    Default Re: Floyd Mayweather JR / Manny Pacquiao - NEWS STREAM - If Positive- Test = 4yr ban

    If either fighter tests positive it seems there will be more than 5 million dollars to pay. No fight (with all the money that is worth) and a four year ban. Which at their respective ages would surely equal an end to their careers

    "Travis Tygart, the chief executive of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, said a positive test would kill the May 2 fight, where the total purse likely will be more than $200 million. It also would subject the fighter who tested positive to a potentially career-ending ban of four years from competition.
    “If there’s a positive test prior to the fight, the penalty for the fighter who violates it is going to be a lot higher than $5 million,” Tygart said Friday.
    Both fighters signed agreements for the USADA to oversee drug testing for the May 2 fight that will be boxing’s richest ever. Mayweather is expected to make at least $120 million and Pacquiao $80 million for the much anticipated bout"

    Official says penalty for positive test by Mayweather or Pacquiao is severe

    Manny has a munch. The Filipino star shares a family feast


    "Manny Pacquiao has been training hard recently, so it’s hardly surprising he replaces the many thousands of calories he burns with a big feast.
    The Filipino star looked relaxed as he took his mind off his upcoming $300million (£200m) mega-fight against Floyd Mayweather Jnr with a family meal.
    It’s a little over six weeks before the duo go head-to-head in Las Vegas and the 36-year-old has again stepped up his training in recent days, this time sparring for the first time with partners Edis Tatli and Kenneth Sims Jnr."

    This prohibited list http://www.usada.org/wp-content/uplo...ed-list-en.pdf

    At first glance one would think this poses a problem for Floyd's use of Xylocaine. The list now has a statement that limits the use of any substance, not approved, rather that only those on the list.

    Here is the beginning statement:

    S0. NON-APPROVED SUBSTANCES
    Any pharmacological substance which is not addressed by any of the subsequent sections of the List and with no current approval by any governmental regulatory health authority for human therapeutic use (e.g drugs under pre-clinical or clinical development or discontinued, designer drugs, substances approved only for veterinary use) is prohibited at all times.

    So after reading that, what? Say Floyd uses a pain killer during the fight. A positive test only shows after up after the fight, which leads to the conclusion of no liability for lost income. Does USADA have any the legal authority over the purse? I don't think so. In fact, I think the only thing they can do is recommend based on what the rules say to the governing body. I think only the Boxing commission has the legal authority. I'm guessing if the above scenario actually happened, Only a ban would be enforced and a fine imposed. I doubt any fine would amount to more than $5 million and a civil suit amount to nothing because there is no loss of income, unless shows the outcome of the fight was affected and earnings potential was loss.

    Good Catch! How ridiculous would that be? No penalty and just a ban and then the immediate rematch takes place in Macau, where the USADA and The adhering athletic commissions have no authority.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Great article by Kevin Mitchell (no not that one) The Guardian's boxing writer on the intertwined relationship that God and Sport (in this case Boxing) has in America. For British fight fans this is an essentially bamboozling state of affairs, in which very little sense is made in explaining the relevance, in what is surely the most secular of pursuits. Violence in the form of prize fighting, in pursuit of indecent amounts of monetary wealth.

    Mitchell

    "God, like everyone else who can get a ticket, is coming to Las Vegas. On 2 May, surrounded by the usual cast of sinners, he will hear his name invoked again in a boxing ring, American sport’s altar to excess. If he wins, Floyd Mayweather Jr will interrupt the TV interviewer (sadly it won’t be Larry Merchant) to, “thank God and my team”. If Manny Pacquiao wins, he will raise his hands to the heavens and give thanks. These are the rituals of the fight game, especially in Vegas, where Godliness is next to the cash machine, and Floyd and Manny will do the tradition proud."

    That's just the face value prices.
    All of these tickets will be sold on to various sites before they go on sale then be sold for way more than this 😉
    Exactly the same scam they did with Froch v Groves 2
