Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is Off!!
Los Angeles, CA- After almost two days of mediation, headed by retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, the fight was officially called off. According to reports, Pacquiao already agreed to blood tests 24 days before the fight and immediately after the fight. However, Floyd Mayweather’s camp still refuse to accept the compromise agreement. “The fight’s off, Mayweather never wanted it. Manny wanted the fight. He was agreeable to terms,” Arum told LATimes.com. It was reported a few weeks ago that Team Mayweather wanted to implement an Olympic Style Blood Testing for Pacquiao, which will require him to submit to blood test at any time or any given hour before the fight. Though Team Pacquiao agreed to unlimited urine test and blood test 30 days prior to the fight and after the fight, Team Mayweather is still unsatisfied with the agreement, hence resulted to the matter be brought for mediation in the hands of retired judge Daniel Weinstein. Dubbed as the biggest fight in boxing history, it was estimated that each fighter will receive at least 30 million dollars if the match push thru.
“When the fight was offered, Manny accepted it with no hesitation,” Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz told ESPN.com. “We’re not surprised. We saw this coming once they started this drug bull—-. It was a way for them to get out of the fight. I don’t think Mayweather expected Manny to accept the challenge so quickly.”
According to Top Rank’s Bob Arum, they will consider to arrange Pacquiao vs Yuri Foreman also of Top Rank on March 13 or March 20. This will be another record setting for Pacquiao for his 8th world title.
