? How many blood tests has USADA taken and what dates, etc. This should not even be kept secret considering it involves a guy who claims to be the MLK of clean sport.

I don't think it's being kept secret, it's just routine at this point so it's a non-story. When USADA testing was first introduced for Floyd fights 4 years ago, it was a focal point because it was something new. Now that it's not new, it's just a drug test. I think they post results on their website though iirc.

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

You almost have to assume that they're trolling because they can't really be this ****in ******

LOL I just asked myself that. Like, is he ****ing ******ed or is this a joke thread?

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.

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.

Son,...

They tested twice after the final blood test.. Regarding your first paragraph.. If everyone were to question or insist then wouldn't that raise eyebrows as to why the other camp knew when their opponent was being tested? Random testing still happened whether you wanna click the link or not.


Flawed? I mean why debate when you choose to ignore simple steps as to researching things such as results for such and such fight?

Is this 18 day cut off for Mosley really true?

No. 18 days out happened to be the last test both fighters had prior to the bout. Under the terms of the contract they could have been tested at anytime afternthat, closer to the fight. Neither fight knew when the last test would happen, hence the nature of random testing. You agree that it could happen at any point WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (for the TS who seems to be playing the fool or really, genuinely slow).

Top Rank refused to agreento random testing up until 14 days out. Pacquiao admitted this in interview, Roach admitted it and the mediator confirmed prior to this. What more is there to say on the subject. Mayweather didn't agree to an 18 day cut off against Mosley (just read it). Mosley agreed to what Pacquiao wouldn't.

I call Poe's Law on this idiot and most Pacquiao fanatics in general.

my god *******s are dumb as hell......

[Larry the boss]

??? He never accepted a 14-day cutoff for Pacquaio, but accepted an 18-day cutoff for Mosley.

There was no cut-off whatsoever. But there was an 18-day lapse though for a BLOOD test. But there was NO CUT OFF. There was just a couple consecutive urine tests which didn't include blood. Then there was a final urine and blood test immediately after the fight. So again, no cut-off.

And yes, with Mayweather vs. Maidana, there is random drug testing through USADA as usual. I believe Ellie Sechback confirmed this as well and has footage of Maidana signing USADA paperwork.

Hehe.
