Is this the drop of blood you are referring to?

    Ive did 22 of those vials at one time .. didnt feel too great but 4/5 vials has no effect usually, unless there still taking tests nearer the fight say within 2 weeks when calories have been lowered, training intensified then might effect their training sessions that day but depends on individual.

    Pac always has excuses after he loses.The gloves, sox blood he's full of ****. Taking a small amount of blood doesn't weaken you especially if you have 14 days until the fight to replenish it.:deal

    Yea, funny, let them do it. Mayweather is making 40 million for this fight and Pac made, what, 12 off Clottey? Plus, how much of the 12 went to Arum, Golden Boy, etc?

    Pac loses.:deal

    The argument was the proximity to the fight, not the tests themselves. Explain why 14 days is not enough to recover from blood testing.

    It's not about money. It's a matter of principle. Why only now? Why single Pac out? Floyd should appeal to the commission to change their protocol.
    Floyd is not the commission.

    Pac will collect more than $40M from his law suits against Floyd etal. :deal

    Seriously, why is it so hard to understand?

    Taking a test 14 days before the date won't necessarily have a direct impact on the night of the fight, no. But, it will effect Pac's mentality during that important final week of training (14-7 days before fight night). Which ultimately will influence how Pac will turn up the final day.

    Looking at those tubes full of blood, don't really tell us exactly how much blood they take. Although it does seem alot, we can't be entirely sure. But what we have come to realize, is that these extensive testing procedures are more intrusive than we originally thought. I mean come on, having 2 strangers following you around for half the day, can be a little distracting for some fighters.

    You won't be.

    I've had blood taken in between workouts and you do feel the difference. I only do weightlifting though, so maybe it's affects are different for boxing? There is a slight difference, though, for sure.

    Having that said, if I get my preparation wrong from sleep to my pre-workout meal, I can tell the difference.

    The other point is that both guys are doing it, but I do understand where Pacquiao is coming from.

    Maybe someone with medical experience can chime in. Curious how long does it take to replenish the blood in you system after 4viles have been drawn?

    How can it be distracting? When Pac has 20 people or more around him at all times. It's juts a lame excuse to try and get out of taking the test. If the legitmacy of your hard work ios being questioned then you take the test on that alone. What people like you fail to relaize is that Pac's career will forever have a cloud of suspicion over it if he doesn't take these tests.

    Which begs the question...How come the boxers let the 24/7 crew constantly film them while they are preparing? Two extra guys can't really make a difference...

    Floyd is definately not the commision and should have went to the commision if thats what he wanted, BUT it is also legitimate to put it in a contract during the negotiation process, because thats what the contract is so you cant be mad at him for trying to negotiate it in the contract. Guess what? if the other fighter doesnt like it, he dont have to agree. Plain and simple, fair and square.

    Manny put a first time request of 10mil for every excess pound. If floyd didnt like it, he didnt have to agree, but he didnt have a problem with it so he agreed. Floyd put USADA, manny didnt like it so he didnt agree. And manny is entitled to not agreeing and i dont blame him if that is not something that he wanted to do. Plain and simple, fair and square. I take Mayweather over manny and he pbf is my fav boxer, but im a realist and i call it with a common sense approach, but both boxers **** me off about certain things they do and i wont hesitate to let it be known. But I dont understand y people get so mad with floyd for trying to negotiate something in a contract. if you are going to get mad, then fighters shouldnt negotiate ringsize, rematch, purse gloves venue, or anything else and just let the commission do it.

    He did not single manny out simple because mosley is doing it too and he says that every fighter he fight from now on will. I guess you are calling it singled out because manny was the first that he was going to implement it on.

    Manny's lawsuit is a lost cause and if you cant seem to figure out why, not trying to be an *******, but this conversation with you and I is expired

    Because that convicted drug dealer Floyd Sr. said so? :lol: It follows therefore that we should doubt the achievements of all the 99% of the top ATG boxers because they did not take the tests. :lol:
