    Mayweather's promoter Richard Schaefer said a Pacquiao promoter told him the Filipino superstar would not agree to a blood test within 30 days of the bout because of his superstition against testing.

    Pacquiao and Mayweather have previously submitted, and passed, urine tests for performance-enhancing and illegal drugs supervised by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

    Travis Tygart, chief executive of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, said a blood test can allow testers to detect use of energy-boosting synthetic EPO, human growth hormone and "a number of potent performance-enhancers not detectable in urine. . . . With a [30-day] window like that, you could dope to the gills and get away with it.

    Tygart noted Olympic athletes are tested often and without notice. He said less than a teaspoon of blood is removed out of an average of 380 teaspoons in the normal human and that it regenerates within an hour of being withdrawn.

    Blood tests, he said, can find things urine tests can't, like the use of human growth hormone, synthetic hemoglobin or blood transfusions, all of which "certainly would aid in an endurance-type event."

    "Well the sanctioning bodies and the state commissions run the boxing world, not Floyd Mayweather. Who is this guy to tell us that we have to have blood tests, or urine tests, or any tests? He's just looking for a way out of the fight. He is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked. We don't work for Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules?" -roach

    For $25m Pac PBF will happen. I dont care about the PR spin and hoopla in between. When you stand to make that kind of money people will do almost anything.

    didn't ellerbe say it would be easy fight for floyd? so they are going to duck the fight over the timing of a blood test?

    we got the biggest fraud in boxing history. no wonder boxing is going down the drain in the US.

    The whole Pac-doping fiasco is senseless trial by publicity. And idiots (as always), would stoop that low surrendering commonsense and the legal principle of innocent-unless-proven-otherwise in order to defend their posterboy. Boxing's might as well be Russian roulette.

    We're approaching 2010 and boxing is still in the Middle age of drug testing. There should be the same tests than in cycling or athletism. No one should have to ask another boxer to make a test before their fight. I put the blame on the boxing organizations.

    "I have no problem with the testing whatsoever,..They can do whatever kind of drug testing they want. They're scared of Manny and scared of his power. He'll pass any test in the world."

    -Freddy Roach

    I guess Roach made this statement before he talked to Ariza and found out the tests would interfere with Pacquiao's "supplement' regiment.

    You will attract *******s on this thread trust me

    like i said in my other post on another thread:

    Im not accusing anybody but i'd hardly call it ducking on Mayweathers part like some people are because Pac wont agree to a little drugs test

    Pac came up with the penalty clause for over weight fearing PBF would cheat, now PBF then says ok but i want you drugs tested 2 days? before and then after the fight in fear of Pac cheating, Pac says no, i'd say if yove got nothing to hide then why not just do a test?

    Im scared of needles/blood-tests but if my reputation as an athlete and the chance to make boxing history (not to mention $25 million min) was on the line hell id just man up and do the ****ing thing
