Mayweather-Pacquiao in Jeopardy Over Drug Test - Merged Thread:

[dom329]

Catchweights have been around for over 100 years, at the very least. No, it's not changing the rules. Man, stop acting dumb. And FFS, nobody was forced to be drained. Where the hell do you get your information from?

Hopkins had more catchweight fights than Pacquiao. Go post some garbage about him instead.

Well in order to have a catchweight it must be added into the contract. So how else would you put in a clause to have olympic style drug testing. So manny also as you point out will not be "forced" to sign the contract and take the tests. I think it would be good to do it throughout the sport. Have fun with that one. I'm just talking about double standards. I like manny but all this is part of negotiations and both sides do it. So don't take it all out on one side.

The blood test is not the problem, the time Mayweather's camp wants it taken is the problem. Manny's camp agreed for the test to be taken right before the press conference and right after the fight. I don't see any problem with that. Mayweather's camp is spinning it as if Manny doesn't want any blood test at all.

But i still dont see the problem with taking it anytime, if you can demand something outrageous as 10 mil per pound to ensure he doesnt cheat, why not accept something outrageous (due to pacs superstiton) as taking a blood test...im trying to understand but i cant

[Cash Cow]

before the fight?

Mayweather is going to take the same test

[FLY TY]

I must say this looks Mayweather look just as bad because if he really thinks pacman is on roids means he is worried. Hes obviously does not sound to sure of himself in this fight.

ummm, mayweather SENIOR, and others have said manny's on something.

floyd JUNIOR has never mentioned anything to that point. in fact, he's been really quiet, except when he said manny's 1 dimensional, and would be easy work. doesn't sound like he's worried. in fact, didn't he just say a few days ago, "nobody can beat me."

keep spinning this ****.....

[pugil1st]

why dont you practice what you preach dum dumb...lol

Alright now I see. Your just a child posting on a big boy forum. My bad junior. I didn't pick it up at first.

[rommel357]

i think mayweather has already agreed to all the stipulations presented to him....it's your boy holding up the negotiations. he's not agreeing to terms, to me that's the same as "PULLING OUT."

keep spinning.

by the way, the press conference is 2 months before the fight....he can cycle in some ****, start cycling it out a few weeks before the fight, then by the time the fight's over, and his ass is whooped, he'll be clean.

if dude has nothing to hide, there shouldn't be a problem with providing "random" blood samples....i don't care how you keep spinning it.

You're still avoiding facts. If they agreed to a USDA Olympic drug testing, then that particular test does not require a "multiple random blood test". So who's not agreeing to the terms. They agreed to a blood test before the press conference and after the fight. That should be sufficient.

As of January 1, 2009, please be aware of the following changes not currently reflected in the video links on the following pages.

1. Athletes will need to provide at least 90mLs of urine.
2. Prior to providing the sample, the athlete must rinse his/her hands with water only.
3. After the sample has been collected, urine will first be poured into the B bottle and the remaining urine will be poured into the A bottle.
4. pH will no longer be measured.
5. Athletes will be required to provide whereabouts information and updates on a Whereabouts Filing rather than providing information on an Athlete Location Form.
6. Athletes will be asked to declare blood transfusions within the last six (6) months, medications and/or other substances taken in the last three (3) days (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, proteins, amino acids and other dietary supplements); Local injection(s) of glucocorticosteroids in the last two (2) months; Use of inhaler(s) in last three (3) days; and/or current The****utic Use Exemption(s).

According the Yahoo article someone posted on another thread, Pacquiao has submitted his blood to the NSAC 2-4 weeks before the Ricky Hatton fight.

What's the problem with doing the same for Mayweather? The only problem he might have is if he has something to hide.

[dom329]

it's a fact, that for the dlh fight at least, there was a rehydration cap at 147....sorry.



maybe they could, in 6 WEEKS!!!

Thanks for helping clear that up.

[baracuda]

Mayweather is going to take the same test

well, hes the one demanding that **** so he better......its not like he has a choice ....lol

[rommel357]

But we aren't talk about what Roach said before, we are talking about the reasons being given right now to get the fight signed.



Why would "within 30 days" before the fight be a problem? You can take it a month before the fight? And Floyd will be doing it also.. whats the problem?

Okay, so what's the problem with sticking to the original agreement of USDA Olympic drug test. That's even worst because they only require this...

Athletes will be asked to declare blood transfusions within the last six (6) months, medications and/or other substances taken in the last three (3) days (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, proteins, amino acids and other dietary supplements); Local injection(s) of glucocorticosteroids in the last two (2) months; Use of inhaler(s) in last three (3) days; and/or current The****utic Use Exemption(s).
