Travis Tygart, executive director of the USADA, said he had talked to representatives of both fighters about providing testing. Tygart said he welcomed the request as he would for any sport that does not have stringent Olympic-type testing.

"I think every sport that wants to have clean athletes it's a sign of a step forward to have out of competition testing," Tygart said. "It's an essential thing to do if you want to protect the integrity of the sport. Clean athletes want a level playing field."

Tygart noted Olympic athletes are tested often and without notice. He said less than a teaspoon of blood is removed out of an average of 380 teaspoons in the normal human and that it regenerates within an hour of being withdrawn.

I was wrong about the tablespoon then. That is such a small amount of blood there is noway you can't be suspicious of Pacquiao if he doesn't submit to the testing.

It doesn't matter the amount of blood, it could be 1 drop, the point is it's not necessary! Urine analysis can detect everything they would be looking for. The Mayweather camp is just using this to get out of the fight. And if Pac agrees as he had 2 earlier times, they will just come up with something else. I think Floyd will win this fight, but I'm not sure he has the balls to fight this fight!

don't think its happened in boxing before. But let the biggest fight in awhile be the example that the rest of boxing should go by from now on.
