WTF is PBF demanding w/ those Blood Tests???

[InTheNeutralCorner]

It's not that it was placed on manny's shoulders. What I'm saying is he could have chosen to take it on and elvated himself further. He chose not to. That frustrated me.

But if he has chosen not to and not elevate himself further, so be it.

It's not up to the boxer to clean up the sport. That's what the boxing commissions should be doing. You should be frustrated with them.

[Hornfinger]

I disagree. It is up to the boxers.

If the boxers didn't fight for all these silly titles we wouldn't have all the ludicrous sanctioning bodies.

The commisioning/sanctioning bodies only have the amount of power the boxers are willing to give them.

If boxers go on strike and stop boxing then you have no comissioning bodies and the whole sport folds.

Marco Antonio Barrera had the right idea by not paying sanctioning fees on his titles and that's why he kept losing them out side the ring. If all fighters did that we could get rid of all these champions and get back to the good old days when there was one recognised champ per weight division.

All commisioning bodies care about is money. Not the sport. For example Nevada won't do anything to jepodise all the big fights coming to vegas.

By refusing to do things or insisting to do things boxers can change the sport for the better. They probably don't realise this.

Pac has more clout than most at the moment because he is the the biggest revenue generator.

We are now going into the dirty politics behind boxing. And you are now blaming all the boxers but putting most of the responsibility on Pacquaio.

Do you really expect them to go on strike? Do you think if Pacquiao calls on the boxers to go on strike to clean up the sport that they would all listen? I don't think he can even convince his own countrymen to do this. They would just tell him that it's easy for him to say this because he had already earned millions.

Boxing is not like some team sports (basketball, football, baseball) where they can easily unite and have a single voice since they have union representatives. Boxing is an individual sport and one boxer can not speak for the rest.

Yes we are going into the dirty polloticks

Nope I'm not blaming the boxers

And nope I'm not lumping it all on pacquiao. You're back in pactard territory, taking what I'm saying out of context and to rediculous extremes.

As I said in my post (me repeating things for you again!?) '....boxers can change the sport for the better. They probably don't realise this.'

Boxers can change the sport. But first they must realise they can and then they have to decide if they want to or not.

If your statement that "If the boxers didn't fight for all these silly titles we wouldn't have all the ludicrous sanctioning bodies." isn't blaming them, then what is it?

Another statement of yours: "Pac has more clout than most at the moment because he is the the biggest revenue generator." That's putting more responsibilities on Manny, and I didn't say "all".

As I said in my post (me repeating things for you again!?) '....boxers can change the sport for the better. They probably don't realise this.'

Boxers can change the sport. But first they must realise they can and then they have to decide if they want to or not.
And how do you think the boxers will be able to decide to change the sports? Go to a big boxer conference/meeting and come up with a solitary position on how to change the sport, then put it into action as a collective?.

What you are insinuating is easier said than done.

You don't know what you are talking about. Every time you try to say something intelligent, it makes you look like an idiot.

The commission is the governing body that licenses the fighter, enforces the rules, insures the fighters health and protects the fighters from getting screwed over by the promoters. The only time they get involved with the money is for dishing out penalties otherwise money is not an issue. Fighters have no collective power over the government. They get no benefit from a big fight verses a small fight.

HAHAHAHAHA So where does their money come from? The tooth fairy? Or do you think their people work for free? You're not an economist are you? And you're calling me an idiot? Way to go retard.

Also the commisions are doing an excellent job caring for fighters health with their out of date, stone age, crap, can't detect fuck all, half arsed urine testing.

This is tooo fucking easy. You uneducated retard.

It can only come from tax payers if the sport is producing taxable revenue. Which of course in the state of Nevada it does, because of all the gambling etc.

IF the major fights in the sport were to be taken from Vegas the state of Nevada would lose alot of revenue would it not?

So it's in the best interest to keep boxing in vegas. Implementing things like blood test could well scare certain fighters off. Infact I'm 100% sure it would. You're probably too much of a retard to see this though. For that I forgive you.

The fact that you don't seem to see that the sport is all about making money shows me what a dick you are.

Like I said you don't know what the fuk you are talking about. I told you to STFU! but you insist. Where do you get you information from? What are you like 12? because the shit you write seems to be plucked out of thin air! If you post something that pre-supposes fact then attach the link that supports that fact otherwise STFU!.When you are old enough to take a class on how government works, I suggest you enroll if you are going to continue to make statements about how things work.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission is a state government agency. It is funded by the state. Notice the website is a ".gov" not a ".com" or ".org" very unlike the sanctioning bodies. It was created by the Nevada legislature in order to regulate combat sports. The funding is voted on and approved by the legislature. In fact the commission has lost it's out of competition testing funding started in 2006.

In General when government agencies collect money, unless the money is specifically directed to be used by the agency for a specific purpose, it goes into the state treasury and not into the agencies fund. The rules are created this way so that a conflict of interest is not created, which is exactly what you implying about the NSAC.

See hornfinger, I told you I'm not the only one who calls you that.

And you have made several statements here where you don't know what you're talking about.

[mafiajoey]

And you guys believe if Manny said 2 weeks that this was on paper and Floyd refused? I want proof. These guys need to put this shit on paper.

But as far as testing If you go over to the "Off topic" I love how Marbleheadmaui has a different approach when it;s not Manny.... lol
