Here’s a piece of good news to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
As part of efforts to agree on a November 13 fight, Manny Pacquiao said he is amenable to undergo random drug and urine testing 14 days before the fight.
“As long as they’re not getting a large amount of blood, I am willing to give out blood as close to two weeks before the fight,” Pacquiao told the Bulletin late Wednesday night during a lull in shooting a Ginebra commercial in Makati.
Pacquiao said he will not hesitate to be tested provided that the amount to be taken would be minimal, noted the 31-year-old fighter, gesturing with his pointer and index fingers a measurement equivalent to a short syringe.
Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed in principle to face off but a last-minute demand by Mayweather for Olympic-style testing did not augur well with Pacquiao’s handlers, saying they would not be bullied into accepting his seemingly-outlandish terms.
Pacquiao narrated the incident during the first fight with Erik Morales in March 2005 when a large amount was taken from him on the eve of the fight that he eventually lost by unanimous decision.
“I felt very weak after they got the blood,” said Pacquiao, motioning with his fingers once again the size of the syringe that was used in extracting blood from his arm.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao, has his schedule all figured out: Congress in the daytime and gym in the afternoon.
Pacquiao said he can handle the role of being fighter and lawmaker and that “time management” is the key to getting things done.
“I will attend sessions in the morning until afternoon then I go to the gym around 4 or 5 p.m.,” said Pacquiao, who will take his oath as congressman of Sarangani on June 30.
“I will stay in the country during training camp then with two weeks before the fight, I will fly to the US,” said Pacquiao, stressing that during his absence, his staff will assume his countless responsibilities.
As in previous training camps, there would still be the usual early-morning roadwork then gym work in the afternoon, according to the reigning World Boxing Organization welterweight king.
“Nothing’s going to change as far as my training is concerned even though I am now a congressman because I will carefully map out my schedule. I will still wake up early becauseI have to run in the morning.”
The past few days, Pacquiao has been busy consulting with his political advisers so he can easily adjust to his new role by July.
Next month, Pacquiao will leave for New York to personally receive the Fighter of the Year award – his third – that will be given out by the Boxing Writers Association of America.
“I am truly honored by this award that I am about to receive,” said Pacquiao, whose trophy chest also includes numerous plaques and trophies given by the Philippine Sportswriters Association, the oldest media organization in the country that carefully tracked the boxer’s rise to fame and fortune.
After Floyd Mayweather picked apart an older Shane Mosley on Saturday (May 1), talk immediately switched to the future. A Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao showdown anyone?
The two fighters were set to face off this year, but when Mayweather requested that Pac-Man endure Olympic-style USADA drug testing during his training camp, negotiations ceased and the mega-fight was called off.
Ever since, Floyd has insuated that Pacquiao is using performance-enhancing drugs despite having no proof, prompting the Filipino fighter to file a defamation lawsuit, which is currently pending.
After the fight hit a wall, Pacquiao went on to defeat Joshua Clottey on March 13th, while Mayweather won a unanimous decision against Mosley over the weekend.
Now, however, Pac-Man seems to be softening his stance on drug testing procedures. Two days after Mayweather's victory, Pacquiao said he's willing to compromise.
"I am willing to help the sport for the future of the sport. I do not want to see anyone cheat or cheat this sport," Pacquiao said in a statement on his official website. "For that reason I am willing to consider taking blood [tests] as close as 14 days prior to the fight, as long as my opponent does the same, and it is not a lot of blood, just enough to test."
Mayweather has proven that has no issue undergoing the same kind of testing as his opponent.
The Filipino fighter previous insisted on a cut-off of blood testing 30 days before the fight, but later agreed to 24 days after he realized he did the same in his fight against Ricky Hatton in May 2009. He also agreed blood test immediately after the fight.
Pacquiao resisted Mayweather's requests, arguing that that anything else would weaken him during training. But now, he may compromise a little more to make the fight happen. "I do not want anyone having an unfair advantage where someone may get hurt," said Pacquiao. "I am willing to do my part to help this sport out."
Despite Pac-Man's statements, it's unclear when a fight with Mayweather would take place, because he's currently running for a seat in congress in his native country, the Philippines. That's his main concern at the moment. Then, according to ESPN, Pacquiao plans to go on vacation with family.
After all that, then boxing plans will be discussed.
"As Manny has stated many times, we are willing to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere in accordance with the athletic commission's rules and regulations in which ever state we fight in. We will not be bullied into or entertain any additional rules or regulations to be imposed by our opponent," Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser, said in a statement to Pacquiao's website.
After Mayweather's fight on Saturday, he said he would fight Pacquiao, but only if he agrees to the same kind of testing used during his fight with Mosley. If not, he said there will be no fight.
"If Manny Pacquiao can take a blood and urine test then we have a fight," Mayweather said. "If not, no fight."

Filipino star Manny Pacquiao has given the clearest indication yet that he is willing to compromise over Floyd Mayweather's drug-testing demands.
Pacquiao says he would now be willing to take a blood test 14 days ahead of any fight with his American rival.
"I have agreed to it, but they should not draw much blood," he said.
Negotiations for a bout between the pair fell through earlier this year when the unbeaten Mayweather insisted on Olympic-style random drug testing.
Five-weight world champion Pacquiao said: "They should only take what is necessary for the drug test."
Have your say on this story
The 31-year-old, who previously said he does not like giving blood close to his fights, added: "14 days," when stating the time limit for blood to be taken before the fight.
In the run-up to their aborted March bout, Mayweather called for repeated blood testing up to the day of the fight. Pacquiao, who has never failed a doping test, wanted a 30-day cut-off.
Mayweather later said he agreed to a 14-day cut-off but that Pacquiao would not accept it.
Since then they have faced different opponents, with Mayweather beating Shane Mosley and Pacquiao defeating Joshua Clottey.
A fight between the pair, widely regarded and the two best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, would also likely be the richest in the sport's history, with Las Vegas or Dallas the likely venue.
"He [Mayweather] will no longer have a reason [not to fight]," added Pacquiao. "Let's see if that is really the reason."
Earlier this month, Pacquiao said he would have one last fight after securing a seat in the Philippine Congress by a huge margin.
His chief financial adviser Michael Konzc added that 6 November and 13 November had been set aside as potential dates for his next bout.
If it is not against Mayweather, Mexico's Antonio Margarito is his other likely opponent.Comment

But tygart made a 18 days cut off date because he knows the risk and that even he allow the fighter to use whatever steroids they want they would still never benefited the effect of it in those time frame that's why tygart decided to stop the test 18 days before the fight.Comment

If you wanna change the Rule, then by all means change the Rule pertaining to the Professional Boxing Test, from Urine to Blood test!
Don't impose on one Boxer alone, (simply because of wild allegation/speculation without proof); but to every Boxer including Hopkins!
No bias, no Discrimination!
BTW, those Boxers asking Pacman to get Blood Test, should set an example by submitting themselves to Blood test!
They have to put to practice what they preach!Comment
