    Great thread.

    OSDT costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. It costs more for the tests than the total revenue of a Vargas fight.

    Get a life you creepy ****.

    it will cost around $200-400 each test according to tygart. so if floyd is really cleaning the sport as what he is saying, he could foot the bill for his own fighters as an example.

    Do you really buy the spin in the article? The lab part is the cheapest part of the test, dummy. Sending doctors, nurses, etc to all parts of the world, flights, expenses, salaries, etc make the tests more than "$200-$400 per test".

    And, nice try at the avy attempt to blend in. We all know those are two of the six fighters that you have ever watched. :deal

    Then you've missed my entire point about what Floyd said about cleaning the sport. I'm not making it up, he said that. I knw a lot of LOVE to use the sticking point, "Floyd hasn't changed his mind a dozen times like pac has" (as if Floyd insisting on not compromising means anything), well, his intentions have obviously changed. And it's intentions on the testing that have been questioned.

    And that's YOUR message, not Floyd's BTW. If he thought that, then why test the guys who aren't going to determine who's #1. But that's IF those were his message. It's yours.

    Where I'm going with that first paragraph is, testing only the top guys, or certain fighters, makes an inconsistent boxing world even more inconsistent. Like I said, it send the message, "We're only concerned about the health of the big purse guys..."

    WTF?! Who again said Pac CAN'T afford it? The rest of this is pretty pointless to address. It's not exactly a reply to what I said. Why would you think ANYTHING I said is excusing Pac? I really don't know where you get some of this stuff.

    When I said Who is Floyd...it might help if you read the whole sentence. I said who is he to put a $100K bill (if that's the cost) to a fighter for a test that's NOT even mandatory, required, or done by anyone else in boxing. Got that? That doesn't mean NO ONE can afford it. What I am saying is, if the test costs that much, that's an awful lot to put on the other boxer.

    Yeah, no **** I am. That's why I was able to see what pugi was doing. look, it's no secret floyd fans don't like to say certain things. He was obviously toying with reg to get something out. But as seen, he tiptoed around that one, going out of his way to 'Palin' an answer in. :D

    Floyd's reasons why he thinks Pac juices have pretty much been blown out of the water at this point.

    For one, they've been pretty much close to the same size thoughout MANY same ages. There goes floyd assertion Pac got HUGE all of a sudden.

    Another, Pac isn't knocking guys out left and right as Floyd says.

    And another...Pac didn't suddenly get good as Floyd also said. Pac had been a world champ at what, 21? Won another world title shortly after that?

    That leaves nothing but his paranoia put into his own head by his daddy. Is that really a surprise? It's been said Big Floyd used to talk **** to lil floyd. If you don't think someone with Floyd's fragile ego and insecurity would get spooked by his OWN father saying that, you're fooling yourself. that's ****ed up to hear from your own pops.

    Well, at least we've established that was an obvious lie, only said because of the suit. But when Floyd fanboys use that line again, I'm sure you'll correct them. :hey (don't worry, I will)

    Probably. But on a message board, not always easy to tell when one's not being serious. Boredom could have been a factor too. :lol:

    why would tygart actually lie about the cost of the test? you stated hundreds of thousands of dollars but you might be talking about the actual OSDT which takes year round and not this water-downed version of OSDT that floyd is talking.

    and just a question, do you actually believe that floyd is cleaning the sport? because if your answer is No, then this thread is not for you.

    Those are the costs to perform the lab tests and not the total costs of the program.

    How much does it cost to have people on call at all times to perform the tests randomly? Flights? Hotels? Hookers at the hotel?

    $6400 would be the cost for airplane flights for each person involved in the testing program. Think about it. 8 weeks. Hotels every night for people on call. Meals. Car. Salary. These aren't people making minimum wage.

    Floyd is not interested in cleaning up the sport but he wants the person to beat him to be clean. I personally don't see anything wrong with that as long as he is willing to undergo the same testing.

    The TS was being a dink and the agenda is crystal clear. Jumping in and agreeing with it makes you look like a fool. FYI
