Don’t be shy Pacquiao – take the blood tests

By Liam Santiago: Mayweather does not want to send Pacquiao to the moon. He just wants a fair fight. Is that really so bad? Also, I can not understand why on every boxing news forum, almost every fan is pinning the blame for what could be the cancellation of this bout on Mayweather. Pacquiao is at fault if this fight does not happen.

As the great Manuel Perez stated, it was fine for Pacquiao to call the shots against Cotto, demanding the champion boiled down an extra two pounds, but now Roach wants to play it fair. Roach said to 8count news, ”Well the sanctioning bodies and the state commissions run the boxing world, not Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules”.

Read that last sentence again. ”Since when does the fighter make up the rules”. Good point Roach. What gave you the right to demand that Miguel Cotto took an extra two pound off? What gave you the right to demand automatic DQ for Cotto in a case of an illegal low blow against Cotto?

I find it very silly that Pacquiao’s team has stated that they would accept a blood test after the fight. The whole point of these tests is to make sure the fight is fair. It is pointless finding out if Pacquiao has been juicing up after he has knocked Mayweather out. Pacquiao could beat Mayweather, then get found for juicing up after the fight, then retire and he would be a very happy man.

If this fight doesn’t happen, Roach said Pacquiao will instead fight Yuri Foreman. WOW! What a blockbuster! Not! Beating Foreman might give Pacquiao his 978th belt in 54 divisions or whatever it is, but no one wants to see that fight. What about Shane Mosley, Andre Berto or Timothy Bradley?

Floyd Mayweather Jnr said in a statement, ”In a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level”.

To be honest, I do not care weather this fight happens or not, because I already know what the outcome would be. Floyd by UD.

    BOXING ORGANIZATION RULES SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND FOLLOWED. NOT MAYWEATHER’S RULES AND DEMANDS. NO GREAT FIGHTER HAS EVER ACTED LIKE WHAT MAYWEATHER IS DOING NOW.
    HE IS DEGRADING THE ORGANIZATION’S ABILITIES, MAKE LOTS OF EXCUSES AND SPREAD CONFUSION…EXCUSES, EXCUSES AND MORE EXCUSES…JUST DO THE URINE TEST AND FIGHT !…RANDOM BLOOD TESTS COULD BE MADE DIRECTLY AFTER THE FIGHT, WHICH PACQUIAO HAS AGREED TO DO..

  • juebert says:

    you are an idiot saying he takes such beatings and is afraid of little tests, obviously you foret about sonny liston been afraid of needles, even cancelling fights over seas because of immunisation shots and that one of the meanest heavyweights in history so shut up for a while.

  • manny says:

    Floyd the world is not full of stupid people. Your plan is nothing but a cheap shot! Blood test can be taken after the fight why insist days before the fight? have common sense! it is a TRICK! He is just afraid that’s it! Mayweather should never be again be regarded as a good boxer but just a coward and a FRAUD! I would not be suprised if this will question your place in hall of fame. You should be in hall of shame! Mosley is right in treating you with disrespect because you don’t deserve it!

  • PacFuryFist says:

    what a b.s demand again from floyd’s camp….the power of manny is natural,it’s a gift….no doubt he is taking hgh,as i follow the life of pacquiao,he is from a hardwork when he is young,he can even lift 100 sacks of rice when he is young in one of the warehouse in the phil….boxing fight is not only for power but as smart in the ring.And besides,random urine test is enough and after the fight.I know that Moneymayweather afraid of Manny….he is afraid of his first lost.

  • sports fan says:

    Hopefully, the fight will go on

  • Jasper says:

    You always have been anti-pacquiao…I don’t understand you. Haven’t you heard of the saying…”if you can’t beat him join him” you should join the team since you are proven wrong every fight! Mayweather is doing his homework…he knows Pacquiaos only loss worth studying is the one with Morales in 2005 and he loss that fight due to decision but before the fight they pretty much drained him of his blood. Who wants to experience that again not pacquiao thats why it hasnt happened since and he has been dominating his opponents. So don’t let mayweather make dumb excuses he knows the time has come for him to be taking from his throne!!!!!

  • dale kennedy says:

    santigo and perez the same person, the articles are intertwined come on boxing 24 do your job,

  • roy says:

    floyd want to slow down manny ,as manny can punch non stop all night.if he can slow down manny work rate .he has a better chance.

  • roy says:

    you will never be sure what the test result would be,what you ate ,your all nature home made drink things etc. would be funny if floyd test positive and pac test negative ,you get what you dish out.

  • jje says:

    pbf is just tryin to play mind games…pac doesn’t want to do it out of principle…pbf is a fighter so what gives him the right to set the rules…pac will probably just give in and whoop him…

  • Arnold says:

    One thing for sure, you cannot beat our man! The Best Pound for Pound King Manny Pacquiao will surely be the winner! Always remember that YOU cannot command the real hard pound champion! Giving in with Mayweather’s foolishness will jeopardize the power and strength of the real champion. Why afraid? Are you afraid being down by Pacquiao? Hahaha!!!
    It is fair enough if all kinds of testing will be done after the fight. Don’t give this an excuse Mayweather! You better run and use your broad shoulder and that is you! Hehehe!!!

  • Perez Hilton says:

    Then you, Tommy, are an idiot.

  • FlipFloydFan says:

    Pac deosn’t want to take a blood test, he doesn’t want the public to know he is… PREGNANT!!! LoL.

  • jhon foreman says:

    Mr Freddie Roach and Bob Aurum, u could BS other people but me and others whos in the medical field are not as stupid as the others, cut the BS and take a blood test.If Pacman dont take the blood test, thats the end of him, he will be the same as Margarito.

  • jhon foreman says:

    Pacman fight sometimes with blood in his face, now for a simple blood test hes scared.If Pacman really as great as what he claim, then go for it, if not with all the fight that he just won, will have no credit.Its simple Pacman really used another type of enchancing drug that u could only find in China.So lets go and forget all the BS.

  • Jay Daniels says:

    It’s pretty clear that Pac-Man has something to hide.First it was because he didn’t like needles but how is that we he has all of those tattoos now having a tablespoon of blood drawn is going to make him weak lol! Such BS!!! Pac-Man’s camp can’t dictate how the USADA wants to randomly draw his blood, having his blood only drawn 60 days before the fight is pointless.Random testing means random! If they supplied a schedule for the testing then the Pac Camp would be able to know exactly how to approach the test and clear him up prior to testing. So what is it he’s really hiding? I never had any respect for Pac so nothing lost here he’s a coward just like I thought and will never be great like Mayweather. Ms.Pac-Man sounds like a better fit lol!

  • Rex Giacomo says:

    In response to the release sent out Tuesday by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions which stated that Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was “in jeopardy,” Arum had the following to say:

    “Let’s be very clear on the real issues we differ on. It’s not about being tested. Manny is onboard with that since it’s such a major concern of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. It’s about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures. Manny will submit to as many random urine tests requested. Regarding the blood tests, he will subject himself to three tests; one given in January during the week the fight is formally announced, one thirty days from the fight, no later than February 13, and the final one immediately following the fight, in Manny’s locker room. The major issue related to the testing rests with which independent agency will administer these tests. The United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) cannot do it because they will not amend its procedures to administer random blood tests as many times as they want up to weigh-in day and that is ludicrous.

    “Our suggestion is to utilize any of the independent agencies that work with the National Football League, the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball, since they administer drug testing for their professional athletes.”

    New York-based athletic physician, Dr. Keith Pyne, a to private injury consultant for NFL athletes and those who participate in running and combat sports, told AOL Fanhouse,
    “I have more than 800 guys who are special athletes who are all drug-tested. And the urine testing is sufficient that you won’t miss anything, especially with performance-enhancing drugs. So, yes, I believe that the urine testing is more than sufficient for boxing. If you’re using steroids, it’s going to come up for sure in urine. There’s no way it’s going to get through the liver and the kidney without being detected.

  • DANIEL says:

    FLOYD DIDNT EVEN WEIGH IN THE NIGHT HE FOUGHT JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ… ALL OF A SUDDEN HE WANTS TO BE ON A SAME LEVEL? FLOYD IS LOOKING FOR EXCUSES. IF THIS FIGHT DOES HAPPEN … HES GOING TO NEED SOME NEW RUNNING SHOES… THE OTHER SHOES ARE PROBLY ALL WASTED. FLOYD WOULD BE A GOOD MARATHON RUNNER.

  • RWill55904 says:

    So it looks like all the Pac-Fans are off work now. Again, what is your logic that Mayweather is so scared of fighting Manny? That we cook up x amount of excuses til Manny’s teams refuses? How the heck does that sound? Dumb..Nobody is scared of nobody. Mayweather is asking for a provision in the fight. Do you think Manny didn’t have provisions? Whoever refuses something 1st is the biggest p….And right now that’s Pacman. Floyd is taking the test, so why not Pac? Also random drug testing is just that random…The same way the Boxing Commission can miss someone wrapping their hands in plaster of paris, is the same way they can miss a drug test.. FIGURE IT OUT…

  • 2nPac says:

    There’s only so much one can agree to until it gets to someone and they finally say f! With every demand Pacquiao agrees to, Mayweather comes up with 2 more. Blood tests leading up to the fight and after is sufficient enough. But like I said before, the USADA can test the day of the fight. Mayweather knows this and he knows Pacquiao will never go for this.

  • dBomb says:

    What the F#@K Liam Santiago…Didn’t you write before that you were going to “I AM GOING TO STOP WRITING IF PACQUIAO BEATS COTTO!”?

    So, why are you still here Man? Don’t you have shame? Shame on your company for still paying you to write on…

    SHAME ON YOU LIAM!! SHAME ON BOXING NEWS 24!! YOU GUYS DONT HAVE ANY CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER…WHY WOULD WE LISTEN TO YOU?? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

  • abdul abubakar says:

    What fair play you’re saying.Admit it you and Manuel Perez are the same person.Pac will set the terms not your baby Floyd.

  • maiky says:

    Hi guys, im tired of reading Floyd is a coward…one question, only Pacman will do the test or both? Them why this guy just said no! Commom guys i think the coward here is Pacman, if he thinks he can beat Floyd, take the blood test.

  • diesel says:

    Paquiao is a coward. . . no blood test no 10 million for each pound over. . . if money’s demands are outragous then so are manny’s. . . pac is scared of money and wants to call the shots, but guess what pac camp mayweather aint cotto, if pac wants outragous stuff then he should oblidge to moneys stuff. it’s only fair.

  • L2ks says:

    Sir,

    You are an idiot. Why is Mayweather demanding this? It is not because if “sportsmanship”, it is because he does not want to fight.

    Pacquiao will win by TKO when he hits Mayweather’s shoulder. Mayweather can rol his shoulder all he wants, Pacquiao will just simply hit the shoulder and most likely incapacitate it. Then if Mayweather is still up for a fight, he will get KO’ed.

  • Doyle's Gym says:

    Everyone makes it sound like Manny won’t take a blood test. He has stated he’d take 3….more than enough to show he isn’t on anything. He would also take urine tests. As many as requested! He isn’t ducking anything, he is simply not bowing down to Mayweather. Floyd is playing mind games, and the Pac-Man ain’t playing! Why Mayweather is wanting to pass up all this money and attempting to make Paquiao look bad is beyond me. In my opinion, it is Mayweather who looks foolish and petty here.

  • pbf says:

    you guys just dont get it. Its not mayweather thats scared. I dont think pacquiao is scared either, but I do think without a doubt he is scared of the olympic style drug testing because he is hiding something. Stop baking him till the truth comes out!!! and believe me it will because you know whats going to happen now the usada is going to take control of that sport also which needs to happen and then he will be forced to take a random test an if he dosent he will get band. Plane and simple the man is taking hgh. Stop baking a cheater

  • waltz says:

    “I have lost all respect for the Pac Man”, Liam Santiago.

    You don’t have any respect for Pacquiao ever since you we’re born. You probably would spit in her mother’s face when she is giving birth for Manny. Stop writing you hypocrite.

  • bud says:

    fraud mayrunner is the greatest fraud in boxing. watching those pac highlights could have made him pee in his pants. what kind of demand is blood tests 48 hrs before the fight when pac agreen blood test 1 onth before and immediately after the fight, plus 24/7 drug testing?

    c’mon floyd? chickening out? what a fraud and cherrypicker! oh, and the name of mathew hatton sounds nice? go on go to UK and fight him , and then retire pls.

  • KO2 says:

    CHACKYUN I agree with you. mayweather never really like to fight pacquiao, its the money, why hes fighting again but to prove that making this rules about blood testing is ridiculous.odds making, is what this is all about, the bookies lost by the millions in pacquiaos last 2 fights and again they are creating something out of nothing , just to confuse people, like this liam hes out of nothing.

  • Will says:

    Jonathan, why shouldn’t new standards be set in drugs testing for boxing? Things always need to be improved, especially drugs testing. Unfortunately with science getting more advanced and the importance made of winning many people will try and cheat – FACT.

  • @jonathan says:

    Pacman is also guilty of these demands

    - catch weight demands
    - $10 million for a pound over weight

    And it is not just pac mans power people are questioning it is his increased punch resistance.

  • pbf says:

    i dont get yall, I have read most of the comments and you guys seem to know everything about mayweather and pacquiao. Are you there drinking buddies, I doubt that. To my knowledge and to what I have read Mayweather has signed the contrct and agreed to the testing, but the only fight who hasnt agreed or signed the contract is yours truely manny pacquiao. My question is arent all boxers professional athleats……. Everyathleat is subject to testing by the usada except boxers and i dont get it. I am long distance runner and I can tell you I have gone trough the testing he will go through and it didnt weaken me and i have to be able to run sometimes 20 miles a day and if you dont have your strength then you are going to be sucking. My opinion and now to the rest of the world who care about athleats that dope are going to suspect he is and keep a close eye on pacman. I think he is taking HGH. you can take HGH all the way till fight week and stop and by the time you have your next drug test it will be out of your system. Manny is hiding something that he dosent want the world to know so stop backing him

  • Ojay says:

    Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (a.k.a Liam Santiago)

  • chris says:

    i think pac is on something. Boxing didnt find it in mosely urine. The guy in charge of the balco trial sold shane out. So pac should take test because if he doesnt alot of people will start to whisper. the testing boxing is doing now is not enough. Ask shane mosely he almost got away with it.

  • Pacscorp says:

    Santaigho,

    Was it fair for Mayweather to come in over the weight limit fighting the small Marquez? So, what’s he talking about the word fairness? Tell me moron

  • graham says:

    It doesn’t make sense for manny pacquiao to agree to blood tests but demand that the tests are done at certain dates. There is a reason why drug tests are done randomly you know!

  • Jonathan says:

    Why is everyone claiming that Pacquiao is this unnaturally big puncher? If you watch his most important wins he did not crush his opponents with one huge shot – except Hatton – most of his victories against the elite came about from solid volume punching that broke down his opponents. The knockdowns came from highly accurate, fast shots that his opponent didn’t see coming. If any of you criticizing Manny don’t see that this is the case then you are easily brain washed by the media saying that he is this devastating knockout puncher when in fact it is that he is just so fast and accurate that he is able to land so many punches that it breaks down the other man so completely that it looks just so devestating. As for Mayweather and all his demands, if you were Pacquiao and his team, all his demands would probably be getting to you too. Whether he was given them or not it can still try anyones patience. So lets list them here in no particular order. Mayweather wants/wanted
    1)154 lbs limit
    2)10 oz. gloves
    3)More money
    4)His name first on the billing for the fight
    5)New drug testing
    6)Not just urine but blood too
    7)Changing the drug screening that has been sufficient in the past but for some reason no longer is good enough

    It seems more reasonable that Pacquiao should request this from Mayweather considering they weighed the same at 16 yrs. old and now Mayweather is taller and far more muscular than Pacquiao. Also, isn’t Mayweather’s hypocrisy evident when he says that the drug screening should equal the magnitude of the fight but when he engaged in the fight against DeLaHoya, which was of equal magnitude, he never asked that DeLaHoya submit to anything more than the standard drug screening. If any of you so called scribes remember, the bout was labeled as the fight to save boxing. What better bout than that one to start creating new precedents and standards for how boxers are tested? The Mayweathers also like to consider themselves a boxing dynasty so they should know steroids don’t give you punching power. Punchers are not made there born. However, a whiner and sore loser can be made when they come from an ignorant family that relishes doing things like throwing around baseless, liable accusations, without a shred of evidence.

  • Will says:

    Why do some fans feel boxing should be exempt from the most stingent of tests? Olympic standard tests are that stringent because there are so many different types of supplements available, some of which are produced naturally by the body and are only illegal when over a certain level. After intense competition the bodies natural resource of that substance may be depleted or reduced, thus allowing a clean test.

  • Yous Wisely says:

    I don’t know too much about substance testing. But it seems to me that testing after the fight would be a valuable way of knowing if the fight was won fair and square.

    Testing right now would be valuable to know if he currently has any of these substance in his system.

    Testing for both would give both sets of information.

    If they are pushing to only test post fight, it might be possible that they only want that set of results exposed.

  • neukid says:

    I just wish Pacman will call this latest bluff of Floyd jr and agree to the blood test and push this fraud up against a wall and lets see what hes gonna do next to avoid the fight.

  • LongoDongo says:

    Barry Bonds never failed a drug test. Yet he performed in his late 30′s and early 40′s much better than he did in his prime years. Had it not have been for a whistle blower HGH would have never been caught even with a blood test. Manny looks stronger at 147 than he did at 125 and that is not normal. Not when you look at fighters like Alexis Arguello who had 1 punch ko power in lighter weights and lost some of it as he went up in weight. The same can be said for Eric Morales, who lost power as he went up in weight. Barry Bonds never failed a drug test, but we all know the truth.

  • Stricer says:

    Liam Santiago, are you really a writer? a columnist? a sports-analyst?

    Your not suit for it Liam. You must be fair even if you love or hate that athlete.

    You should also be fired because of that. Think fairly Liam because you don’t know who are your dealing with.

    By the way, if the fight happens, be ready to shock because Pacquiao will destroy Mayweather and Mayweather’s 0 will go.

    Got that?

  • DJ says:

    Well, clearly Pacquiao hasn’t signed a contract as well. Who’s afraid of who?

  • oli says:

    why is it all of a sudden an issue with this fight? Both need to stop messin about and get on with it

  • Stricer says:

    @lefthook: That’s called determination, discipline, and hard-work. Your too dummy to think every week taken a blood.

  • KAM says:

    This will backfire on Floyd everyone now knows hes scared, the test after the fight is good enough why should manny be dictated too hes the world champion and hes the man who has dominated in the last 2 years. Floyd knows deep inside manny can beat him thats why hes trying to throw the fight.

  • Sam says:

    Hey Daud.

    Mayweather has not signed the contract yet. He will never sign the contract.

  • Stricer says:

    By the way, did Mayweather uses steroids (a perform-enhancing drug)? It really works. Not in his fighting style but in trash-talking.

  • lebron says:

PAC BEEN JUICING PAC BEEN JUICING,PAC BEEN JUICING.

  • Stricer says:

    Hello Pathetic!

    Remember what happen to Pacquiao when he was taken a blood the day before the fight between first bout with Morales?

    Pacquiao was so bloody and fighting not for his life but to the Filipinos as well. He was weak but still manage to fight back against Morales.

    Pacquiao is not scared of needles or taken blood perhaps. He is just scared that the first Morales fight will be the same outcome.

    Think that Mayweather just beat up the little guy named Marquez. And still wants Pacquiao to be taken blood for drug-testing. Mayweather just bring some excuses so that the fight will not happen.

    1st – Floyd wants it 65-35 split in his side
    2nd – Floyd wants the fight at 154 lb.
    3rd – Floyd wants to be Olympic-style Drug Testing

    Remember Big Floyd said a couple of weeks ago? “With or without perform-enhancing drug in Pacquiao, he can’t still beat my son”

    So what’s the point of suggesting Olympic-style Blood Testing then?

    And urinary drug testing is more effective than blood testing.

    Then a single hair also can detect if the person uses a drug.

  • Daud says:

    The same ppl that hype Pacquio up to be this big giant killing warrior are the same ppl who accept the excuse that needles freak this guy out. If Mayweather was scared he wouldn’t have signed the contrac. Drug testing is part of the contract. Do your homework ppl. Don’t just act off blind emotion

  • Ervin says:

    Note: BOXING HAS BEEN DOING THE REGULAR TESTING FOR YEARS. For you to say that random testing will detour certain doses is stupid. The testing that Manny’s Camp wants is the testing done by the MLB, NBA, and NFL. Submitting random urine tests, and 3 blood samples. Urine is just as sufficient as a blood test, difference is urine test will show immediately, blood tests show it no matter what, 2 or 3 months after it will show. But Liam, being tested after the fight will nullify a win and will in the long run ruin a reputation. Why would Manny want to do that? Don’t be such a Manny hater. Look at it scientifically and training wise, would you want to fight the biggest fight in your career without some blood? Ask your doctor as to why. Liam, you have lost credibility.

  • This is nothing. Mayweather is SCARED. He is trying to get under the skin of Manny. Roach NEVER made up rules. Actually, Mayweather has. Roach signed for a catch-weight fight with Cotto at 145… They both weighed in fine. Marquez singed for a catchweight fight with Mayweather at 145, Mayweather came in at 147, Marquez could have said, “I won’t fight you,” but that’s losing a lot of money, The commission said, Lose two pounds, or pay 600 thousand, so Mayweather came back hours later and weighed 147. He had NO intention of making the weight. I thought Mayweather would try and get out of this, he’s trying, they test urine before and after the fight, there’s no mandatory blood test before a fight, he’s playing games, like he’s done his whole career, he claims to be a five division champ… sure. Ring Magazine at the moment ranks him number 3 At Welterweight, that’s wrong, “Money” retired in ’07. In ’07 he fought De La Hoya at 154, refused to engage, and won a split, controversial decision. He then fought Jr Welterweight Ricky Hatton. He KO’d him in the 10th. The LAST welterweight he fought was Carlos Baldomir, who had 10 losses, the only two welterweights he fought were Baldomir and Zab “Super loser” Judah – so the last welter he fought was four years ago? Marquez is a lightweight. Why is he ranked at welterweight? He hasn’t beaten ANYONE in the division. By the way, Pac Man fought Hatton and floored him twice in the first round, knocked him cold in the second. He made De La Hoya quit before that. And Marquez? In his first fight with him he dropped him three times in the first round. Mayweather dropped him once, and safely went to a decision.

  • Don'tBeHatinPacman says:

    Mayweather is a COWARD.

  • mally j says:

    WHT THE BIG DEAL IF PAC ASKED MONEY TO DO IT AND HE SAID NO, THEN HE IS AFFRAID BUT WHEN ITS SWITCHES AROUND MAYWEATHER IS DEMANDING TO MUCH, MAN PLEASE IF U HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE THEN TAKE THE TEST.OH AND MONEY AGREED TO GIVE HIM 10 MILL FOR EVERY POUND HE IS OVER. PAC NEED TO BE PROFESSIONAL AND GIVE UP DA DNA

  • Ervin says:

    Bottom line is, boxing has been in Vegas for years and years, decades, and they have used the same testing since the beginning of the decade in contract with Las Vegas. 3 scheduled blood samples, and unlimited amount of urine analysis, why stop now? Manny wants it this way. However, Mayweather cries to the heavens for random drug testing, which, as 2nPac said, can be done at any effin time.

    This is just simply a ploy by the Mayweather camp, honestly, Mayweather didn’t pull this against De La Hoya, Hatton, or Marquez, but for a fight of “this magnitude” he makes an exception. Manny is still fighting no matter what on March 13th, whether or not Mayweather will take the fight will remain to be seen.

    Answer this: How many fights has Mayweather fought is USADA testing?

    Manny has fought all these blockbusters without this kind of testing. Why is Mayweather backing down? 12 hours before the fight would you like your blood taken? The reason manny wants the regular testing after is because, IF he did indeed take steroids or whatever it is, it will show and nullify the win because c’mon! steroids don’t go away in an evening.

    So I must say, Liam, you are being way too hard on Pacquiao. Mayweather needs to submit to regular testing. No matter what, testing is testing, and it will show up, steroids do not disappear from the system in three months, but what Mayweather is asking can effect the fight and training.

  • josh says:

    50 million is what he isnt going to get because of this> what a fool!

  • Unknown says:

    I agree with you Liam Santiago 100%. Olympic style testing is more rigorous than the drug testing performed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and other state commissions. It would involve random blood and urine testing before and after the fight. Nevada commission testing only tests urine for banned substances, once just before the fight and once immediately following the fight.

  • Gero says:

    Mayweather is scared… end of argument.
    Shame as this fight would have been the biggest of all time without a doubt. Floyd will have to find some other little guy to pick on now.

  • Amar says:

    you fool

    pacman said he will take a blood test, before the press conf and right after the fight. its the same thing, if pacman has taken anything everyone would know after the fight

    mayweather is looking for an excuse to duck pacman and he has found one. why cant mayweather follow the boxing commission rules

  • Perez Hilton says:

    This writer is an idiot. Pacquiao is willing to do the blood test before AND after the fight. If he’s taking anything it would definitely show because whatever stuff is in your body doesn’t leave your system overnight. Only blood test manny doesn’t want to do is the one close to the fight because he believes it harms his body. This is just a cop out for mayweather. His father set this up by planting the seed months ago with the steroid accusations. Did Ali ever have to go through this? Did sugar Ray get requested the same blood tests? No. Name any great fighter who went through such great lengths to have their opponent tested like this. Only Floyd. If you believe manny is the one ducking and not mayweather then you are delusional and an idiot.

  • chakyun says:

    Gather facts before you write. Mayweather is toying everybody, the fans, the promoter, the media especially Pacquiao. But his fanatic fans are blinded by it like you and M. Perez. Pacquiao agreed to this drug test but Floyd jr is asking for more. He is demanding every little detail and making Pacquiao to look like his puppet just to avoid this fight and blame it to Pacquiao. ENOUGH to Mayweather camps “dirty little tricks” and take SHANE MOSLEY or YURI FOREMAN. I said many times before, Li´l Floyd will avoid this fight no matter what. Remember what Leonard Ellerbee said, “it´s not gonna happen”. He doesn´t want to fight Pacquiao, that´s the bottom line! He can say goodbye to the millions he will earn to this fight. He don´t deserve it anyway. At least Shane Mosley is man enough to fight & honor the agreement. Pacquiao agreed to take blood test 30 days prior and after the fight. Mayweather is demanding days before the fight, because he is aware that Pacquiao is supertitious against taking blood closer to the fight, but Mayweather uses it as an excuse again. THAT´S MAYWEATHER LEGACY for you. HE IS A VAMPIRE! He is watching too much Twilight Zone. But again it´s useless to explain as long there are bias writers like you exist.

    Mayweather SR. is the one that need to be tested. I think he’s on cheap drugs.

  • Unknown says:

    Travis Tygart, chief executive of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, said a blood test can allow testers to detect use of energy-boosting synthetic EPO, human growth hormone and “a number of potent performance-enhancers not detectable in urine. . . . With a [30-day] window like that, you could dope to the gills and get away with it.”Pac is scared of needles? That is what Arum said and yet he has many tatoos .Mayweather, is willing to take the test, and if Manny doesn’t have anything to hide, he is only going to be raising suspicion by not agreeing.

    60-40 for pacquiao in exchange of bloodtest even everyday!

  • Daxx says:

    USADA should take blood test on mayfeather family everyday to make sure jr isnt cheating… remember hes the one with a zip loss!

  • Daxx says:

    maybe mayfeather is the one who uses HGH beacause he has no losses yet. USDA should test mayfeather everyday!

  • 2nPac says:

    Finally I’ve been waiting for Manuel Perez or Liam to speak up! Why should Pacquiao subject himself to harassment from the Mayweather camp? They keep insisting on the USADA because they’re allowed to take blood samples anytime! That means weighin fight night or five minutes before! That’s all just the usual psychological bs mayweather plays. Manny is willing to do it 72 hrs out. That’s 3 days! But Mayweather won’t go for it. What a buncha hate-mongers on here. Would u submit to multiple lie detector tests if you have never given a reason to be doubted? Yeah one or 2 tests is fine, but after that wouldn’t u feel like ure being harassed. Think about that! cause it’s the same idea!

  • Daxx says:

    i thought mayweather is the best. why is he afraid of pacquiao? harassing pacquiao will not work! dumb ass! mayfeather is scary cat now! hahaha!

  • Scotty says:

    The boxing world need to step up its screening. From now on, all fighters should have tighter drug testing especially Paccy. I doubt if even the Philipinos are going to back him up in this one. His girly claim that he doesn’t like to give blood is pathetic.
