BIG FIGHT DELAYED ????

Told ya we'd here something by mid week

It's obvious Pac's a doper and is scared to fight a fair one.  Why else wouldn't he just agree to same testing it's not a big deal if it's the same for both fighters.

so agreeing to three times of blood testing which is unnecessary anyways is being scared? what mayweather wants is to bleed pacquiao first before fighting him, as box as he is i would not be shocked if he specifically request the LEFT arm to be drawn blood from.

I talked to my source within the Mayweather Camp last night..I really don't know anything but I get the feeling that Floyd just won round 1. He's already under Manny's skin.

GO FLOYD

Tell floyds camp that we are not in the olympics!!

Wrong and uninformed...do some friggin research before making shit up.

taken from another forum, posted by a lawyer who represents athletes in cases brought against them by sports committees (supposedly)

The idea that he doesn't want to be bothered is a non-starter here. A urine test is a far more invasive procedure than a blood test. USADA testers come to wherever the athlete is, test the athlete when the athlete is ready and it takes all of about two minutes to complete. The athletes are free to resume training the moment the needle exits their skin and they're under no obligation to immediately stop training (or whatever) when the tester arrives. Urine testing on the other hand takes more than two minutes to complete; a trip to the bathroom, being exposed from mid-torso to mid-thigh and the watching eyes of a tester while you do the entire process. Unless you honestly believe that having some dude stare at your dick while you piss in a cup is less bothersome than someone taking blood from you, then there is no way Arum's plan can be characterized as less bothersome.

If time away from training is a concern, then there will be no difference between urine testing and blood testing. If performance is concerned, it takes about 3.5 hours to regenerate the amount of blood taken during a test and the athlete can resume physical activity immediately after giving the test. The only legitimate concern here, if you want to call it that, is psychological trauma to Manny Pacquiao from either needles or the sight of blood; given that he's a boxer, we're left with the former.

If you think honoring Manny's fear of needles is a legitimate tradeoff for not being able to properly test both fighters for HGH, then that is certainly your prerogative. I'm glad that much of the sporting and scientific worlds don't see it that way
