It will be privatley enforced by boxers who have enough money to give up $20,000 in purse money for their fights. Some fighters would have to give up 50% of the gate just to get this testing.....that's not going to happen.

Nevada State Athletic Commission considers blood-testing program

Reporting from Las Vegas
Manny Pacquiao has said he's willing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. as long as any drug-testing policy is determined by a state commission, and not forced upon him like the independent program Mayweather and Shane Mosley agreed to for their Saturday welterweight title bout.
Now, the Nevada State Athletic Commission will consider adding a blood-testing program similar to the one Mayweather and Mosley are following.
Keith Kizer, the Nevada commission's executive director, said Thursday the commission will conduct a mid-May hearing to explore the effectiveness of the Mayweather-Mosley blood- and urine-testing program conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. USADA head Travis Tygart is expected to attend the Nevada hearing and update commissioners about progress in detecting the use of performance-enhancing Human Growth Hormone and energy boosting EPO.
The Mayweather-Mosley promotion paid in excess of $20,000 for the agency to conduct the fighters' drug tests. Mosley said this week he's already submitted eight urine and four blood samples.
