    Theres a ton of info and misinfo on the internet, can someone list Roachs exact specifications of when Pac could get tested? Asking for Roach's agreement since I trust him a lot more than Arum or Koncz.

    anytime before 5 days before the fight with a promise of a blood test after the fight. definitely more credible as in with the latest pacquiao interview it only says he is not willing to give blood 2-3 days before the fight as it may affect his strength. and lets not forget this is manny pacquiao we are talking about. the guy who blamed socks and gloves. this guy is superstitious.

    Sorry, I'll keep the rest in another post as it interferes with the OP's question.

    Anyone have a link to Roach saying "anytime up until 4 days before the fight". Interview listed doesnt really say anything about this.

    I'm confused myself. Is it only the 48 hours they are refusing, or the whole 30 days?

    I found this on Yahoo boxing.

    Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said his fighter is willing to comply with strict drug-testing standards, but Roach won’t allow Pacquiao to have blood drawn 48 hours before the fight.

    Thanks. If Pac is willing to give blood any time except 4 days before or whatever that should appease everyone.
