Yep, Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer claims he and Mayweathers advisor came up with the stipulation to have both fighters tested by the USADA, and not Mayweather himself. They claim it's only to keep things on a level playing field and to be fair to boxing and the fans. Only problem is, the fans weren't requesting a stricter test nor were they accusing Manny of using. Maybe they are now with the media all speculating with every Mayweather alive talking, and now even ODLH is putting himself out there to speak on the matter. Now I'm all about implementing these rules for the future of boxing, but there's got to be a limit to it, before it becomes invasive. And if Golden Boy is all about having fair fights and setting a precedent then why aren't they setting these rules for Mosley-Berto? Mosley has after all been found to have used before, so why are they only concerned with testing Pacquiao? Maybe it's because Mosley is a Golden Boy fighter? Or maybe they're trying to set something else up. I mean think about it. Sr throws these accusations around the time of Mayweathers first fight out of retirement. He kicks it up a notch after the Cotto bout when the public demands a fight with Mayweather. Maybe a ploy to set up a Mosley-Mayweather fight? Pacquiao and his team is already willing to go beyond what is required of them as far as testing goes, so I don't see what the issue is? Do they really think steroids or hgh won't be detected immediately following the fight if a fighter is on it during the fight? In summary, when has Mayweather EVER cared about being fair, or what the fans wants? As long as he gets his money he doesn't care. Hell, he could even request in the contract to have Pacquiao forfeit half or all of his cut if he's tested positive. Yet, the Mayweather camp insists on multiple random tests as close as 2 days out from the fight, knowing that Pacquiao is not having that. If you want fairness, then be fair on all levels!
Golden Boy only wants to be fair?

amen brother.
clearly a propaganda and a play to defame the current champ's image.
this is the lowest of low in boxing right now -
I love how Goldenboy want a "level playing field" when they didn't give two ****'s about Marquez when Floyd went 2lbs over the contracted weight. What happened to level playing field then? One of your longest serving fighters who is a true warrior gets treated like garbage and doesn't get a level playing field and they hardly did a thing! Fact is, GBP just want to get paid.Comment

No matter how skilled you’re as fighter nobody once to be in their fighting with someone you believe to be cheating being aided by some illegal substance. I think pbf believes 100% that pac is on some kind of ped drugs and only way to prevent pac from cheating is random blood test.Comment
