So just because they last tested 18 days before the fight doesn't mean they'd do that each time, and it doesn't mean that suddenly you can demand to unrandomize it and say "I'll do it up to the 14 day window" because it doesn't work that way. Yes the last testing was 18 days before the fight but neither Floyd nor Shane knew that would be the last time before the fight, because they had to remain open and therefore would always have to be ready for it. That's not what Pacquiao is asking, he is saying "well they did it 18 days out so i want 14" that changes it because then you "know" you aren't going to be tested. That doesn't make it random. I don't know why he is so insistent on finding a window.[/QUOTE]
That is why I put the blame on the disagreement with the blood testing in the first negotiation equally to both Pacquiao and Mayweather although several posters here placed most of the blame on Manny. If Floyd wanted to clean up the sports of boxing and insisted on a 14 day cut-off during that negotiation, then why did he not insist on that in his fight with Mosley when the later had admitted to past banned substance use?
But that's in the past. Let's just see what happens in the third negotiation. (At least they will be having a trilogy even before they fight, or don't fight.).
