[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

2nd failed test! Don't care what the 2nd time was for cause I'm smoking right now but this kid showed no respect for the sport and got off easy IMO. It seems cause he's the son of a legend he thinks he's above the rules

Arum your excuse is restarted you cannot compare a fine in 2002 to a fine in 2012 that's like saying man I bought chips in 2002 and it was 25cents now there 50cent prices go up moron and boxers are getting paid way more

Wasn't big enough in my opinion. Biggest fight of his career. Fans making travel plans and filling the Thomas & Mack hoping to see two guys at their peak. Instead they got a Sergio who was out for blood and Jr. who had the munchies.
Should have taken his entire purse for the fight and banned him a year from the hearing for disrespecting the sport and cheating the paying public.

I think the athletic commission is insane... come on bro chavez smoked weed, weed! $900k w/ 9 months is insanity. If you support boxing on this case you side with the boxer.

adjusted for inflation, its really not that excessive

when did Arum become a Constitutional lawyer?

sit your ass down Bob

**** you Arum!!! You ****** piece of ****. Comparing something that happened 11yrs ago. Jr failed his second test, he shoulda been fined his entire purse.

It's not as if adjusting for inflation would have made a stark difference . $100k in 2002 adjusted for inflation is only $128k today.
