There seems to be concern from numerous members of the sports industry. from writers, to reporters, even other athletes, regarding why I am concerned with random blood testing. Here is what I would like to explain for the world to understand.
I am still willing to Fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. I never said the fight was off or I do not want to fight him. I will fight anyone at anytime and my record and past fights prove that. I have never and will never dodge anyone.
These are my specifications for this fight regarding blood testing. I have offered to give a blood sample the day of the Announcement of the fight at the Press Release. I have Offered to give a blood sample 30 days before the fight. I am willing to give blood immediately after the fight is over inside my dressing room . I am also willing to give urine tests at anytime any where everyday leading up to the fight. The truth is taking blood out of my body does not seem natural to me and mentally I feel it will weaken me if blood is taken from me just days before the fight. That does not make sense to me why anyone would do that.
These accusations of me using any performance enhancing supplements are totally unwarranted and unjustified. To all of my fans I want to say thank you very much for all your support and understanding. I always give honor to God first and I would never cheat. I would never Cheat God, I would never cheat myself, and I would never cheat my country and my fans.
Mike Koncz, Manny’s U.S. advisor stated "he and Manny are currently working on the contracts for the next fight. Nothing is done yet, so please do not believe anything else you read. They are still working on a couple of matters, but we believe that in a short amount of time everything could get agreed upon by all parties concerned."
Greetings from Manila. I am finishing up my upcoming movie, Wapakman. I am excited and really looking forward to be celebrating my 31st birthday in 10 days and Christmas in a couple of weeks.
My promoter, Bob Arum, was here over the weekend to visit and discuss the proposed Floyd Mayweather bout on March 13. Nothing is 100%, but I am hoping Bob and Floyd’s representatives can finalize things very soon. I am really looking forward to fighting Floyd and will promise to give all my fans another great fight! I will keep all of you updated.

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao hasn’t signed off yet on a deal to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr in March 13 but the struggle is on by competing venues which has basically boiled down to the billion dollar Dallas Cowboys spanking new stadium in Texas and the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, although Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says the New Orleans Superdome is also interested but in his words “has a small chance.”
www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports had a lengthy conversation with Arum along with Dyan Castillejo of ABS-CBN at the New World Hotel following his arrival early morning on Wednesday from Las Vegas.

All the precincts have not reported, but it looks like this past weekends bout between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto was a box-office and financial home run for all the parties involved.
According to Bob Arum on Tuesday afternoon,"The pay-per-view is north of a million and south of a million-five. It’s significantly closer to a million-five than it is to a million. At this point, that’s all you can say. We don’t have New York, we don’t have this, we don’t have that. But it did extremely well."
