    but there hasnt been one top rank fight where there has been private testing when they have big fights



    mayweather vs mosley
    mayweather vs ortiz
    mosley vs canelo
    ortiz vs berto
    khan vs peterson

    any other fights that have been tested by gbp let me know


    and all these tests are done by private companies
    and it does come cheap also for this test they go from 10000 to 100000 per fight

    Boxing is far and far behind all other major sports when it comes to testing.
    What GBP does doesn't work either, because fighters can use freely in the other months they aren't tested and so have most of the benefits already.

    Pretty sure Cotto v Mayweather is having it as well.

    It should be up to the State Atletic Commisions to ensure they use the best possible testing and not just their standard, rather than fall on the promoters.

    But its still better then nothing. At least they wont be full of PED´s on fight night.
    Well there will probably be someone that gets past the tests but not every fighter can afford the best drugs.

    well GBP's schaefer doesn't think that it's fair for zab judah to demand some extra testing against their boy mosley.
