Did Goldenboy and/or Mayweather promotions require the fighters who fought on the undercard to the Floyd/Shane event to undergo rigorous drug testing?
I assume that they must have as they have stated repeatedly that they're out to clean up the sport of boxing. Since they themselves chose these fighters to help fill out their event they could have easily stipulated that these fighters undergo the USADA blood and urine testing.
However, if they didn't then what aspect of boxing do they wish to clean up? Do they only want their top tiered fighters and their opponents to be tested?
So how exactly does any of this benefit boxing or is it just that the Mayweather camp overplayed their hand and are trying to justify their insistence with drug testing?
I remember a few years back Oscar talking about a real boxing commission with medical coverage, pensions, etc... so perhaps testing would fall in line with that but I guess that got sidetracked when he started his promotion company.
I didn't know Canelo is signed to Mayweather Promotions, lol.
Drug testing is not cheap. The random testing cost over 40K. 40K per fight is a lot of money.
