    I have yet to find ONE credible source that confirms that SSM/Mayweather didn't test after 18 days. IT'S BULL****. The last 24/7 shows Mosley testing the week before the fight.

    If you can't actually provide ONE credible source, kill this lie.

    You guys are starting to make me sick with all this nit-picking. Random is random. A cut off is a cut off. USDA could not possibly be controlled by golden boy. If you believe that theory you might as well believe that aliens constructed the pyramids.

    The head of the USADA said the last blood tests were 18-19 days before the fight, but they did urine tests after that.

    The bolded part is not especially encouraging. Maybe some other agency will do the testing if Mayweather agrees to the 14 days.

    r u ****in serious u think gbp runs the usada i guess they fix the olympics too this isnt even an intelligent arguement the usada is a very powerful organization and dont answer to anyone including the nevada state commision the point isnt when the last test was its when the threat of the last test is im sure they dont do the same thing for every event if they did there wouldnt b any reason for a random test the athlete would know when the test is comin duh

    you're missing the point....yes Mosley and Mayweathers last tests were 18 days before but they were discouraged from using anything after that date because no one told them that was their last test for all they knew they could have each been tested 3 more times before the fight and for that reason no one would be dumb enough to cheat. If someone knew for sure though that 14 days before the fight they wouldn't get tested (as pac is asking for) then they have ample time to cheat starting day 13. That's the whole point of random unannounced testing

    "Olympic" style testing has no cut off date. Do 30 seconds of research before starting another empty headed thread. THE USADA will probably refuse to administer the testing if there is a cutoff, since a cut of date goes against their policy and they would consider it unethical.

    It's because they are ignorant. They don't know what they don't know and that is a lot.

    “That totally misses the point,” Tygart said of the reaction some may have upon hearing of Pacquiao’s concession and the timing of Mayweather’s last blood test. “If you know you aren’t going to be tested within the last 14 days, you can cheat and get away with it. It is our right to test at any time, 30 days before the fight, 20 days before, the week of, the morning of – that provides the deterrent. If you block out a period of time and say we can’t test during that period, then an athlete could cheat and get away with it.”

    Kevin Iole was also wrong about the PPV numbers but let's assume he's correct for a minute... see above from the same article.

    Second, why is this the only "news" source with this information?

    this blood testing is getting out of hand simply because the most credible person on earth claimed that pac was on peds. i think they should be tested before the fight and in between rounds. to push it further the ref should stop the fight at random and have the two fighters tested ramdomly. ridiculous isn't it? well, because all of these is....


    if both parties really wanna fight, they should just follow the standard protocol and get it on. that should make all boxing fans happy. afterall, these bout doesn't need to be hyped.

    Now Void is refusing 14 days! Pac agreed to 14 days and he agreed to test right after the fight is over, both blood and urine. However, Void does not want to fight Pac. He is afraid.

    Floyd is asking for random testing being possible until the fight. Hypothetically, they could not take any blood from Pac any closer than 25 days from the fight but Team Pacquiao will still know there is a possibility of him getting testing until the day of the fight.
