If Dana in this case is jawing about Floyd demanding olympic style drug testing and why then I whole heartedly disagree with him. Boxers are independent contractors who fight on a contract by contract basis. They dont fight for an organization like the UFC they are left on their own to protect their own interests.

If fighters can stipulate glove styles and ring sizes in a contract, than I see nothing wrong with enhanced drug testing. If we learned anything from Balco, its pretty obvious that steroids and performance enhancements are far removed from the Schwartzenegger days of the 70's and 80's. so a whizz quiz isint going to cut it anymore and has been outdated for atleast 15 plus years. With a whizz quiz you are going to catch the small fish of the boxing world who dont have the resources for the big time stuff and the specialist to map out the schedule and formulate for their specific body. For the big time guys who have the resources a whizz quiz is like trying to catch a sword fish with a bass rod.

I am pretty leery of a fighter who wont get blood drawn for the biggest fight and legacy along with over 50 million dollars a piece.

Unfortunately I feel the same way.... The mess between Pac and Mayweather, the two biggest names in boxing right now, makes a mockery of any plans to keep this sport thriving on into the future... When this nonsense can literally go on for years and years and they still may never fight... If boxing can't get itself together and put on this number 1 fight that fans what to see, it's difficult to argue with people who say it's a dieing sport and every day growing more irrelevant...
Not saying it is... But the fans come a long long long second place when other sports like UFC aim to offer fans all they could want plus more..

Diz where are you. Happy birthday man!

Whenever I think about Floyd and Paquiao and the huge, colossal, fantastic, mega payday they let get away I laugh and laugh.
Floyd thinks of himself as Mr Slick and Manny wants us to believe he just wants to give the fans a good fight, but they couldn't get together to make millions and give the fans what they wanted. BULLSHIT!

I like Dana White too, and he has done a fantastic job with the UFC, possibly the only person who could have gotten it done, but I don't trust him.
Remember when White said, "The WEC is dead, I killed it." He claims to love boxing and says there is room for both, but I doubt his honesty.
That's all I'm going to say except this. The UFC is like a huge snowball rolling down a hill, collecting things. Who knows what or who it might pick up, eventually?
