Tim Bradley:No Drug Testing No Fight!!

[boliodogs]

If Bradley has already signed the contract and there was nothing in the contract about drug testing then I would blame Bradley for the fight being cancelled if he pulled out. If drug testing was in the contract then Bradley would have a right to pull out if drug testing was not going to be done. A fighter has to make his demands before he signs the contract. He can't add new demands after the fight is signed. I doubt Bradley will pull out of the fight even if no testing is done. It's a very big payday for Bradley and much more money than he could make with anyone else available right now.

If the contract is breach then Bradley stands to still make a load of money for doing nothing at all..Someone will be sued,and Bradley will have to be compensated for damages..This is of course if he has this in his contract..

My issue with this is that,he'd be out of the ring again with no dance partner..Which will suck tbh..

People comparing this to the Floyd Pac issue are a bit off base imo..This is nothing like that situation at all..Marquez and Bradley have both signed to fight each other(Pac and Floyd never signed anything)..If what Bradley say's is true it states that Vada and USADA were agreed upon to issue testing(Floyd and Manny never reach any agreement of any kind)..

IMO The Floyd Pac situation had blame on both sides,I never like talking about it cause it's such a tricky and touchy issue..

I'm not saying Marquez is on anything,but if he does not take the test and this fight is cancelled..IMO he is going to look very(very)suspect..

What kind of testing was agreed on for this fight?

From what I understand Marquez wanted USADA and Bradley wanted VADA..They agree to be tested by both..

I don't understand how this is a problem that came out a month after they compromised.
A week max... yea... but a month?

my picture is in the training section. i am 230 lbs and quite robust. in college was 235 and well below 10% BF naturally. i was turn your head jacked. i am still remarkably muscular. you don't hit 230 at 5'8" without knowing your way around a weight room. i have lifted weights for years. i would post it here but frankly i post my shirtless picture too often on this website full of dudes.

what marquez did at 38 and during a boxing training camp is completely impossible. if it were not everybody would do be doing it!

he didn't even put on close to 7-9 lbs, and you couldn't tell that anyway.


you're acting like hooking up with one of the world's experts on steroids is no big deal.

he has been working with memo for about 2 years that is a lot of time to get rip

People, including myself, are comparing the two from the simple standpoint that Bradley is asking for testing. If Marquez refuses, it's Bradley's fault.

I hope I don't have to say this, because I'm sure you caught on, but there's a tad bit of sarcasm here.

Now of course each situation won't be the same down to the specific details, but after being on boxingscene for several years, most people notice the similarities whether they like it, agree with it, or not.

Also, Pac and Floyd signed contracts several times, just different times from each other, in the early stages of negotiations. At least that's what the media reported late 2009.

Let's be honest though, Bradley is saying it's in the contract but he probably doesn't know the specifics of what is in the contract. Who will have had the contract drawn up? I'm guessing Bob Arum.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was agreed upon on words, but never written up and not there when he signed it.
