Pacquiao has already been set up for a March 13th fight against former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey at the Dallas Cowboy stadium, in Texas. Under the best circumstances, we likely won’t be seeing a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao until the summer, even if Arum could get Mayweather to apologize and drop his requests for random blood tests. I doubt that Mayweather will do either.
Mayweather feels strongly about the random blood tests and I would expect that he would still want them to take place if he’s to fight Pacquiao in the future. What Arum could do to make this fight happen is to get Pacquiao to agree to a compromise of five days or so, making the last blood test stop at 19 days before the fight instead of 24 days. Mayweather wanted to have the random blood tests stop at 14 days before the fight. If they split the difference, that would come out to 19 days. That sounds like an agreeable solution.
