Its only a problem if Floyd demands the testing.. Do you really think he will have a problem with the boxing commission were asking for test..

Then in the another breath he doesn't want to do it because of Floyd's demands and will only do what the commission says do?
Which one is it?

Lets see, in 2010 Nevada has had 30 Boxing Cards/events: http://boxing.nv.gov/New_2010resultspage.htm
Based off on checking those 2010 results above, the average card has about 5 or 6 bouts. That's 10 or 12 Athletes/Fighters that need to be Random Tested, per fight card.
12 Athletes per card x 30 Boxing Cards per year = 360 Athletes needed to be Randomly Tested. Now, lets keep in mind that Keiser isn't paying for it out of his pocket, it would be paid for with revenues generated from the Event itself (I.E. Gate, PPV).
Lets also keep in mind that Random Testing doesn't mean testing the Athletes every day, until the fight, which would be a lot of Blood to test in the lab. Hypothetically, they could only show up and test the fighters only one time, but it would be random and they wouldn't be prepared for it.
Based on everything I just said, Keiser is more worries about the additional work than the cost of it.
So using your number of 360 fighters it would cost somewhere between 18-36 million to implement just testing leading up to the fight. I can only imagine what full year round testing would be.
You really think the state of Nevada can or could even consider covering that bill? Not likely...

Im sure they also consider the fact that they could lose even more revenue if fighters choose not to fight in Nevada to avoid the testing...

1. I wonder where they get the funding to this and why can't NSAC do the same?
2. Manny fought in Texas with no problem, I wonder if he'll except a bout in New Jersey where OSDT is mandatory. I mean Manny does go by the "commission". He never specified which commission, so he should be able to go by the NJAC as well. Atlantic City, Mayweather vs Pac, HERE WE COMELast edited by BoxingGenius27; 09-29-2011, 01:29 PM.

Plus the state taxes in NJ make it impossible to fight there.
