FREDDIE ROACH: "HOW ABOUT WE DRUG TEST FLOYD EVERY MONTH"
By Felix Strunk | March 13, 2012

According to Hall-of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach, undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather should practice what he preaches when it comes to Olympic-style drug testing. "If he wants to drug test, that's fine, but how about we drug test Floyd every month? He preaches Olympic-style drug testing, but he isn't being tested when he isn't in training camp," Roach explained during a recent interview, suggesting that the random blood and urine testing conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency whenever Mayweather fights is not really Olympic-style testing due to the fact that it does not take place year-round. "Nobody is testing him while he isn't training because he is off the radar. He needs to practice all of that stuff he preaches."

It's a fact that certain reporters have also made it a point to harp on, questioning the effectiveness of the testing if it's only conducted during a certain timeframe. While Roach may have a point about the random testing only taking place during the 10 or so weeks leading up to the bout, there's no denying that it's a much more stringent testing policy than what's currently in place with the state athletic commissions. Plus, the fact that it's being conducted by the same organization (USADA) responsible for testing Olympic athletes makes it just about as close to Olympic-style testing as you can get. "Floyd Mayweather brought the random blood and urine Olympic-style drug testing to the sport of professional boxing, which is a great thing, especially when you got two of the best fighters, you know, of this era competing at this top level, you should have the best testing so both fighters can be on an even playing field," Mayweather would comment during a press conference to promote the bout. This will be Mayweather's third fight in a row being subjected to USADA's testing procedures, spanning a two-year timeframe.

Although this will be the first time that Miguel Cotto will be participating in the same type of testing, he's no stranger to the procedures and welcomes the opportunity, echoing the sentiments of Mayweather. "If sports is something about skills, conditioning, preparation, and you have to be clear, you know? In all sports, you have to be clear and if you can contribute for making the sport better or more clear, I'm not mad with that. I agree with that because I'm a sportsman and all I want is a clear, more clear sport that people can trust. People can sit in their homes and watch real fighters who isn't using anything to have an advantage," he remarked, expressing his willingness to participate in hopes of bringing about change to the sport. "It's the same system I used for the Olympics in 2000. It's a simple pinch. Four, six, eight times during the camp. It isn't going to be bigger than a spoon of blood. It isn't going to take anything out from me."

All this talk about drug testing from Roach, and I've still yet to see Pacquaio take one god damn test.

he doesn't have to. that's what u guys don't get. i know you would cross a 10 lane highway blindfolded for a chance to sit on floyds lap but to most people hes nobody. he dont make the rules kid. hard 2 believe right?

Really dude. This is what you think I'm saying.

I'm saying its manny's fault he turned down a very fair deal in dec 2009. Since he turned that deal down, to expect to get the same deal 30 months later is ridiculous.

Once again....what deal did he turn down? Both sides couldnt agree on a cutoff date therefore they both moved on. Its not as if Pac flat out refused to test. The money split wasnt an issue in 09. The testing cutoff date was.

I'm explaining to u what u asked me! if Marquez and cotto went and fought someone else and won all their fights then comes back and try to work out a deal with PAC then yes whatever money split they agreed on before should still be the same this is basing off if they won all their fights since turning down pac's offer. now I asked u again have PAC lost since the deal breaker between floyd? Again PAC went and did everything just as good if not PAC was able to rack in more money so how is Floyd demanind for more makes any sense? This is the second time I'm asking u this with no answer.

wins and losses have nothing to do with revenue generation. Yes manny's position has improved, but so has floyd's. you keep forgetting this. so manny not losing doesn't change the fact floyd is still the bigger revenue generator. But that is off the subject.

Manny turned down a great offer in dec 2009 in the hopes a better one would come. He made a mistake. The better offer never came. Now in 2012 he wants that deal again because it's fair. If its fair now it was fair then.

Manny isn't so special that he should get another chance at the same deal. If you feel he is so be it. Its manny's fault he turned down a fair deal. You think its floyd's fault for not offering it again.

Test them all! Pretty sure Floyd would say ok not so sure about Pac. After all he was the one saying no with tons of excuses but whatever this is old and recycled from others already saying this like a year ago. Why bring it up now?

Noticed that Roach says something about Pac v Bradley and no one cares but he mentions Floyd and over 200 posts. This has more posts than Pac sticky for his fight. Does Roach now hes fighting?

[The Big Dunn]

Once again....what deal did he turn down? Both sides couldnt agree on a cutoff date therefore they both moved on. Its not as if Pac flat out refused to test. The money split wasnt an issue in 09. The testing cutoff date was.

what I bolded is your way of deflecting responsibility from manny. He rejected the deal and flat out refused testing. If you are not man enough to admit it fine with me.

He changed his mind months later and said ok. Well guess what, too ****ing late and too ****ing bad. If it was a fair deal in dec 09 its a fair deal now. It was on the table then, its not on the table now. thats the difference.

if the deal is ever on the table again in the future , I suggest manny take it and not procrastinate.

So if they BOTH have improved then why does Floyd deesevre more then? U still haven't even answer why floyd deserve more they both bring in similar amount? And PAC didn't turn Floyd's offer down BOTH PAC and Floyd cojldnt come to an agreement on the cut off. Did PAC flat out refuse ost? U keep saying PAC then down floyds offer only the offer from floyd counts? The offer from team PAC doesn't count? So using ur logic if PAC turn down Floyd's offer that means floyd also turn down pac's offer. The way u think Floyd is king everyone have to go by Floyd's offer?? lol!!

[Calabis]

I really don't think anyone from Pacquaio's camp has a leg to stand on in terms of demanding drug tests.

Considering they refused to agree to better testing for multiple years.

Can't believe this was posted and people are still at it....this post says it all

[PACsmash]

Another thing u stand by this no 50/50 but before floyd mention it I didn't see any of this from u? So if u really feel that Floyd deserve more how come u never made that clear from the start until Floyd came out and said it? Before it was if manny is clean then take the test, yes or no?

the great floyd apologist in action.

so what fair deal should pac have gotten today? you claimed the 40mil-noppv-share offer by floyd wasn't fair and pac rightfully declined.

but wait, pac made a counter offer. 50mil and blahblah, i forgot the details. and also sent koncz to offer 45-45 with the 10% to the winner when the first offer got turned down. thats what i called wanting the fight and negotiating a reasonable realistic offer.

what did floyd do? nothing. did he make a counter offer that's reasonable, at least to you flomos? none. he just said no one gets 50-50. but did he offer any details, to make it even seem he wanted the fight? NO.

Who cares! I was all for 50/50 till Pac lost...i mean "won" against JMM but this is about Roach all of the sudden being for OST. This is no longer a 50/50 fight because of that (cough) win (cough)
