Bob Arum: Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is finally off

As reported by Ronnie Natanielsz in BoxingScene.com, the super fight Pacquiao-Mayweather Fight is finally off.

The most anticipated richest fight in boxing history which was previously planned top happen on March 13, 2010 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas will not push through.

This is after no deal was settled during the two-day talk with retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein in San Diego, California.

It was learned that Golden Boy Promotions, which is the camp of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. rejected the offer of reigning pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao side that the random blood tests be done 24 days before the fight, in which the previous demand is 30 days.

It must be remembered that the Mayweather camp is insisting a Olympic-style, random testing supervised by the US Anti-Doping Agency should be done. On the other hand, the Pacquiao group wants to do blood and urine testing under a particular period of time and to be handled by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Nevertheless, Manny Pacquiao may still fight in March but with Yuri Foreman who is the current World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion. If Pacquiao shall win, it will be his 8th world boxing title.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight to pursue on March 2010

The Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight will most likely to pursue as the reigning pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao agreed that the bout can be held on March 13, 2010.

Top Rank Bob Arum presented "what he thought was the best proposal he can bring" during a two-hour breakfast meeting with Pacquiao in Manila, said Michael Koncz, an adviser of the Philippine boxing idol.



"Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn't think was a problem," Koncz said. "The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn't feel it's a problem and it's pretty much a done deal."

He said the contract still needs "fine tuning," declining to elaborate. "We all believe that it will be done," he added.

If this fight will materialize, it will be a match between two great boxers regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighters.

Boxing fans have been looking forward to this super fight between Pacquiao and the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. after the Manny defeated Miguel Cotto last month.

Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao has already filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) as a congressional candidate for Sarangani this Philippine election 2010.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather: Manny to Sue Floyd Sr for the Steroids issue

It is quite impossible that Manny Pacquiao will fight Mayweather Jr since the Pacquiao-Cotto will be the last fight for the reigning Pound for Pound King. However, it seems that Pacquiao will fight against Mayweather Sr, but this may be in court.

Recently, Mayweather Sr thinks that Manny Pacquiao is taking steroids, as said in a Grand Rapids Press interview. According to him, he noticed that Manny's head is getting bigger than before which may be a sign that Manny is really taking steroids. In addition, he said that Pacman lacks skills and talent to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.



Apparently, Coach Freddie Roach denied the accusation and said that Manny is taking tests and none of them has proved that his favorite boxer is taking steroids. Meanwhile, Manny even said he do not know the shape or color of such steroids. If there is one that makes him strong inside the ring, it is the kind of foods he eat. Pacman has been very vocal about his diet, and among the list of his source of strength are rice, meat, fruits, and soup.

For Manny, he feels that Mayweather Sr is making a gimmick to increase the sales of the Mayweather-Marquez fight. And of course, he wants Manny to fight his son, Floyd Jr.
