Good things. Hopefully, the money the Athletic Commissions get from penalty purses goes to these sort of venues. And with this type of testing getting done then the steroid issues will be put to rest since hopefully every boxer will get into it because it is just a simple physical checkup and it is for their health benefits as well. And this will also advance drug testing since the health care center is getting blood samples, x-ray scans, and all these materials that doctors and legitimate drug investigators will pickup these "performance enhancing drug." This reminds me of... wait for it... the Olympic style testing that Mayweather wants. At least this time, Manny Pacquiao can't argue with it because hopefully it will become mandatory. Case open for discussion.

that **** takes the poetry out the sport. should be like how it always was: if you're winning you are living the high life-- and if you're losing you'll end up on ******* or in jail or both. or dead. that's how it should always be.

It's free only during the 3 years study of the effects of boxing on the brain, what probably will happen is by the end of the study they will ban pro boxing in the state due to the shocking results

Scary thought, isn't it? I don't see them banning boxing when the NFL is still around!

Does this mean they will be able to know if Dirrell was a big fraud
