They never done it before so that must be a good reason not to do it?

    If this is the first time for "everything" then NSAC should put it into place, for all future fights too. The problem is, this is not the start of everything, its not a procedure NSAC has put into place, it is simply there because Mayweathers insecurity has caused him to throw baseless accusations around and to satisfy his ego, he is trying to force Pac to give blood when pac doesnt want to. Pac has agreed to blood testing 30 days before the fight, unlimited urine test, blood test straight after the fight...I dont see the problem. Thats more than any other fighters has previously been subjected to for PED checks in boxing and probably more than any other fighter in the future too.

    Mayweather is a proven cheater of the scales, look at the JMM fight...Manny has no record in using "steroids".

    Thats a narrowminded point of view. Is 1% a big deal? NO. Yet why would Pac not budge against Hatton in the 50-50 deal? Because Pac wanted that extra 1%...that 1% wasnt a lot of money, but its a case of pride. Pac thought he deserved the bigger pay...just as he thinks he deserves respect in this fight and not be forced to draw blood before the fight because Floyd is so damm insecure.

    So why wasn't the precedent set by Schaefer for Mosley? USADA and GBP had the chance then. They refused - why?

    "It has never been done before" is a valid reason. Because it isn't just trying to start something better for boxing. This is being done to target a specific boxer and to try to dirty their name.

    If this was being done to try to clean up drug testing in boxing then it would have been a movement to get it broadly done and included for all fights.

    Targetting one boxer will do nothing to clean up drug testing. It will start a precedent of picking on specific fighters to **** with them and nothing more.

    If GBP were even remotely serious then they wouldn't be using drug testing as a pre-fight tactic and turning it into a farce where they do more harm than good. They don't give a **** about the standard of testing across the sport and that is pretty obvious.
