NYSAC looking to upgade drug testing policy

edit

 

Im speaking more on mega fight terms, you wont see mayweather or Pac fighting in NewYork.

 

Good news. The more rigorous the testing, the better. If New York do it, hopefully the other commissions will follow their example.

 

.......and how did Mayweather go about trying to get better testing for this fight?

I'll advise you that the stipulations written on the preliminary contracts for Olympic style testing was a private matter between the camps......

The only reason this matter went public is because Pacquiao refused the stipulation. Had he agreed to them, the additional testing would only have been a non-fanfare sidenote to the matchup......and there would have never been the big chaos that ensued for Pac's refusal to test.

Newsflash.....this issue was made a big deal only because of Pacquao's refusal.



......and I'll have you know that Mayweather did go about it the right way, because if he had'nt done what he did, I guarantee you the NYSAC would not be talking about upgrading their drug testing policy this very moment.



Rock, you're applauding the NYSAC's looking into better drug testing.....time to give Mayweather a just a little bit of credit for getting the ball rolling.


Like it or not, if boxing moves in the near future for better drug testing.......history will point to Mayweather's episode with Manny Pacquiao as the reason the change was implemented!dealdeal

 

financially, that's just impossible. the drug tests will cost more than some of the boxers purse, and it'll just destroy the little shows. at worldclass level it can and should be implemented.

 

Is it bedtime in the Philippines?

 

:yep

 

I imagine the policy will go like this, for all fights containing a top 10 fighter random blood drug testing will be implemented from the time the commission is notified of the fight to the time the fight takes place. At top 10 most of those guys situated there are pulling in at least $50K a fight if not much more.

 

Lets see if more follow if they pull this off

 

This will be interesting if they go it alone. If they start to lose fights, which I think they will, then we will have some gage on how big the problem is.

 

It's hard to give a guy like Floyd the benefit of the doubt. He's always going to be public enemy #1. I agree that he should've done a better job with his cause. Perhaps if he had held a press conference and addressed the drug issue and made a disclaimer the fans would have a better understanding of where he's coming from. But still, I see nothing wrong with leveling out the playing field at the negotiation table. I happen to think charging someone $10 mil (way too much money) for every pound over the weight limit isn't any less outrageous than Floyd's request. If he's willing to undergo the tests himself, he's telling the public he's a suspected drug user just as much as Pac. I think most people are being a bit over-sensitive about the issue. Couple that with Floyd's history of being crass and you have a nice hot bowl of hostility.

I don't get why it's for New York?

 

That's only the NYSAC.

All the commissions should pull their socks up and do something to standardise the approach.
