Las Vegas: Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao fight: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather fight will not be canceled. Given that how quickly other bottlenecks were cleared away by Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, their super fight set for March 13 is unlikely to be dropped.
Mayweather is reportedly willing to give up his demand for Olympic-style random blood test which Pacquiao has been opposing on the grounds of his apprehensions about the impact of the tests on his performance.
Mayweather’s U-turn may or may not have something to do with Pacquiao’s defamation suit against him that demanded $75,000 in damages. Mayweather, his father, uncle, Richard Sheafer, Oscar De La Hoya were sued for falsely accusing Pacquiao of using steroids.
Richard Shaefer, CEO of the Golden Boy Promotions that promotes Mayweather had told ESPN that they were mulling over withdrawing their demand for random drug test.
Earlier Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum had suggested postponing the fight while Pacquiao himself said he would fight second-tier fighter Paulie Malignaggi if Mayweather backed out. His trainer Freddie Roach named the new light middleweight holder Yuri Foreman as another alternative.
Contrary to the earlier rumors, the much-hyped bout is more likely than not to be fought at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on March 13.
