"Floyd Mayweather nor myself condone this behavior and whatever the Nevada commission sees necessary as punishment we fully support it," Mayweather Promotions chief executive Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com.

With all these fights being canceled it’s killing the sport and I hope the networks are not going to lose interest. As promoters, we do our best to make sure everyone is abiding by the rules.

But if it takes two or three or four fights to be canceled, so be it. There can be zero tolerance for the use of banned substances."
