    For the last time, Floyd does not have a contract with the undercard fighters. Therefore he cannot ask anything from them. He cant even force them to take a picture with him if they dont want to.

    But please stop making the same threads over and over...

    You would think boxing fans would be happy he is fighting Shane, but no...
    No it hasnt. Floyd just released a statement hes getting paid $60M. In floyds eyes, anyone who wont take OSTs is on PEDs or roids.how hard is it for him to pay the dirt poor undercards to take OSTs so he can get his point across?

    Not even one person on may 1 is doing OSTs except the main event. Its bull****, right?

      first of all, why are you so concerned with how he spends his money?


      second of all, camp pacquiao went from "we're not taking the tests," to w/in the last 24-48 hours, "we can find some sort of agreement on the tests," from freddie roach.....


      i'd say he has already gotten his point across.

          floyd doesn't promote any of the other fighters on his undercard. how can he enforce OST's on them?


          it's one thing to want them for your own fight, it's a completely different thing to force OST's on a fight you having NOTHING to do with. keep hating.
          haha so what sport is he trying to clean up? the sport of floyd may boxing??

          obviously noone gives a fuuck about floyds OST. you gotta realize its his way to save face, he pitched it to shane hopin hed turn it down too but it backfired and shane accepted. now hes got nowhere to go.

            Did he even attempt to convince GBP to make their fighters to do OST? i dont think so. cuz why? floyd dont give a fuuck about anyone but himself. stop claimin hes cleanin up the sport.

            “Im headlining the fight, you don’t wanna take the test, you don’t fight in my undercard. Im cleaning up the sport of boxing, baby! I don’t want dirty fighters in my event” simple as that. U *****s are undestimating Floyds bargaining power too much.

                he could be hoping everyone notices, and decides to follow suit...he's only one man, and only promotes one man. seriously, how much can he do alone, except at least request it for his fights?

                as for him trying to "convince" GBP......he did obviously. shane is taking the tests, it has been publicized on the 24/7. shane has seemingly not been adversly affected, and has even gone so far as to say, "he could do it everyday," and "it's good for the sport."

                if GBP wants to add the testing to their undercard, it's THEIR call....not floyd's.

                  But posters are NOT claiming that he is cleaning up the sport.

                  Posters are claiming that he is cleaning up his own fights.

                  You are inventing arguments that havent been made by anyone.

                  Whether he asked GBP to have OSDT for THEIR undercard or not, I have no idea. But I see that in your imaginary world you were at the negotiating table and know everything that went down. You should asked Floyd to do it there and then, I suppose.

                    He shouldn't be making other fighters do it in their fights, thats not his job, he can only request it for his fights and hope others follow suit. Or that the commission picks it up...

                    either way, this topic is soooooooooooooo overdone

                      All Floyd is doing is telling these guys, you have a choice. Its not his place to tell the next man what to do, but he's showing them it can be done.
                      If the next man chooses to do it, fine. Plus its kinda hard to put a guy not financially set in that position. Say the other guy is dirty, that kills the fight along with the payday.

                      Its like all these guys saying they'd fight Pac with no test, they clearly see the money and not the point. I'm sure they know what's up, but they'd risk it for the money.
                      Floyd is at a different point in his career, he's been around and seen what goes on I'm sure. Just like these other fighters have seen what goes on, but they aren't there yet.

                      Its like this
                      You have 10 girls to choose, 3 want safe sex for 100 bucks, the other 7 will give you 10 mill to go raw. But 4 of the 7 are infected. Choose one.
