“Still can’t figure why Manny won’t agree to the pre-fight testing under USADA regulations”
He won’t agree to have blood drawn immediately before the fight because he thinks it might affect his performance. He has agreed to have blood drawn immediately after the fight. No other professional boxing match has ever been fought under these demands. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is just scared of losing.
Here’s what boxingnew24 thinks about it:
But wouldn't the same also be true of PBF? And on what does he base his belief? Is there medical evidence that blood testing before a fight affects performance? Don't get me wrong - I'd love to see Manny beat him but his refusal to agree to this type of testing raises questions in my mind about his past performances, especially jumping up so many weight classes. The only way to prove he has nothing to hide is to agree to the tests
If this fight doesn’t happen, there should be an asterisk behind Mayweather’s record. He wants to stick with fighting past-their-prime “names” like De La Hoya. I’m surprised Mayweather hasn’t tried to set up a fight with Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
