    If Pac is clean, excuses aren't necessary. If Pac gets "weak" when he takes blood tests, he has no business stepping into the ring with the best fighter in the world.

    I didn't miss the answer ... unlike you, I listened to the ENTIRE answer, not just the parts I wanted to hear. Trygart made it clear that RANDOM IS RANDOM and there is no official cutoff for blood tests. If it happens 18 days out, so be it, but blood testing can happen all the way to fight night. It is the option of the USADA. Once fighters agree to be tested by the USADA, they have to accept that blood testing can happen at ANY time up to fight night.

    Why is Pac agreeing to the 14 days now, but didn't the first time around????

    saving face with the media, he figured it was safe since that offer was taken off the table

    Tygart is an idiot. They already know the scheme they used is inutile and pointless, or at the very least a gross failure by their own standards. Go to their website. You'll learn that the purpose of random testing is as a deterent against using prohibited drugs. It's strenght and effectivity relies in being random THE WHOLE YEAR the athlete is being tested. Not a few weeks leading to a fight. Why? Because even if you tests them for two weeks up to the fight what can you say about the weeks and months before that where there was no random testing? They could be using drugs during that time. In fact that is the most probable time that boxers would be using. Few weeks into the fight they would just be tapering off training so no need for drugs. Try to be objective for a second and you'll understand what I'm saying here.

    Stop confusing random test vs. random blood sample. What in tygart's answer you don't understand about they stopped blood at 18 days due to them seeing it fit, but continued random tests (on urine)?

    or he really wants the fight to happen thus bending over a little just to make the fight. so why are you floyd fans not happy that pac is trying to stop the deadlock and make the fight possible? don't you want to see this fight?

    he compromised just to make this fight for the boxing fans.

    now why floyd changed his demand? 14-days before was ok, but now isn't? why?

    I'm more concerned with his motives last time. He obviously WOULD NOT agree to fight Floyd coming off his dominant victory over Mosley, if he wasn't sure he could be 100% ready. Well, according to him if he does blood tests up until 14 days, he couldn't be 100%! So what gives? Was he lying back then, or is he now willing to fight Floyd even though his body will be weakened by the blood testing?

    USADA have found another cash cow sport to seek their fangs into. Tygart is not going to say anything detriment to the policy which cooked them up a cool $320K payday in a few weeks for the Mayweather-Mosley fight.

    If PAC is one dimentional, easy to get hit , can't fight backwards, has a reach and height disadvantage and the easiest fight for FLOYD. BLOOD TEST is not necessary.:lol:

    who knows? you can also say that to floyd and his motives for demanding this blood test, making a 14 days cut-off offer and now pulling it out once pac agreed. besides, it was the past negotiations and both did not conceded enough to meet somewhere. they were only seperated by 10 days of cut-off then, why not meet at 19 days? so now, we have one fighter trying to make the fight. if you think there is some other reason other than trying to make the fight, then it would just be secondary. we as fight fans, should try to pressure floyd into getting back in his 14 days cut-off. if we don't, we are just giving him some reason not to make this fight.
