Even if Mayweather did something illegal, does it even matter?

    Aren't there PED abusers in the HOF now. Off the top of my head I know Tyson has admitted to PED usage although I think the only banned substance he's been caught using is weed. Toney has been caught outright of using PED's & punished & I'm 100% sure he'll be in the HOF.

      I don't think Floyds HOF resume would even be attempted to be questioned by anyone with a vote.

      For fck sakes half of UFC's HOF roster has been busted for PEDs.

        But to honestly answer the question Floyd should pay a hefty fine in the 9 figures, plus have many of his fights turned to NC. Plus be barred from being inducted in the HOF.

        Anyone who doesn't think Floyd cared about legacy is crazy, he just knows he doesn't have do much to be inducted and be considered an all time great.
        Not sure whats so wrong. 1)Floyd hasn't been caught using any legit PED its just a IV that he needed a TUE due to the amount being used 2)lol at people protesting this. Oh noes people on a internet forum iz mad. smdh & lmfao.

        Legit question, Has anyone had a fight changed to a NC or fined for a IV previously?

        LOL @ banned from the HOF. Toney will be in the HOF. Tyson is in the HOF. RJJ will be in the HOF. Tarver is gonna be there. Mosley will be in there. The HOF could open a PED wing at some point in the future with all the exceptional boxers popped for or admitted to PED usage.

          A bit of a understatement. He took 750 of IV fluid when the suggested amount is 50? And the appropriate body didn't allow him to do it.

          There is enough controversy in the first fight that it should be void now and a rematch given. Floyd might be given a fine or give compensation in some form.

            fine him?... he's worth like 800 mil
            ban him?... he's retiring
            tarnish his legacy?... he doesn't fight for legacy
            strip his belts?... belts only collect dust
            If he was cheating, and evidence of that comes to light, it opens him up to massive lawsuits, both from viewers, from pacquiao, etc...

            It could be quite damaging financially.

            For example, Lance Armstrong was ordered to repay $13 million in bonuses from one company alone.

            And he has a pending $100 million dollar fraud lawsuit being filed against him from the US government, off of $32 million in sponsorship earnings. Because fraud damages can be trebled. Meaning you can sue for ~3 times the damages.

            So just off the Pacquiao fight, if it came out that Floyd was doping, he could face up to a $900 Million lawsuit. To bring that into perspective, Floyd's career earnings to date are $420 million...

            If you look at the big picture, it could ruin Floyd.

              In the landscape of the universe it doesnt matter, even mankind doesnt matter.

              When it comes to boxing though it does, Floyd will never be remembered as a great fighter, but as a cheater. (and woman beater of course)

                  Is that equivalent to racist cops shooting unarmed civilians in the back and people rooting for them as if nothing illegal occurred?

                  You can make a case for every circumstance ... so why even go there???
