Should be mentioned too that there is no global governing body. Athletic commisions vary from state to state (for example, Texas would allow Edwin Valero and Margarito to get a license and fight when no other state would.)

So ok, let's say you get the big one (Nevada) to agree to impliment this new "Testing Tax" on the big guys like Top Rank, GBP, ect. What's to stop the promoter from saying "Ok, well instead of having Floyd vs Pac in Vegas where I'm going to lose a big percentage of my profits to this new tax, I'm going to hold it in New Jersey."

Let's say somehow you get the whole country to agree to it. What's to stop the promoter from holding his big fight in Mexico, England, or a big Canadian city like Toronto or Montreal? This is why the big companies set up overseas: to avoid taxes.

So instead of replying with a "DURRRHHH MONEY EXCUSE COP OUT COP OUT DURRRHH TAX THE RICH TAX THE RICH", why don't you tell me how we avoid this situation?
