    So......... Pac offered the 24 during mediation, Floyd rejected it and didn't offer anything. What was team Pacquaio supposed to think... Huh?

    He offered 24 days, Floyd rejected it. So.... Pac should have then offered 20 next even without a counter from Floyd???

    That's not how mediation works. :-(

    because caps lock is cruise control for cool.

    anyways, Pac should have just sucked it up and taken the 14 days that Floyd offered. The science isn't on his side and his own story isn't on his side.

    Because Floyd had compromised enough after Pac originally agreed to blood testing up until the day of the fight.

    potatoe, potato.... I'm just tired of people saying Pac refused random drug tests when we both know that's far from true.. He gave in to as many random tests as they wanted even the day of the fight, I haven't seen any proof that blood would provide better drug testing than urine... Wouldn't hair follicles be better than both?? If they were truly after better testing??? Think.. I blame both these primadonnas for this fight we may never see, either way Pac agreed to random drug tests up until and through the fight...

    I don't personally care which testing is better.

    What I care about is Pac agreeing to blood test up until the fight.

    Then completely changing his mind and then doing that another 3-4 times over.

    See the problem with the conflicting stories is just that... There was way too much talking and negotiating through the media, we had Arum, Roach, Koncz and Pac all speaking about this. I'm not sure Pac realized all the blood tests he could have been subjecting himself to when he initially agreed, but that's his fault for not being 100% informed.

    My point is that Pac fully agreed to random drug tests and as many and as frequently as they like... Just not the kind the Mayweathers wanted. If both tests are considered to be equal by the professionals who conduct these tests, why wouldn't they agree to urine???

    Doesn't matter if you blame one guy, the other, or both.... Pac agreed to as many random drug tests as they wanted:deal

    It makes it all the more fishy that Pac agreed to the USADA to do the testing, then only wanted the NSAC to handle the testing.

    The NSAC does not test for EPO in urine, and blood testing for EPO isn't that great.


    I dont think Pac is on anything but every decision he's continued to make screams Im cheating.

    I agree that some of the things "team Pac" has done aren't the most reassuring.

    The thing with them only letting the NSAC do the testing came after "team Mayweather" said they would only let USADA do the testing. So once again it was a pissing contest neither side wanted to lose.

    The thing is this was a huge payday so Pac and crew originally agreed to outside random drug agencies. They wanted someone who would have some give on the blood testing since USADA is very firm on their policies and forms of testing. The unlimted access to all the urine samples as often as they wanted was never in question.. So with this kind of money they could have spent money and had the better tests performed, and screen for any PED's in the urine.

    It wasn't a fuss over random drug testing or even how much random drug testing. One side wanted unlimited blood and urine, the other wanted unlimited urine and limited blood. If both tests are equal as long as they are looking for SPECIFIC drugs, whats the problem???

    Pac was fine with unlimited urine and blood whenever whereever.

    Only after Floyd agreed to the weight penalty did Pac then change his mind.

    What was offered to Pacquiao is a negotiation. He doesn't have to comply to such if he doesn't want to. To say that Pacquiao is to blame because he didn't agree to another man's demand is ludicrous.
