    i have posted this many times and nobody seems to listen to me or even awknowledge it so ill waste my time again.

    petitioning the commissions is virtually pointless, unless floyd has alot of political backing and has the backpockets of either several promoters or politicians, its not going to happen. This would endanger a ton of fighters/fights for alot of fighters who are likely either using/cheating in some way shape or form. Alot of fighters would be subjected to it and alot of promoters likley would do everything they could to try to stop it.

    Unless floyd has a heavy lobby or could potentially get power players like a harry reid to back him, its not going to happen. Things in boxing almost never change unless there is either a death, or heavy media coverage that forces them to do something. Floyd would need a ton of money and alot of political backing.

    Boxings commissions have some of the worst and outdating drug testing methods as have been pointed out by alot of sources in recent months. Promoters like it this way, it doesnt endanger their titlists and the money keeps coming in.

    alot of you dont know about vegas politics and the amount of corruption and underhanded garbage that goes on, this is especially true with the commissions. Floyd keeping this a thing for him and him only gives him not only the control, but its probably the only way it would actually get implemented. Boxing is never in a hurry to clean up anything.

              so you are trying to tell me that by Mayweather doing OST for the Pacquiao fight.. it will make them think twice about changing the testing methods? lol c'mon now.. If you don't petition the commission, no matter how many times he uses it in his fights, it's not going to change the norm.
              by Mayweather only using it in his fights.. it's not going to change the SOP of the Commission. So how exactly would he be "cleaning up" the sport?

              & I find it funny that you think you know more about Vegas politics than I, a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada going on 13 years now.

              If the Vegas commission is so corrupt and he doesn't want to deal with it.. why is he fighting here in the first place again?

                Has Abraham changed his commissions regulations by "leading by example" nope.. no he hasn't. Because in a business like this.. that doesn't work. Sorry..

                You got to petition the commission and put pressure on them to make it mandatory for all title fights. Something Mayweather, who is the OST drug crusader, is not doing.

                  Floyd's full of **** ! This all started because he was trying to do a mind job on Pacman, & when Manny & Roach told him to **** off he pulled out the fight. This has nothing to do with cleaning up the sport or anything else, this is because Floyd's bull **** back fired on him & now he is trying to give it " i,m on a crusade to clean up the fight game ! " Mayweather doesn't give a **** about the sport he is only interested in how much cash he makes from it. FACT !

                    without him petitioning the NSAC is already considering to change the testing systems as early as this Fall and thats the point right
