The greatest fight of all time that never was
Manny Pacquiao filed suit in U.S. District Court, in Nevada on Wednesday, against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions executives Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, alleging that they made false and defamatory statements accusing him of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
It could be the final blow that will kill the negotiations for their proposed March 13 HBO PPV super fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, many believe would be the richest fight in boxing history if it takes place.
Mayweather has insisted on random urine and blood testing for both fighters. Pacquiao, who has agreed to random unlimited urine testing, has balked at random blood testing, saying he would only take three blood tests: One in early January around the time of the kickoff news conference, one randomly up to 30 days before the fight and one in the dressing room after the fight, according to ESPN.
If the Nevada State Athletic Commission only requires urine testing, then what’s the problem?
“Manny Pacquiao’s achievements come from God-given talent and an indefatigable work ethic — not steroids,” said Pacquiao’s Los Angles attorney, Daniel Petrocelli. “He cannot and will not allow others to deliberately misrepresent his years of hard work and tarnish his reputation.
I understand that, this guy looks like he is NO JOKE. Maybe he just don’t like needles poking in him. Especially, when it’s not necessary.
I would love to see at least one round, maybe two, of this fight go down.
