    Being that the state of Nevada doesn't require USADA Drug testing and Floyd demanded it, who pays for the testing to take place? Is it Floyd? Is it Mosley? I imagine that it's not cheap to test for all of the different PEDs and synthetic drugs that they check for.

    I'm guessing that a portion of their purses went towards it. I think I heard a number last night saying it was $20K per fighter which is absolutely peanuts compared to the purses they make.

    I don't think all fights should need it, but for any fight of this magnitude, it should be done and the fighters should voluntarily take it.

    I like the 14 day cut off that Floyd's camp recommended.
    PAC wanted 24 days.
    Hopefully they can split the difference and get it on.
