Anyone have any 24/7 clips of Mosley or Floyd giving blood?

    I would think these clips would be everywhere so that Floyd fans can show how he's cleaning up the sport.

    Or you want to see it cause otherwise you call bull**** that they never really took blood?

    Im not sure honestly though, I remember something in the first or second episode though, not 100%

    Don't even pay attention to these guys. Pacquiao will be finding out for himself that these blood tests are real in the fall.

    I think they took the tests. I just want to see a clip to see the protocol the USADA followed in doing it.

    Basically two guys show up. Until they've collected the urine and blood samples one of them stays in sight of the donor at all times with no exceptions. It took them something like 6 hours to collect everything they needed from Floyd in the one episode. They showed up during his workout and they have to wait 2 hours after it's over to collect blood if I recall. Then Floyd was dehydrated from his workout and it was 6 hours after they showed up before he could produce the required amount of urine. They went to Floyd's house with him and hung out watching movies keeping him in sight at all times.

    It's clearly something very expensive to implement and could only be used for main events or other matches that produce at least X amount of revenue. Easily could cost $1-2k+ per test and more depending on how much traveling and other time required not counting the costs of the lab tests on the samples which I'm sure is not cheap either. I'd be very curious to hear how much the testing ends up costing for this match. Clearly a big PPV main event like this can afford it but I'm not sure it's worth doing for anything else.

    Edit- another thread mentioned the testing for Mayweather/Mosely cost over $20k. Clearly only a PPV main event will be able to justify this kind of expense.
