Head of Nevada Boxing Commission orders urine tests for Pacquiao, Mayweather

The head of the Nevada boxing commission has ordered Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Junior to submit to urine tests as a way of trying to break the impasse that has threatened to derail their proposed March 13 mega fight.



Pacquiao and Mayweather must submit to the tests within 48 hours or face possible fines or suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission.



The tests, which were ordered by the commission Chairman, Pat Lundvall, fall under an out of competition testing regulation which went into effect last year and allows state boxing authorities to order boxers to comply.



The commission\'s demand comes a day after Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum said he would not budge off a proposal to do just three blood tests on the two fighters and none within 30 days of the fight.



Arum, who had suggested the Nevada Athletic Commission decide next month who will prevail in the dispute, said he planned to begin negotiating a fight with Paul Malignaggi if Mayweather\'s camp didn\'t agree to the terms.



However, Mayweather\'s Manager, Leonard Ellerbe, said there will be no fight on Arum\'s terms, and charged the promoter with trying to shift the blame for the fight not happening from Pacquiao\'s side to Mayweather.
