Did Pacq ask Mosley to random drug test?

I assume you are addressing my post above. I can't speak for the actions of others, in regards to why they don't write a formal letter, etc. But, tell me how that makes it an invalid request?

True, the commissions did not see the need to invest the time and resources into it, or take on the perceived risk, at this point. They have always considered additional testing a matter of negotiation between the fighters. That being the case, Floyd is acting within his rights to request OSDT (or any other kind of testing)...while Manny is acting within his rights to refuse. Ultimately, all it means is that we don't have this fight.

 

It doesn't matter when and who brought up the issue. It is a valid request.
Not sure what you mean...by the "only time you heard Floyd mention drug tests was in his embarrasing rant on stream", as he's mentioned them from the start.

Obviously, you have personal beliefs about Floyd's motives for asking for the testing (as many people do). But, it just so happens that, despite his motives, he's (perhaps inadvertently) shined the light on an important issue, that has been swept under the rug for far too long...and it has incited debate from boxing forums to the very commissions that govern sports.

I wonder how you (and like minded individuals) would see the issue, if Shane busted Manny up bad in their fight, or turned back the clock 10 years and showed more stamina than he has in years, and was somehow later found to have used PEDs in that fight.

 

^Actually, man, had they filed a motion to amend the rules to the commissions long before, it would have been heard and studied and put into consideration. The commission won't act if there's nothing to work on. I'm not saying it's an invalid request but just that the manner of requesting is done in improper way. It would have been a good request if the parties formally addressed the matter to the commissions. Manny Pacquiao follows the commissions rules, if NSAC says you have to submit to random blood testing, you got to follow it and the same applies to all fighters, no exceptions.

 

OK...sure, they could've taken that approach. And, if they had gotten buy-in from the commission, they could've basically ensured the test would be non-negotiable. That's a longer road, perhaps. But, I assume they understood that according to the rules, they could also make the request as a part of the negotiations; therefore, cutting through the bureaucracy. Either approach is valid, and admissible under commission rules. Floyd simply took the shorter route. Now, I'm not making reference to all the drama prior to the actual negotiations. I think that was uncalled for, on the part of the Mayweathers.
