Even though Golden Boy Promotions still has a contractual interest in Manny Pacquiao, they have dilligently been working on behalf of Floyd Mayweather Jr demanding that Pacquiao undergo PED testing not normally required by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Although it's not the steak and potatoes of this piece, it is ironic that some of the involved parties wanted this fight to take place in Las Vegas so badly that they dusted off Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his $25M offer to host the fight in his state of the art stadium that can comfortably hold more than 100,000 people. Then before you can say steroids, the Mayweather camp virtually dubs the Vegas Commission a bunch of inept cavemen with prehistoric testing methods. Is Sugar Shane Mosley, a partner of Golden Boy Promotions the next in house target? Based on how well Schaefer has followed Mayweather's marching orders on the Pacquiao fight, are we nuts for thinking, he'd instruct Mosley that in order for him to fight Mayweather additional "random" testing would be necessary? If that's the case, it might be a while before we see Floyd in a fight we care about.
Will Al Haymon give Andre Berto the Mayweather treatment and advise him that requesting addition PED testing would be in his best interest? Don't hold your breath. After all, HBO has guaranteed Berto a Urango like comeback fight should he lose to Mosley, so I guess there's no rush to red-flag Mosley.
