    We're past that now.

    Let's live in the present. Floyd's in jail. Nonito stepped up the way no one has. Let's give him credit.

    Floyd started it, yes.

    But we're here now. Bob deserves some credit. Nonito deserves tons.

    I think it is you that doesn't understand the difference between world news stories and Google BS. The US feed the masses bs and you stand and salute. USADA has the same cast of chartacters as the USOC. You asked for proof of the USa covering up drug tests not for whether Jr failed. Knowing nothing about the world and wrapping yourself in the US flag is bliss .Your answer is to blame google. ROFL

    LOL, Bob is one clever mofo, he avoids sacrificing Pac vs Mayweather by acting like the extra testing was such a problem. Now he sees the trend that Mayweather started start to take up steam so he tries to now one up Mayweather and act like a pioneer.

    What does Bob deserve credit for? He hasn't done anything.

    Agreed:good Not that I believe Floyd when he said he started this whole movement to clean up the sport....but the end result has been great for the direction of the sport.

    It's just a shame Floyd used PAC's name to fuel this movement with the accusations people are still waiting for him to validate in some way.

    The financial impact may not be all that bad IF the entire sport can agree to incorporate this new measure of testing. The big time fighters can afford this by lets be real....less than one percent of pro boxers would be able to financial bare the cost of these kinds of testing.

    If the local and state commissions in the US can come to an agreement to choose an outfit like VADA or USADA to handle the testing for our sport...there might be a way to pay a flat fee.....a discounted flat fee where all the commissions would pay their share annually. That way the fighters wouldn't have to cover the cost.

    It should be at the commissions expense anyway. It's their job to protect the fighters.

    I'll give Bob some credit if the rat follows through with this......but I don't trust Big Bob as far as I can throw the old fat jew. After Saturday I have a lot of hesitation believing he had nothing to do with the robbery.

    Yea why would anyone look to promote a movement by using the biggest fight of the decade and possibly the most viewed and followed fight of all time as the platform.

    It only turned south because Bob and Roach got in Pac's ear to in order to use it as an excuse to get out of the fight.

    :lol: Don't take no notice of this ******. After the farce that was pac-bradley, he was all on twitter saying the rematch will do big business and both fighters will make millions and bradley was justified in his decision in ducking khan! I mean ok yeah bradley did well financially from ducking the khan fight but which reporter and fan of the sport blatantly support that move as it robs the sport of a big fight as well as the corruption surrounding the decision, yet Gaybriel ignores this and tries to justify the rematch and doesn't criticise Arum. A promoter who has been found out bribing officials in the past. He is hell bent on fighting this "war" on drugs in boxing yet turns a blind eye when the biggest robbery in the history of the sport took place just days ago. :thumbsup

    Well......I've always been baffled at the entire situation between Floyd and PAC. What should have been a fairly easy fight to make given the enormous amount of financial gain and exposure, turned into the worse business negotiation process in the history of man.:lol:

    I do believe that the drug testing demand which was a byproduct of all the accusations quickly deteriorated the foundation of the potential fight.

    1st off.....NO one who knows business would ever go about negotiating a HUGE deal like this fight by starting off with slander and/or accusations...

    The 2nd "no-no" would be to make these accusations without having the goods to support or validate use damaging claims against the other half of the business deal. There are legal obstacles for those who take this route.

    Lastly..... demands aren't the most logical way to secure a business deal, partnership or acquisition. Demands are a way to kill negotiations.

    Did you not read the news? Bob sounds like he is going all in with his stable. 365-24/7 VADA testing. I believe the majority of the fighters with him will do it if not all. Plus, the ABC will be involved as opposed to letting each state commission oversea the extra testing.

    This is all great stuff. This is what we all wanted, is it not?
