    Pacquiao was the only fighter he accused of steroids, after Floyd's 41 fights, only Pacquiao was accused of steroids, even before Mayweather's accusation, no one accused Pacquiao of taking PEDs, and excluding Mayweather and his camp, no other CREDIBLE source has accused Pacquiao of steroids and no one, not even Mayweather stood by their accusations. Manny hasnt tested positive for anything ever and he wasn't even known to be associated with drug dealers, or users, unlike Floyd.

    In fact if we examine it further, two of the reasons Floyd wants RBT to be done in all of his fights is for 1. To have an even playing field, and 2. To clean up the sport. But, how could it be an even playing field if Floyd was the one using PED's. And how can he claim to clean up the sport? What measures did he take, did he speak to drug organizations, did he approach sports commissions, did he convince lawmakers to change testing procedures for PEDs in boxing? None. Hence, what can be the reason for asking for RBT? It is carefully constructed ploy to avoid Pacquiao.

    Floyd always says; "Just take the test". Yet when Pacquiao agreed to testing up to 14 days before the fight. We think that the fight would go on? No, Floyd insisted testing the day up to the fight. However, in floyd's fight vs mosley, the cut off for RBT was 18 days before fight, way before Manny's agreed upon up to 14 days. Then why his 18 day cut off with Mosley acceptable but Pacquiao's 14 day cut off not acceptable? Strange isn't it.

    Pac never agreed to test beyond 24 days before the fight in the first negotiations.

    Mosley and Ortiz had no cutoff.

    I don't give ANY of your post credit because your information is wrong.

    USADA posts test statistics on a quarterly basis, by sport and by athlete, as soon as possible following the completion of each calendar quarter.

    In response to a high volume of interest in the testing statistics for the professional boxing event held on September 17, 2011 between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Victor Ortiz, the following is a summary of program information:
    Both Mayweather and Ortiz were tested a total of ten times by USADA between July 17, 2011 and September 17, 2011, with nine of the sample collections occurring with no advance notice leading up to the fight, and the tenth occurring immediately following the fight. All ten of each athlete's USADA sample collections included urine, and five of these collections for each fighter also included blood testing.

    Collections were conducted using a balanced test distribution schedule, and with no allowances for black-out or cut-off dates.

    For general questions regarding USADA's anti-doping program, please visit the FAQs in the Resources section of this site. (Other policy and education publications and videos are also available in this section). You may also contact the USADA communications department at 719-785-2046 or 719-785-2047.

    Why not Pacquiao? Pacquiao had to do his catchweight penalty with Oscar delahoya for no reason whatsoever, only to avoid weight cheating.

    Why can't Floyd do this to avoid steroid cheating?

    The only problem is that Pacquiao ran and made excuses and killed the fight. :patsch

    Why did Floyd accuse Pac of Steroids:

    Pac started where?

    And he was able to move up to what division and in what time-frame?

    And how did his body look as well as his physical abilities as he moved up in such a time frame?

    What was he doing to the competition...especially the fighters Floyd fought?

    What has he done that no other fighter has done in history?


    So again, what was Floyd looking at?



    Note: I'm looking at this from Floyd's angle.

    dude im not a ******* and u know it. i just question the motives of a fighter that is all. people calling me a ******* too funny. ive been on the other side of the fence before. im just not buying floyds shite any more. that drug test thing has really pissed me off :twisted: he knew pac would never go for it. i think floyd is using it to avoid the fight. plus, he prices himself out after pac agreed to the testing. y did he price himself out? it makes no sense.

    Honestly too. We wouldn't even be HAVING this conversation if Pac just agreed and didn't take 2 years to do it.

    Floyd, Mosley, Cotto and Ortiz all did it no problem, and we found out who won and who lost, and moved on. Yet we have a boxing fan civil war going on between Floyd and Pac just because Pac said no and it's bull****.

    Why would he think Pac wouldn't go for it ?
    It's just a little extra testing.

    Other fighters have agreed to it. Why wouldn't Pac???

    Pricing changed years later as his price value went up with how much he made later on compared to what he used to make. He is looking at the numbers. Now if they are fair or not...I don't know. I was for the 3rd party to come in and look at both sides in order to get this straightened out.

    Why would Pac take orders from Floyd?
    He is not the sports commision or even an official of a drug organization.
