How about anything where both fighters earn over 100 grand?
Which test? These things are always changing. The best test right now won't be the best test 10 years from now, but 10 years from now the price of today's test may be 1% of the cost.
I don't support any type of government mandated testing, but I do see your point and I think the larger the fight the more fans will support both sides agreeing to stringent testing.
People think this is so cut and dry and it really isn't. Drug testing (especially for cutting edge detection) is extremely expensive. If it costs $10,000 per fighter to get the newest most accurate reading would you support it for a 4 round undercard in a 300 seat venue?
I completely understand having the best testing for bigger fights. It makes perfect sense and the cost is worth the reward. For the lower tier fights? Not so much.
Do you know how much extensive blood testing costs?
The price to do these tests ain't cheap, and for most low-level professional bouts the costs for the tests would exceed the purse for the fight.

or, just make it a part of the licensing fee based on a percentage of how much the fighter earns.
Thats where sanctioning fees should go.
Yes of course they should...
If you say no or don't care then you not a boxing fan...

Cheating the tests
Athletes seeking to avoid testing positive for doping use various methods to cheat on the drug tests. The most common methods include:
Urine replacement, which involves replacing dirty urine with clean urine from someone who is not taking banned substances. Urine replacement can be done by catheterization or with a prosthetic penis such as The Original Whizzinator.
Diuretics, used to cleanse the system before having to provide a sample.
Blood transfusions, which increase the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity, in turn increasing endurance without the presence of drugs that could trigger a positive test result.
Drinking lots of water the day before and up to the drug test itself
i actually thought this was in place till all this manny crap started
it should be done for all sports, silly not too
why? simple so people don't cheat
this is not about pacman or pbf do you guys think that boxing should have random blood testing for all fights?

I voted no, if you are referring to the additional blood test that is not required by the boxing committee.
no i was asking do you think the commision should add random blood test to the rules
Especially in a sport where an unfair advantage results in a life or death situation.
Yea it would be disapointing for someone to have to be seriously injured or even die before something is done on this matter.
Sadly that is probably what will have to happean for there to be any real movement on the issue, and it is something that totally could be avoided.
Good points you've got there. I were about to write something similair. It's really ok to do random tests at prof level. Pacquiao, PBF, Mosley and so on are rolemodels for kids, and really cheatin ain't okay.
