Pacquiao-Mayweather in jeopardy...

I know i'm commenting on my own thread here but the latest report is that this blood test is going to be at random. Which basically means that they can come in at 4 a.m. the night before the fight and take a blood sample. This is according to Dan Rafael of e.s.p.n. This is the reason why Pac-man is fighting this, again according to e.s.p.n.

I dont blame him and I think it will be worked out once Floyd sees that the drug tests that can be done will be sufficient to uncover any foul play.

They will agree on the times in which it can be taken.

After a little research it sounds like Roaches red blood cell count argument has some merit. Take the blood before the the 8 weeks prior to the fight, then do the regular drug tests that have been sufficient for everyone else. This will be Floyds fault if this thing falls through. Or atleast it sounds like right now.

hahahaha there only taking a tiny sample of blood to test, he isnt giving them 2 pints of blood !

why 8 weeks, it seems like your trying work out a scenario were he could use and still pass the tests

Promoter says Pacquiao-Mayweather likely off


(AP) – 47 minutes ago


LAS VEGAS — The promoter for boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao says a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. will not happen unless Mayweather's camp drops its insistence for Olympic-style blood testing.
Promoter Bob Arum says if that doesn't happen by Thursday, the proposed March 13 fight that would have likely been the richest ever in boxing is over.


Arum accused Mayweather's camp of raising the issue not because they were worried about Pacquiao taking performance-enhancing substances, but because Mayweather never wanted to fight in the first place.
Arum said Wednesday that Pacquiao would agree to testing by the same agencies that test pro football and baseball players, but not for random tests by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
He said that Pacquiao still plans to fight March 13, and will now look for another opponent.
