    It’s too bad Manny Pacquiao didn’t agree to the random blood testing that Floyd Mayweather Jr. wanted last year because Pacquiao would have faced Mayweather instead of the like of Joshua Clottey, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito.

    Now it looks like Pacquiao has blown his chance to get Money May in the ring, because Mayweather has the options of fighting rematches against Oscar De La Hoya and Victor Ortiz if he wants them. Those fights will bring Mayweather as much as $90 million or possibly even more than that. And after Mayweather gets through with them, he can take on Amir Khan.

    Hopefully, Khan is better known among casual boxing fans in the U.S. by then, because right now only hardcore boxing fans know of him in the U.S. But Pacquiao isn’t really needed anymore by Mayweather for him to get a big payday. It would be nice for Mayweather to fight the Filipino fighter and add his scalp to Mayweather’s resume, but if Pacquiao isn’t willing to stay in the U.S so that he can be tested by the USADA, then what’s the point? If Pacquiao wanted the fight, he’d stay in the U.S, wouldn’t he?

    I'm sure that Floyd will cry himself to sleep on his $100M pillow about his undefeated record and "tarnish" b/c Pacquiao wouldn't do a blood test. ;)
