After improving his undefeated record to 41 wins and 0 losses by defeating Sugar Shane Mosley earlier this month, Floyd Mayweather was asked the million dollar question. During a post-fight interview, the media seemed to be more curious about the possibility of a much anticipated bout with Manny Pacquiao in the mere future than the night's fight itself. When the question that never seems to get old was asked again, Mayweather continued to state that a fight between the two wouldn't take place unless Pacquiao's camp agreed to a blood test in the days leading up to it.
Pacquiao who was against the idea of blood being drawn for testing just months ago when both fighters first arranged a bout, is now consider a blood test 14 days prior to the fight as long as his opponent does the same. Pac-Man changed his stance of a blood test 24 days before the fight to 14 days in hopes of "helping the sport of boxing" he says. We all thought a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao was finally going to take place early this year, until negotiations fell threw and the fight was later called off due to these exact same blood tests. Instead, Pacquiao went on to fight Joshua Clottey at the new Cowboys Stadium where he won every round along with the fight in a unanimous decision. So as talks between both camps heat up once again, could we finally be in store for the fight of the century?
