Is this the drop of blood you are referring to?

    "..Obviously Pacquiao's assertions that having blood drawn will weaken him are scientifically wrong, but watching the invasive procedure made me believe more than ever that there is a reason for Pacquiao to resist such testing.

    We learned in the episode that those in charge of testing had already visited both teams camps multiple times, and that the procedure takes several hours to complete. Mayweather was strangely excited when the testers showed up, even though it meant he was forced to spend the next five hours in their presence. His strange celebration seemed forced and actually made me cringe.

    Mosley's reaction was less enthusiastic, but he seemed willing to allow the inconvenience given the opportunity and his past history.

    After watching the show, however, I can't help but think that the testing is too much, too invasive. I'm certain that it is accurate, but in much the same way much of airport security is helpful, some times you wonder if it's worth the trade off in quality of life.

    There is a sacred rhythm to training camp, it is intense and personal and simple. Interjecting an extra level of scrutiny and stress doesn't seem as non-invasive as many of Pacquaio's critics have argued. There has to be another way to get accurate testing without that level of distraction and intrusion.." read more

    This is probably the reason why no other sports do drug tests

    Pac is right after all for refusing invasive blood tests.
    He had been there, done that. It weakened him.

    14 days away from the fight the last test would have been given. He would have plenty of time to replenish any blood lost during the test. Pac is full of **** and so are his fans.

    Could be a tablespoon.

    Tablespoon is different than a teaspoon which is what I think you meant.

    I think it looks like there is more blood in those test tubes than what there actually is, in my opinion anyway.
    I think they are on the right track with the random testing...but im sure they can maybe do it in a different way. Boxing needs all year round random drug testing. The majority of sports out there implement this law, so I don't see why boxing (a very dangerous sport) shouldn't do the same.

    :patsch Here's Pac's experience on blood tests which weakened him. This was taken when Floyd was not yet retired and was the #1 pound for pound.

    The thing is: Both MOsley and Mayweather are doing it.
    No matter how much blood.
