"Big events are the economic engine that drives boxing. Canceling a mega-fight, particularly at the last minute, will result in tens of millions of dollars in lost income.
For that reason, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that, in certain instances, if a fighter tests positive for PEDs before a fight: (1) his opponent should have the choice of proceeding with the fight or not; (2) if the fight takes place, the fighter who has tested positive should forfeit 50 percent of his purse; and (3) the fighter who has tested positive should be suspended for a minimum of one year after the fight with the suspension being recognized by every jurisdiction in the United States." http://maxboxing.com/news/other-boxi...-mess-part-two \ Last edited by KRAFTSMAN; 12-05-2012 at 06:33 PM. |

Berto's and Peterson's fights are not even considered "big events" let alone megafights, yet they're bold enough to juice knowing that promoters will not likely to cancel the fight. Someone will take care of it. |
