what is the best blood testing compromise for pacquiao-mayweather fight?

[Hornfinger]

the $10 million per lb clause was the compromise for the blood testing, just Pacquiao bitched out like a primadona

if pacquiao drops the $10 million penalty, is it fair that blood testing will also be dropped?

No not at all. That's like saying we'll drop the ten mill for every pound over (even though floyd does 147 easily) if you allow pac to take drugs. They are completely seperate issues.

Not once has floyd asked for the 10 million per pound over thing to be dropped. why? because he will come in inside the weight. Why does pac want the tests compromised? hmmm I wonder....

you're right, the penalty clause and blood testing are 2 separate issues as opposed to what was pointed out by another poster.

pacquiao offered a 24 days cutoff and testing right after the fight compromise since olympic style blood testing were not really required by boxing commissions for a boxing match in the first place. pacquiao already made a compromise by agreeing to blood testing with 24 days cutoff and testing right after the fight.

NSAC has it's own regulations and penalties for coming in overweight, so why does Pacquiao have to make up a $10 million per lb clause?

i think the blood tests should happen, and it should be the norm, not just in this fight

we can discuss the weight penalty clause in another thread since it's a completely separate issue from blood testing. these 2 are not related.

stringent blood testing might be the way to go in the future but its total implementation still needs to be studied thoroughly. some issues are;
- will it be for all boxers? (as what you suggested) including those undercard boxers
- who will shoulder the blood testing cost of roughly $20k per boxer per fight ($20k is larger than some boxers' purses)

until such time that boxing commissions already has the blood testing in place, we can contend ourselves with compromise testing.

Well you can start by putting it on title fights and make the IBF wbo wbc wba etc etc pay for it. Failing that take it out of the fight purse.

That would be a decent start.

good suggestion. until such time that it's already in place, a compromise agreement might be the best solution to make this fight a reality.

the weight penalty clause has everything to do with this, cause it goes hand in hand with the blood testing seeing how they were the demands made in this particular fight

[toe2toe]

18 days cutoff and testing right after the fight is a good compromise already for this fight to happen.

anything they can compromise as long as the fight happens.

[mickel]

whatever is required by the commission. otherwise it is BS.

you got a very valid point but we need a compromise just to have this fight a reality.
