    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but you caused me to rethink my stance. I in no way consider weed performance enhancing but like Ellerbe stated there are expectations of acting as professionals.

    To hurt their own card and set back their own fighters who were cleared by the commission is a strong stance. It could just be looked at as a cheap opportunity to set an example but a statement is made.
    I'm completely serious. I think Mayweather is a pioneer within the sport. He's taking the power from greedy promoters and putting it in the hands of fighters and he's fighting steroid and cheating corruption. People just don't see it because they are jealous of him and hate him.

    I agree with you, but you could have left that last sentence out.
    I don't think it's jealousy or hate as much as mistrust or doubt about his true feelings. To be honest, my first reaction was. Hmm...so Floyd is saying he never lights up, never smokes a joint, never takes a puff, not even a little, teeny weeny hit.
    I think Floyd is making a statement about the right time and the right place, and that it won't be allowed at the wrong time or the wrong place.
    I don't know Floyd, at all, so maybe he never has.

    Suspends them means they will be back, it is not as if he has sent them to Top Rank. It sends out a positive and strong message that they need to take the sport seriously.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's not about Policy Enforcement. If they wanted to make a real statement, the'd would drop them as a fighters. It's really about getting Attention and usually a premise for something else. The same ploy as Floyd's persona. Politicians do this all the time to grab the spotlight. Just as Mc Donalds has already proven that advertisement sells except advertisement is a direct approach.

    It is a bad and illegal habit that should not be encouraged for young athletes.
