Unfortunately for the big players trying to bid for the May-Pac fight, ever since the Hernandez fight where Mayweather suffered hand injury's he has had to resort to injecting Xylocaine (Lidocaine) into his hands before fights. The problem is Xylocaine is banned in most states except for Nevada. So there's no choice but to hold this fight in Nevada.
"Before the fight began, HBO’s Jim Lampley and George Foreman discussed hand injuries with references to Floyd’s recent hand problems. They said that Mayweather has been known to use hand-injected painkillers like Xylocaine, which is illegal in some states. Such painkillers could be more dangerous in the long term, since fighters with numbed hands hit harder since they cannot feel their hands at a time when they could be unknowingly damaging them."
