A STATE OF THE ART DRUG TESTING FOR PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER MATCH

Mayweather's advisers Leonard Ellerbe and Al Hayman want a more sophisticated and complete dope testing than those conducted by the state sports commissions, purportedly to "protect their boxer.

The camp of of Floyd Mayweather Jr. is reportedly seeking a random, Olympic style drug testing for their fighter and seven division champion Manny Pacquiao in the run up to their targeted March 13 super fight.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said he has no problem with the dope tests since Team Pacquiao "has nothing to hide" and added that this indicates Mayweather's fear of the Filipino ring icon's power, which has remained lethal as he climbs in weight.

I think its right to do those testing just to settle things about this substance issues. But i think its also an insult to Manny Pacquiao of having been accusing him of taking substance. Let those test start, finish the result so we the fans can watch what is billed to be the most awaited fight for next year.

Finally the match that we've been waiting for between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on, the date, March 13.

The fight is indeed happening as the pound for pound champ Manny Pacquiao agreed on the March 13 date in what is seen as the fight of the century.

Pacquiao met with Bob Arum recently in Manila and reportedly agreed in principle the terms laid down by Mayweather's camp.

Pacquiao did asked for some requirements which Arum believed won't hinder the negotiations, ike the type of gloves to be used.

Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's Canadian adviser, said that even though no contract has been signed yet the fight is a "done deal."

The fight would be at 147 pounds for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title, which he won in November with an impressive 12th round stoppage of Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

The bout could be the richest ever assuming projections are accurate. Pacquiao's fight against Cotto sld 1.25 million pay-per-views, while Mayweather's comeback victory over Juan Manuel Marquez in SEptember did 1.05 million.
