    The scene was staged, those USADA guys were actors.

    Yes it was announced that there would be blood testing, but the fight is 7 days from now and they havent been tested yet, as i've seen in 24/7...I dont buy it that they're testing but not showing it on 24/7...

    24/7 is the best platform to let people know of his campaign to clean up boxing through the implementation of osdt through and through.

    just some months ago he was loud and clear on this, that he wants to clean up sports. floyd should have a say on this if hbo is not showing or highlighting it. we'll see.

    you said this...

    it looks like you've said every top athlete in the sport which is singular. it's like floyd saying i want to clean the sport that we loves meaning he is out to clean boxing itself.

    i don't doubt that there is but since floyd is cleaning the sport up as his new advocacy, it would be much better if HBO shows it for all the clean boxers like floyd who wants nothing but an even playing field.

    You have to realize that your personal bias is fueling your opinion here. Mayweather does not have control over the editing of the show. Furthermore, USADA may have requested that they not be filmed anymore. This is really a non issue unless you truly believe that they're not being tested.

    You wouldn't know....if you did your research you would know. NSAC doesn't recommend testing two weeks prior to the fight because it could cause an arm infection which could scrap the fight. Urine is ok but nothing with the injection to the arm.

    so you think floyd is really not that serious in his remarks that he is out to clean the sport? 24/7 is a platform to let people know that he is serious with his remarks. even a short 4 to 5 seconds clip of both floyd and ortiz is sufficient enough for people to see his agenda of cleaning boxing. but i guess, floyd would rather complain that victor's childhood is getting more coverage.

    well i guess next week would be the final chance. if no, i'm afraid that we would only see papers from USADA itself. but it would be a good chance to use 24/7 to let floyd tell the world that he is really serious with it.

    Whether or not them being shown tested on the show has zero to do with how serious Mayweather is about the issue. Mayweather showed himself giving food to the homeless on the show before and people still doubted his sincerity. They showed the fighters being tested on the last one and people still doubt Floyd's sincerity on the issue. So it's obvious that people aren't going to assume he's serious about the issue just because it's on the show. And again, Mayweather does not control what gets shown.
