i hear that in order to get a good test specimen, they need to actually cut an artery.

we need a scholar to educate us on this....blob, can you confirm this?

I'm not familiar with boxing rules. How far does he have to pee to pass the test?

at a boy! see you found other threads to post to....club 10k watch out, here comes jones...

on a serious note (just for a sec i promise) - apparently they are talking about blood tests - they will both be subjected to blood tests not pee tests and the major issue is that mayweather wants them randomply and right before the fight whereas paq wants to stick to the traditional scheduled one pre fight and then the normal scheduled one after the fight is over.... its all nonsense if you ask me.

really dude? REALLY?

Apparently it doesn't have much to do with superstitions... Truly random testing means the test can be conducted at anytime. Pac doesn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night. He also doesn't want to be interrupted from his prefight routine in the few days leading up to the fight. All of which are logical--seems Mayweather's camp is warring a PR campaign

Then Mayweather is evil in this case. But Pac can squash all troubles by saying "here, here is my blood". Just provide a certificate and it squashes the opposition.

He's sticking to his guns over the terms and conditions, which is jsut good business. In my opinion, he already has quashed this by agreeing to a blood test immediately after the fight.
