Bob Arum says he wants blood testing for the upcoming Pacquiao Marquez V fight (if it's made). I don't know how Pacquiao's team feels, but his promoter definitely wants it. And it seems that Bob Arum calls the shots for everyone at Top Rank.
I think it's better to put pressure on the athletic commisions by implementing blood testing on the individual first. If Floyd would have gone to the commission first, Arum would have wanted the fight in Dallas. Dubai was also in the air for both fighters. You had to go through the fighters first I think.
Either way, I'm looking forward for a great 2013 in boxing. Some big fights are out to be made, let's hope we get to see them.-Nonito vs Rigondaeux and then hopefully they get their shit together and have Nonito Mares. -Most likely seeing Floyd face Guerrero in May and Canelo in September. If only a Martinez Mayweather fight would happen, that's really the only challenge left for Floyd-Broner cleaning up the division and moving up to 140 by the end of the year. Or if Broner can find a big fight in 2013, it should happen-Andre Ward being Andre Ward-If Marquez and Pacquiao face again, have it toward the end of the year at least. -Rios vs Danny Garcia would be fucking sick. Garcia, even though he does move, isn't that slick of a boxer. So when Rios puts pressure, Garcia will respond and I think it could lead to a fight of the year type of battle. But again this is Top Rank vs Golden Boy lol
Who cares if fighters use PEDs? Worried about the possible side effects? FFS they are taking blows to the head... Smoke a sherm stick before the fight for all I care, just put up a good one.
