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.

http://topgelato.com/pacquiao-vs-mayweather-update-the-truth-behind-pacquiaos-refusal-on-blood-test/12708
that is the explanation why pacman doesnt want the bloodtest
if mayweather wants to prove that he is number 1, fight manny w/o any excuses of drug test, manny have been fighting big names..mayweather is really scared of manny thats it!
well i agree that mayweather has terrific boxing skills definitely smart inside the ring than any other fighter right now but with a terrible lousy promotion but unlike manny gifted with power and leg strengths, I think manny will have no less than 60% winning this one. I admire maywether skill very simple not to get hit and hit a couple of one, two get out side and re group,I think floyd gonna back pedal on this one, his famous shoulder defense will not work on this one.
BIAS!!! Get another job….
“Additionally, both he and Mosley complied with Olympic style testing without issue, furthering his cause and strengthening his negotiating stance.” – What was the reason for this test in the first place anyway… Pacquiao never tested positive for any drugs of PED… If there is someone to be questioned with drugs and PEDs its the Mayweather… I am not biased… It’s a fact… Cyclocane, Pushers…
“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.” – Maybe, but who is the fighter of the decade? who is the 3 times fighter of the year… do your research… among all the best top 3 boxers… Manny is the 2 to robinson and Ali comes 3rd after Manny… Where is Floyd… Oh I see, He is working at KFC…
“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. ” – And why do Pacquiao has to? Is Floyd NSAC? And what’s his basis?
Sorry dude, you better find another job… you only focus on issues that goes against 1 fighter(Manny). And if you examine them closely… They are all excuses… no credible point for debate… too bad… you are going down like your Idol Kentucky Floyd Chicken.
Go to the mirror and look strait in your eyes and ask yourself… “Why cant I accept Pacquiao as the better fighter? Why? Why? Is it because He is Asian? Is it because He is not American?”. After that, if you still can figure it out… Go kill yourself….!!!!!
i like your comment Rambo..it just boil in one point that pussy floyd is really scared of the pac..if you will check and study the stats and characteristics of each fighter pac delivers much power ,stamina ,great angles and explosive combination’s..pussy floyd can defend one or two punch on his classic shoulder defense,but how about five punches,dont you think that even one of those can stun floyd..i dont see floyd winning on this one..its probably near to impossible to see floyd winning and he should seek advice to clottey to survive on twelve rounds..and now floyd is asking for a rest for two years..wheeww what an excuse floyd..and please stop saying that your the best that happens in boxing coz that will be a great joke..please floyd ..i beg you to fight pac cause that will just prove how lousy your skills are.. and regars to mayweather sr..stop accusing cause on the first place pac doesnt have any history of roids or any form of peds..and also stop predicting on pac fights that he will get destroyed..your always dead wrong men..and to oscar dlh just make the fight now and schaefer told us that he will be idiot if he cant make the fight..then i see it coming..
