EXCLUSIVE: LAS VEGAS, Nevada, December 23, 2009 – Just as Pound-for-Pound King Manny Pacquiao is “ready to ring off” Floyd Mayweather, Jr.’s head to the canvas as stated in the pre-fight analysis by different columnists, Mayweather, Jr. through his adviser and manager, Leonard Ellerbe, demands that a drug test, both blood and urine, will have to be done 30 days before the scheduled fight, which includes random blood and urine samplings.

But, Pacquiao does not want blood drawn inside 30 days of the fight but said he would give blood before the press conference to promote the bout and immediately after the fight between the two.

In an exclusive telephone interview today by this writer, Top Rank Godfather Bob Arum says, “Floyd Mayweather, Jr. must have conceived tremendous fear of getting knockout by Manny Pacquiao.”

“Yeah, he is scared to death,” says Arum who wants to see Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happening in his lifetime.

Arum, 78, “called off” the talk between the camps of Mayweather and Pacquiao amid in what seems to be an uncompromising and “endless” demand of the Mayweather camp relative to blood testing as said.

“And I bet you even if his demands are met, he will have to spotlight, again and again, another set of excuses. It’s pathetic his demands are endless. He wakes up with a new demand each day after every nightmare.” Arum adds.

Meanwhile, Ellerbe, in an exclusive telephone interview today, says his fighter “remains firm of his demand specific of blood and urine tests scheduling and random ones as well”.

He further says, “The consensus of our camp is that we “will not settle for anything less than what our fighter (Floyd Mayweather, Jr.) wants done”.

Mayweather versus Pacquiao, as scheduled on March 13, 2010 which location has to be agreed upon by both parties, is on moratorium until an official resumption of negotiation is called on for by both parties.

This is absolutely ridiculous! All the demands seem to be coming from the Floyd Mayweather Jr. camp, while Manny Pacquiao on the other hand just wants to get down to business IN THE RING, which is where it counts. It is evident that Mayweather is running scared and he knows the possibilty of getting knocked out by Pacman is a very real one. It seems there's a new hoop for Pacquiao to jump through each and every day. Blood and urine testing will serious intervene with and affect Pacman's training schedule and this is just Mayweather making a nuisanceof himself. I say quit the talking, finalise the deal, both parties put pen to paper and let's get this fight on 13 March 2010. It would be the brightest day in the modern history of the sport.
