If Pac takes Floyd's drug tests and fails them, what good is that to Floyd?

    This thread makes no sense whatsoever.

    So he hasn't agreed to full random blood testing in the run up to the fight then? Which was what Mayweather asked for. Him taking the test on the day of the fight (i.e after the fight is done) was never in doubt, Pac joking that he would take tests between rounds doesn't change anything. He still hasn't agreed to the random testing before the fight without a cut off date.

    By now it has nothing to do with Fraud, a lot of fans like me want to know if he on peds or not, and what it will do for fraud is, if he fails he was right all along and if pass the test he will make millions.

    You are missing the point. Lets say (and I only say so to illustrate a point) Manny is dirty. Floyd demands the tests, forcing Manny to come in clean- even if Manny is dirty he will not use when he knows he'll be tested. Floyd would fight Manny with neither man holding an unfair advantage. If Floyd genuinely believes Manny to be dirty then demanding the tests is the only sensible thing to do.

    What your really asking is how is it not suspicious that a boxer won't agree to EXTRA drug testing. Boxers are already tested by the NSAC...Floyd wants to go above and beyond that because his mind can't fathom how Pacquiao could possibly be that good...

    ...now, I'm middle of the road on this whole thing...while I shake my head at the fact that PBF isn't satisfied with letting rhe powers that be do their jobs, I also shake my head at the fact that Pac won't just say "**** it. I'll take your damn test...now let's do this"

    Me too, I really haven't found a firm stance on this yet. Most people seem to be die-hard advocates of one side or the other.

    I understand Floyds angle, drug testing is clearly inadequate and must be addressed yet I sympathise with Manny, he's being harassed over his 'suspiciously' great achievements.

    I guess the main thing is it would give Floyd piece of mind. There is no doubt Floyd looks at what Paquiao has done and like many others wonder how it is possible. Now I know Floyd in the pro game has come up from 130lbs to win world titles at five different weights, but Pac has done it from 112lbs and thats a heck of a difference. I got no doubts both fighters are weary about the other, thats why there is such a problem in getting the fight made.

    How many people here would like to get hit with someone who's on Peds. Is it me but i'm a big boxing & baseball fan and every since the crack down on Peds it's now the years of the pitchers.
    You ever here of a lead off hitter hitting 50 home runs ,his name was Brady Anderson he was on steroids as well as many others , promoters control the sport of boxing not the state if you want to believe that.
    Arum and Roach and Ariz knows whats up and some of you are the pawns.

    i just can't help thinking that even if we get past the drug testing issue, there's gonna be another stumbling block that soon springs up. maybe over the way the testing is done, remember when mayweather sr said he'd want someone from his camp to oversee the drug testing done, can you see freddie roach having someone from the mayweather camp with him and pac 24/7? then there's the arguement over the purse split. i know there's a lot of money to be made in this fight but i really can't see this fight ever happening. its a real shame for all boxing fans.

    Let me help you out. Shane Mosley was taking Epo and some other **** and he passed the **** test giving by the NSAC. He was later caught in the Balco scandal and he admitted to using PED'S but the NSAC could not do anything about it bc he never failed a drug test. Nobody can name a fighter that has failed a drug test before the fight bc they don't do them before the fight. Floyd is only asking for the both of them to come in clean. Manny could be clean as a whistle or dirty as hell and if they do the test we will all know the best man won.
