Comments Thread For: Ellerbe, Koncz Trade Verbal Shots Over $5 Million Fine

[ReIoaded]

How can you trust this Ellerbe/Mayweather camp if they do not believe in cleaning the sport. They have been accusing Manny Pacquiao using drug for so many years. Today Manny Pacquiao is requesting a 5 million dollar fine for the two fighters if caught positive with illegal drug. Ellerbe is so concerned about Manny Pacquiao's request ...what is Ellerbe worried about if they are not planning anything dirty.

They're not worried at all. They have Memo Heredia. Nothing to worry about with a master of his craft like that in your gym.

This is what I think.

The 5 million dollar penalty was just a publicity move to reassure people that Manny is clean.

Ellerbe or whoever saw it as an opportunity for more mud slinging and took advantage of it.

Publicity stunt over publicity stunt...

(...This much I can understand...)

But true liabilities must be settled in a court of law... still...

From what I read, this would be from WADA downwards. The fighter would inellgible to fight under any professional athletic commission. Basically, the end of their career unless they fight underground for peanuts.

you mean if one is found or both are found to be positive on banned substance USADA can cancel the fight or the 4yrs ban penalty will take effect right after the bout?

if both are found to be positive with banned substance in their system?

and USADA both banned them effective immediately.

can someone sue someone for the lost revenue?

Thank God I'm not a lawyer because if I were a lawyer the closest I could get to participating in these discussion would be the occasional instgram of myself letting all my followers know my law profession afforded me seats to the biggest fight in history.

Of course they can: the TV, the advertisers, their own promoters...

USADA won't cancel the bout if someone is caught dirty.

Anderson Silva tested positive for PEDs and USADA did not announce he was dirty until after the tickets and PPVs were sold.

I'm not a Mayweather's fan boy... Did anybody sue them?
