Mayweather Camp alters stance on blood testing

[generalbulldog]

Pacquiao, Mayweather reps change stance but fight is not closer - ESPN

Here's an excerpt of the article.

We are OK to move off USADA," Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who is representing Mayweather, told ESPN.com. "What we're saying, and what is important to us, is four things -- that the tests be random, that they include blood and urine and the time frame, meaning when do you stop the tests before the fight but know they will still be effective. Three of them we have agreed on -- random, blood and urine. So now it is a matter of the two sides working out the specifics of the cutoff date to assure it will still be effective."

if i were the mayweather's i wouldn't negotiate with this little exposed cheater, pacquiao!!! and to think that pacquiao is still haggling with the dates of these blood tests is further testament that he's afraid to get caught, the little rat eating larve.

What are you talking about? They are still asking for random drug tests

Floyd seems to want this fight more then Pacquiao

I was actually hoping maybe this fight wouldn't happen because then Shane would get a shot at Floyd(well the winner of Shane vs Berto) but this is good. It still will rattle Pacquiao mentally these random drug tests. Even if Pacquiao had "no knowledge" about it he has got to be wondering why his promoter was so against him taking drug tests, it plants a seed in your mind no matter who you are.

i saw this headline "golden boy backing off usada for mayweather-pacquiao". this could mean olympic style drug testing is scrapped for this fight

It is the end of 'olympic style' testing but their could still be drug tests. The problem is the politics of boxing start to work, the athletic commission doesn't meet until the 13th, where they would have to legislate some type of special blood testing policy. This is ridiculous, all of it. I wouldn't mind if the fight happened late next year though.

No that means Pacquiaos camp didn't want to use the USADA because of their ties with GBP specifically ODLH. So the Mayweather camp offered yet ANOTHER concession in their saying they didn't care WHO took the test, as long as the test was done. With the Mayweather camp giving so much up in negotiations it's amazing Pac doesn't want to prove definitively his innocence to make 40 million dollars.

Nothing outrageous at random drug testing and this style testing should be implemented throughout the sport!!!!

It or any other test just should not be something allowed for fighters to demand for their own personal assurance...

I could be wrong but has Floyd ecer stated he would like to see this implemented in the sport as a whole? If so hats off to him....

I still wonder if this whole thing of not testing is a game by the Pacquiao camp? not saying it is but wondering if so.....

I wonder if this is a way for the Pacquiao camp to see how bad Mayweather wants this fight...

In truth Mayweather wanting this fight is not even an issue he NEEDS this fight...

Shame the whole thing has turned into a circus really everyone suffers

That's the truth, regardless of what happens I hope we see them face off in the ring as opposed to the courtroom.

Thats very true I hope not too. If the circus stays in the ring it will be standing room only, same in every pub and club the world over.
A circus is nothing without the crowd. This could work out well $.

agreed, I mean whatever happened to the days where there were no crazy demands on fines for every pound over, demands on drug testing etc...when fighters just fought, promotional teams made the terms and the commissions took care of the testing etc?

I know so many have dropped the ball on things so there is reason not to trust these commissions to make a true find on things but why can't these discussions be made behind close doors if demands made?

It ruins our sport as a whole making it look silly in the media.....

It is no wonder why so many people claim boxing is dieing

You dont deserve to post in here you fucking moron. Maybe you do eat rats. Pac doe'snt eat rats. Pac eats luxurious buffets with the best chefs in my country something you can only dream about. Now eat that moron.

Mayweather beats Pacquiao steroids or not, I just don't think he wants this lucrative oppertunity to pass him by. He knows that stylistically Manny won't be able to handle his speed, accuracy, and skill in general.
