    According to the most recent reports the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight scheduled at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on March 13 is back on target. Mayweather is reportedly willing to give up his demand for Olympic-style random blood test which Pacquiao has been opposing on the grounds of his apprehensions about the impact of the tests on his performance. Richard Shaefer, CEO of Mayweather's Golden Boy Promotions had told ESPN that they were mulling over withdrawing their demand for random drug test. Mayweather’s about face may or may not have something to do with Pacquiao’s defamation suit against him that demanded $75,000 in damages. Mayweather, his father, uncle, Richard Sheafer, Oscar De La Hoya were sued for falsely accusing Pacquiao of using steroids. Despite the reason for his turn around, Mayweather is ready for the fight, let's hope they both bring their A games!!!

    Good news. I had a feeling that this fight would still happen, even after all the issues, it's just too big to pass up. I don't blame Mayweather for trying to get the random tests. He had to do what he felt was needed, but he can't force Pacquiao to take them.

    Mayweather lights his cigars with 75,000 I doubt that was a factor in him dropping his demands. 40 million is more like it

    If this is the case then Manny will always be under a cloud.

    The fight will happen. But when, if they can agree everything in time or need more time to hype it up for later in the year.
