"I don't know where Dana is coming from, I never said anything bad about him. But Dana has to realize, because of the monopoly the UFC has, they pay their fighters maybe 20-percent of the proceeds that come in on a UFC fight and we pay fighters over 80-percent. So that's the difference, so talk about giving back to the sport, when you pay your talent 20-percent and boxing promoter's like myself and others pay over 80-percent, who's giving back to whom? It's very easy (to make network deals) when his athletes get paid nothing. Our athletes get paid but yeah, we're negotiating now with a major network to do boxing in prime time on the network."

kinda got a point with that... however UFC does provide alot of free shows..

bob has a point with the fighters pay and thats about it as far as the Mayweather Pacman fight honestly manny has agreed to random testing with a cutt off date of 30 days before the fight thats not so random his excuse is he doesn't like needles but he has tattoos

i know you didnt see that one coming but it wouldnt have mattered cause your chin was high and your hands down away!

I hate getting shots, Iv's, etc and Im covered in tattoos! There is a difference. A tattoo, done correctly, only goes in about 1/8 of an inch, that is far different from an intravenous needle. Besides if they make it mandatory for Pac-Man to be tested directly after the fight then I dont see a problem. He would be stupid to take anything within 30 days of a blood test.

Well said Tat. Im the same way. I hate IVs and pass out every time I have blood drawn but am covered in tattoos. Huge difference there. I have also never seen the problem with the test being directly after the fight. Having that much blood drawn even 30 days before a fight can have an effect on physical performance.
