claims he's superstitious & doesn't wanna mess up his training routine & do anything out of the ordinary before the fight... IMO that's a sketchy excuse at best... if he's got nothing to hide he should be willing to submit to a blood test, especially for a fight this big... if Mayweather's got no problem with it neither should he.
Man, that sucks... watch the fight fall apart.
is it a requirement that he take one?

i don't think so, since he's never had to take one before. Paq is very religious and very superstitious, I think he needs to give in and take this test though - can't let this thing fall apart.
not sure i agree. if its not a requirement then why should he feel the need to comply? other than public curiosity what else is there?
Not a requirement. Flips are very superstitious. If he has never done it before and is not required then he will not do it. Right now, they are doing pre and post urine tests during fights and he has passed all of them. It is good enough for the NFL then it is good enough for everybody.

if the pre post piss tests are the norm then he shouldnt be required to do anything else and this alone should not hold up the fight. nykb u hit the nail on the head.
hey im just saying that if the fight is going to get canceled because he wont take a blood test then he should submit one. boxing needs this.
^^^why would the fight get cancelled if he doesnt submit to an optional test?

if i'm mayweather, i bow out if the other guy won't take a steroids test.
why? isnt the pee test enough - thats the official test for boxing. why need to do anything more? sounds like bullshit from the mayweather camp

it could be BS, but they put paq on the spot. now if he refuses, it ain't on mayweather, it's on him. whatever the reason this test was asked for in the first place, it's been asked and now it appears paq has something to hide. politics and PR...the fight will happen and i wouldn't be surprised if it goes on without the test but a few extra mil in mayweather's pocket.

boxing has become a laughingstock....
my take is if you're not guilty then you should have no problem taking a blood test or whatever other test u gotta take... this is a huge fight with a ton on the line for both guys... no one will gain any advantage if random blood tests are administered... Paq is a great fighter & i happen to think he's gonna win this one, but Mayweather has a right to be sure that his opponent isn't on the juice before he puts his reputation & career on the line facing this guy IMO... urine tests aren't fool proof, they don't show traces of HGH use like blood tests do as far as i know... this is why the Olympics use blood tests & not urine tests for their athletes.
i get the fact that Paq being Filipino he's superstitious about this kinda stuff, but he needs to get over it... this is gonna be the fight of the decade, u can't treat it like any other fight.
That's a stupid excuse. Welcome to the 21st century. Superstitions, what's that, from 1350?? Come on, give break to me. Take away his titles.

because Mayweather's camp accused Pac of using PEDs and that camp could looking for an out
Mayweather is a great boxer butt he's never fought someone with the heavy hands, skills, and conditioning of Pac

thanks supreme. i guess it means mayweather is scared. i go back to my earlier post - boxing has become a laughing stock. with that said, i still wanna see these two go at it.

There is no question that Floyd is scared. He wants his payday but he wants it under his terms. I don't think Mayweather can beat Paq to be honest. I hope for the sake of boxing that this thing gets ironed and I seriously do not think Paq is roiding.
paq is a beast - if they fight, he's gonna destroy mayweather. mayweather is too much of a prettyboy imho....he needs to get his ass kicked for all the smack he talks and posturing he does....
i don't much care for Mayweather too & i hope Paqman kicks his ass, but i don't blame Mayweather for being suspicious or see the harm in giving a blood sample to be tested... i mean how much blood are we talking about here? is he gonna be donating for the Red Cross blood drive? i've donated blood before, some food & rest & i was good as new... i'm not training for no fight obviously but wouldn't just giving a vial of blood be enough to conduct a test? i'm not sure what it takes to conduct a blood test so someone enlighten me if i'm off on this.
