Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Back on the Hot Stove
Published: May 12 2010 by: Jake Emen
Rumored Dates for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Include November 6th and 13th
The latest news in the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight saga is that the fight could be back on the table. Of course, it has long been the fight that fans have clamored for. Now two big hurdles have been moved out of the way as we start to head back down the path of seeing the bout made.
The first of those hurdles was Manny Pacquiao's recent election bid. He easily won his Congressional election, and took home his prized seat without too much of a contest from the incumbent.
The second of those obstacles was Floyd Mayweather's fight against Shane Mosley. Mayweather dominated the fight in impressive fashion, and captured the attention of the mainstream media by doing so. Additionally, both he and Mosley complied with Olympic style testing without issue, furthering his cause and strengthening his negotiating stance.
It's also worth mention that Mayweather vs. Mosley sold 1.4 million pay-per-views, a very impressive figure that once again raises Mayweather's status in negotiations.
Bob Arum has announced that on either November 6th or November 13th Manny Pacquiao will fight again. It seems like November 13th would be the favored date, and if Pacquiao vs. Mayweather gets made, Jerry Jones wants the date and promises to put 100,000 fans into his seats. Both sides have announced they want the fight, but until they negotiate a solution to their earlier conflicts regarding drug testing, nothing will be done.
The growing consensus within the boxing community and the sporting world is that if Pacquiao does not have anything to hide, then he should agree to the testing. Point blank, it's a fight that absolutely must happen for the sport and for the legacy of both men. Additionally, both men will have more than $50 million reasons to arrive at some kind of agreement.
Of course, we have all been down this road before. Pacquiao vs. Mayweather was supposed to happen this March 13th, and for two or three months there was a media war with near daily updates about the fight taking place or whether it would collapse.
So color me skeptical. I'll believe in the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight happening in November when I see a press conference held announcing the fight. Until then, everything else is just rumor and talk, and some fire and smoke from the hot stove. Still, eight months later is better than never.

Mknight, are you from the Nevada State Athletic Commission?
Are you the one making the rules?
Your mouth is full of dust!!!
Floyd is just as scared as hell in facing Manny inside the ring. Why not have final blood test 2 to 3 weeks before the fight the have another blood, urine or even stool test right after the fight just to know if Pacman is really on PEDs. If Money really wants to fight Pacman inside the ring then with or without Olympic style testing he would take the fight. It is that all easy.
But the reality is Mayweather is just so scared of losing because he knows that Pacquiao will be able to neutralize his left job and left hook because Pacquiao is much faster and moves laterally. Manny would counter by detonating right hooks and left straight to the body of Floyd. The Pacman would destroy Money the loud mouth Gayweather when they meet up inside the ring. Pacman by KO in 10th or 11th round.
1 second after the fight get all the tests you want. Agree or not gay ape? Dont have to use your tiny brain don’t you?
What about if the greenbucks doesn’t have any value no more comes November? Then this fight never gonna happen…..
NO false champion. Random drug testing all the way and no cut off point this time. 3 DAYS MINIMUM cut off time. We are not goiong to pay to watch fighters loaded with peds to rip us off. No test “RANDOM” NO FIGHT.
You’re an idiot John, speak for yourself mann..
Do you really actually believed that if there isn’t
a single speck of evidence- you blindly say he’s on PEDS?
We’ll simple mind thinks simply stupid.
Manny is the one scared to fight mayweather in his natural state (no peds.Tell this small man who talks big to take the test.
No random test no fight. If not retire and foul yourself for the rest of your life Manny. No test then you are as guilty as xxxx. TAKE THAT TO YOUR GRAVE.
I am a boxing fan, period! It’s sad that Pacquioa fans infatuation and love for him goes beyond intelligent rational thinking. Mayweather said after the Mosley fight I just want to be on an even playing field. If you argue with that there is something really wrong with your morals!!!
whats wrong with this mayweather fanatics ? hey john! hey cal ! go to hell guys!!!! your a big joke on this forum you dont know what your talking about!!! maybe the 2 of you are (GAY) as well……
