    I honest don't care.

    Personally I'd remove all regulations on PED's and whoever wants to take them, can take them. The only form of cheating I would classify as cheating is what Margarito did, using weapons other than your physical.

    Less headaches for everybody. With two steroid or HGH users, one is still gonna be the better one.

      Is just a dollar I don't care.

      I mean why not keep keep the PPV lets say 49.99 or 54.99 like it usually is. Have them take a dollar off that so basically we paying 48.99 or 53.99. I mean what is the difference.

      Is that what he is saying of doing? Or is he saying that we have to pay 50.99 and 55.99. I mean how greedy does these mofo's want to get?

      And, would it be OST for the main even only or for the whole card? I mean if we going to pay extra even if it is a dollar everybody should get OST even the non televised undercard. Fucking greedy bastards.

            Exactly. Who ELSE do they think would pay for it?

            The only other way to fund that is to add a $1 tax to every hotel room bill (or similar) in Vegas. That's how they fund new arenas and stadiums.

            I flew in to Dallas, and rented a car. Three days @ $25 per day. When i returned the car, the bill was $120. WTF is a "concession recovery fee"? Oh, tourists get to pay for the American Airlines arena and the JerryDome.

              Did you see what he said? ONE big fight can fund years of tests.

                sure why not, it's just 1 dollar... but why stop there?


                -add another dollar for the referee's sobriety test

                -add another dollar for the judges' vision check

                -another dollar to make sure no suicide bombers are present during the fight

                -another dollar to make sure all the hookers the fighters rented/about to rent are clean

                hey, it's all about cleaning the sport!

                    The money's there. It's just a matter of priorities. Let's take the Mayweather/Mosley fight. They did 1.4 million PPVs. Adding a $1 dollar 'integrity and sport contribution' onto the PPV fee, could've generated 1.4 million dollars. That's enough money to effectively run an anti-doping program for 5 years. And that's just from 1 PPV.
                    Here's another option. If you catch fighters cheating, they get fined and suspended, use those fines to pay for anti-doping.
                    I am all for testing, but its not my duty to make sure they are tested. All these bull**** fees for belts, thats where the money should come from. And fine cheaters as you suggested, which will in turn make people not cheat and they would still need a viable solution to paying for it.

                    Once again, I dont feel its my duty to pay for good testing when the commission should get off their asses.

                      i voted no but not because of the reason posted. I don't think the cost should be passed on to the fans who are aready paying enough for a pay per view. Its not the $1 that matters, its the principal of it.
