Im suprise the Boxing Commission hasn't told Floyd to **** off

[FLY TY]

C'mon Larry......this is just about showing Pac that he is the boss not the tests themselves and to the TS, yeah Floyd has basically implied that the commission is incompetent and can't do their jobs.....he is making them look like chumps and they haven't done jack frost about it.

money talks.

boxing is one of the only sports, where the participants themselves, have a lot of power, regarding the terms in which they compete. floyd always fights in nevada, and he's the "cash cow" of the sport right now.


you honestly think the NSAC would have the cahunas to tell him to "**** off, and go fight elsewhere"?

[Thread Stealer]

I'm not.

Big name fighters have in the past and continue to demand things in the contract that are outside the norm. The commissions are more concerned about the money that will come in for the big fights.

Why do you think the NSAC decided to re-consider the drug testing program? They want the Mayweather-Pacquiao to take place there because of the financial windfall.

Its a good point, if they do speak against him he could just go fight somewhere else bringing another city in another state revenue with all of tickets sold to the venue.

yep. it's all money.


while i believe floyd indeed wants to make sure the guys he's fighting aren't taking anything, i also agree with you, about the fact that it's also about "power."

[Easy-E]

So do you mean the Nevada State Athletic Commission?

Because there is no "boxing commission" that you speak of.

Even if we agree with it or not, I think we all know it's safe to say that this is a good idea for boxing. USADA doing random drug tests will stop a lot of fighters from even thinking about touching PEDs, HGH and other steroids.

Imagine if trainers weren't allowed to go into the opponent's dressing room and see them wrap the opponent's hands. Could you imagine how many fighters would be getting away by putting plaster in them? Anything that can clean up the sport and give that reassurance that both fighters are clean is a positive.

Whatever it is, the people that run boxing.

It wasnt about power in the beginning , it was in the first draft , it was just another thing on the table ,,,,,, what made it a power play , I will tell you Manny saying no , that had more impact on this than anything Snr said or anything anyone else has said ,,, if it was agreed on like it should have been nothing more would have come from it , but when Manny said no he brought the eye of world sport looking right at him .

yep. agreed.

the "cutoff" date is the power struggle right now.....but i believe floyd demanded the testing to make sure manny was clean.

you're right.

They need to tell Floyd to get in the ring and fight the little man under their rules or fuc(< off. They run boxing, not Floyd. Floyd is making them look real bad.

No single state commission "runs" boxing or any other sport.

His OSDT demand does not block any of their rules being followed, it simply adds to them. Get it? Its "additional" testing.

If it was less testing then what the commission required then they could have a gripe, but its not the case.

And what is the NSAC gonna tell Floyd? Take your fight elsewhere? LMAO !!!
