The tests are above the boxing commission standard of testing.. Mayweather is asking for Olympic style testing.
I'm pretty sure the Pac fight was the first where Mayweather wanted testing above the boxing commission standard... Whatever his true reasons were, at the time one of his family members suggested that he had it on good authority that Pac was on certain performance enhancing drugs that the regular testing wasn't picking up, so on the back of that Mayweather demanded Pac take Olympic style testing or the fight wouldn't be on...
He also claimed during the Mosley lead up that he was doing it to "clean up the sport" but I would suggest that is the boxing commissions job and he should campaign to THEM to get the rules changed. Or refuse a fight until the actual rules are changed..
And alas as Master said, he has enforced the extra testing on every opponent since Pac and would look a twat if he didn't. Most likely he doesn't really give a sh!t about other opponents and i'd almost bet 100% if the Pac thing never happened, he would not be asking for extra testing now...
But it's the way it is..
I fear though that even if Pac is prepared to take the Olympic testing now, there is too much ego between them to do a deal..
Another fight that will be talked about for 100 years, because it NEVER happened...
