Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Wants Drug Testing, Chavez Jr. Rejects It

[brick wall]

Haha that would be hilarious, and then he will reject the fight with Ward because he's with Conte and doesn't want Olympic style drug testing too.

they (martinez's team) already rejected a possible fight with ward...he's too small for ward according to them.

[Roman Moreno]

why are we still living in the "pacquiao is refusing extra drug testing" times, when pacquiao has agreed to the extra drug testing?

by the way, who's gonna pay the 80,000?

What is that number for?

Martinez: "..junior, either you submit to these tests or im taking my 17 fans elsewehere"

Chavez Jr: "...sounds good to me...phew!!"



wacked

Yeah ultimatums don't work too well on a guy not crazy about fighting you in the first place (and who can make millions fighting far easier opposition.)

Oh that's right I forgot about that

It will be like a Klitshcko vs Martinez according to Lou, even tough Ward is just 6 feet tall, to the 5'10 of Martinez...

yeah it will be something like Lennox vs Tua haha

That being said -- and even though I question Mayweather's motives -- I do think blood testing is good for boxing. It won't be a staple of big fights until someone figures out how to pay for it -- USADA testing costs about $80,000 -- but making sure a violent, potentially deadly sport is clean is a good thing. Here's hoping that the commission's get on board with this type of testing.

i feel that strongly about the fight being made...as a fight fan, that's all i care about


sergio wants a payday really bad, he gets a shot, then he gives Jr (who doesnt really want the fight) a reason to back out


you guys are into bickering about drug testing and filibustering the whole thing while in the big picture, there's no fight


yea, i KNOW you guys love that

That is USADA/WADA. The agency that Martinez wants to use is VADA. Which is much cheaper than USADA/WADA. Much cheaper, more cost friendly. That is why I find Ward excuse of it being too expensive being laughable. The same agency that Martinez is asking for(VADA) is the same agency that will handle the testing for Alvarez-Mosley and Berto-Ortiz II testing. Again cheaper, but from what I know just as good if not better than the one Floyd uses in USADA/WADA. Not sure how true it is but I have read that VADA test for things that USADA/WADA doesn't and it's more thorough than USADA/WADA is.

Also boxing people run VADA. Like Dr Margarette Goodman. Who use to work for the NSAC.
