    Do you think it will sell like the Pac/Clottey did around 50,000? I think it'd be lucky to hit 30K mark. Floyd has to dance with someone with a good name or else it's gonna be another snoozefest and will only hurt boxing most....

    How can that be if he will only fight in vegas due to xylocaine not being banned by the nevada state atheltic commission?

    i thought a lot of mexicans lived in texas, a ortiz fight there as a tune up makes perfect sense, I hope he makes it.

    That was a rumor started by some idiot. Floyd has plenty of haters, so if you say something bad and it sticks, stupid people will roll with it without checking whether its true or not.

    Floyd's homebois at the WADA don't list it as one of their illegal substances.

    Ashamedly I've repeated this rumor before - and I'm a fan of Floyd.

    It's good to be corrected.

    Karma, then, eh?

    What's more important is whether he'll ask for testing for his next opponent.

    point is it's legal in more states than it is illegal

    The rumor's famous sticking point is that it's illegal in 48 states, supposedly having a few supporters makes it seem so bad. Floyd has fought in 7 different states ever since the public knew he uses it. 7 is much greater than 2, the number it's legal in according to the rumor, the rumored numbers don't even make sense.

    Didn't Floyd's xylocaine business start even before manny refused to take blood tests?

    I say he will ask. Dropping it suddenly after a 1.5year campaign makes it look weak. Their message has remained consistent with how all future opponents must test. This isn't some bull**** you can just retract without looking stupid.

    Floyd will never fight in Texas(100x). Xylocaine is illegal there.
    Remember Schaeffer backed out because of it.
