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

[ElTerribleMorales]

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

so you want the purse split, the size of the gloves, the size of the ring be discussed on this thread as well?

granting these 2 issues are related, does pacquiao dropping the weight penalty clause causes mayweather to drop the blood testing demand too?

the thread title says it all. the weight penalty clause is not related to the subject of this thread.

on another note, any info if usada testers got blood from floyd and mosley right after the fight?

how many days from blood letting 'til the results be known, any info?

I was actually hopeful when Pac said he'd do a 14 day cut off - But the more I think about, the only way it is completely fair is the 1 day cut off.

If it's good enough for Mosley who was the man at Welter then it should be good enough for Miss Phillipines too if he grows some balls and does the right thing.

I don't know whether I'd sacrifice Floyd agreeing for the 14 day cut off..actually, of course I would...I want this fight to happen regardless but it would still leave a teeny doubt about Pac for me.
