I commend Floyd! He stood firm on his stance. He is what's right with boxing.

    I give you proof and you neglect it? There are multiple articles about it, so you can just google it if you want.

    Either you're a troll or an idiot. Random blood tests are 100% out of the norm. How far out of the norm do you ask? So far out that in the entire history of the sport it's never even been discussed much less demanded of any fighter.

    To be honest both of them are to blame but majority of the *******s and mayweather haters are going to blame the whole thing on Floyd due to fact they dont like the guy !!!
    I understand pacman refusing to the take the random drug test because he feels like he is getting single out by mayweather which in my opinion he is but if pacman was clean then he shouldn't worry about taking a random drug test especially if PBF is going through the same test. I don't blame then for given backing down to either guy because they have big egos but at the same time not fighting each other is hurting boxing right now.
     
  5. **** you and your logical argument. You're making me sympathetic towards Floyd. ****. He does have a track record, so it's not out of the ordinary to request it, but $10m is quite a lot. If Floyd said no, I think Manny would ease up on the rate, but still demand a penalty. Just not so much. Enough to make him avoid doing it.

    The point of the drug testing is the actual drug testing.
    he doesn't want blood to be drawn. The penalty only affects floyd if he comes in heavy.
    The clause is what is the problem, not the breaking of the clause.
    Manny doesn't like giving blood, especially immediately before the fight, but he agreed to it immediately afterward. As soon as the fight is over. Obviously he really feels giving blood does something to him.

    Pac does have something to worry about.

    1. He genuinely feels that it physically weakens him if blood is drawn too close to the fight. Who the **** does not feel queasy seeing their own blood drawn.

    2. This is just not one test. It it unlimited tests that could happen anytime. In could happen at 2pm while training or 2am while sleeping. They could do it the next day too. Big ****ing inconvenience.

    Now this worries are not worth 40m thats for sure, but thats why he tried reaching a compromise.

    Like seriously a superjuice that would make pac stronger in that he could instantly overcome may's height, reach, and weight advantage? Something that he could only take in that 3 week span. A drug that would not be detected in his blood or urine 24 days randomly before and immidiately after the fight?

    Really if anyone could provide just one example of a drug like this I'd be inclined to agree with Floyd.

    Did they actually do olympic drug testing (blood) though? Because I cant find it anywhere.....:huh...

    However I did find where Judah requested it so you are right but the question is, did they actually do it...

    I read somewhere that Mosley accepted the deal after Schaefer declined, but I only read it once so I don't know if that's true or not. Since the fight never happened they didn't do the tests though.

    Yeah, Floyds really trying to clean up boxing, he's a real hero!:rofl

    Thats why he's been petitioning for Olympic style drug testing for years right? That's why he asked all of his past 40 or so opponents for random Olympic style drug testing right?

    Oh, and Floyd will not fight Mosley.....ever.. or at least until he looks old and vulnerable.

    :lol:...Manny just needs to cowboy the **** up and come w/ a real counter offer. 24 days (if that's the real counter) is not cutting it.
