Golden Boy Promotions has not yet provided the Nevada State Athletic Comission with any additional details or results of the one random drug test conducted by the US Anti Doping Agency on Floyd Mayweather Jr and Shane Mosley who face-off at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 1.

The executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission Keith Kizer informed us last April 5 that Mayweather and Mosley had already been tested by the USADA for any illegal substance.

Kizer told insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that he had been informed by Golden Boy Promotions, promoters of the May 1 showdown that ?both boxers (at that time) had taken at least one test already.?

He said however that there were no details on where or when the tests had been taken even as he responded to our query by saying no test results or additional details have been provided the NSAC as of today.

Kizer told us previously that the USADA test results would be passed on to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. He said ?I have been told they will be.?

At the same time the NSAC executive director disclosed that the Commission ?tested Mr. Mayweather in late December and his test was negative for any prohibited substance.?

The Mayweather-Mosley fight emerged a negotiations for a big money super-fight between reigning pound-for-pound king and ?Fighter of the Decade? Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr fell through on a disagreement over the cutoff date for random drug tests.

Pacquiao agreed to a cut-off date for the random drug tests 24 days before their scheduled fight but Mayweather Jr and his handlers insisted on 14 days resulting in the scuttling of the fight which was expected to generate $40 million in revenues for each fighter.
