    Why are PACQUIAO fans, industry, content PAC ditched 2010 Drug Testing?

    Pac diehards, or casuals, still don’t understand advanced drug testing in the sport. A decade of implementation while PAC was on ESPN with Brian Kenny saying that even 15 days random blood and urine “inhibits training.”

    No boxer, industry professional, today, says this stuff. If Top Rank really thought drug testing WAS A PROBLEM they would’ve played the narrative that they wanted more PPV upside or guarantee to stir attention away from blood and urine. Truth is Top Rank was doing his thing in-house...

    Instead, Arum had no idea and was naive that the sport wouldn’t change its drug testing protocols in 2011. Arum would continue saying that “nobody wants to watch a boring fighter, a defensive fighter.” All when Floyd was proven PPV.

    This is how we know drug testing was true reason behind it all.

      Why did Floyd wait so long to announce fights, wasn’t the pacquiao fight announced 6 weeks before the date, about the same amount of time as a couple of other fights he had, not much time for testing, sooty, 8 and a bit weeks, still a very short time for a mega fight buildup

        Do you know how open ended that comment is, why was anything done for the first time, when did a great idea come .

        What Im saying is Floyd may have been thinking about it for a long time but never had the drawing power to push boxing towards PED free environment, change happens when it happens it doesnt have to have a sinister plan just the ideas coming to mind and the influence to make changes.

          The drug testing for may-pac was useless anyway, there was a clause in the contract basically making it null and void, it was all a joke

                inhibits training doe!! It's crazy that ESPN actually had to ask Pacquiao PRE FIGHT OLYMPIC TESTING and asking him ''well how about 15 days?''

                It goes to show that the commissions weren't doing Olympic style, which meant elite level sport testing... not that they would since it would be expensive to the common boxer...yet, this is Pac vs Floyd we were talking about. Such an expense meant nothing when both fighters would earn multi millions..

                  You obviously haven’t read the contract, so again you show your ignorance, you really don’t have any idea about anything boxing related, maybe chess would be your game

                    Olympic testing? Really, not even remotely close to Olympic testing
