Mayweather Sr. said this about Pacquiao and Floyd Jr. at eastsideboxing.com’s On The Ropes Boxing Radio Program: “You never hear Pacquiao say nothing about fighting little Floyd. Pacquiao knows what will happen to his a**, because he knows if he takes that test he knows what’s really going to happen. There ain’t going to be no ifs, ands or buts about it. He knows he’s going to get his natural a** toked up! Believe me!”

I do believe Mayweather Sr. I do hear Pacquiao bringing up Mayweather’s name from time to time, but I suspect it’s more just to namedrop and get attention from doing that than any kind of genuine interest on Pacquiao’s part. I really don’t think Pacquiao is interested in fighting Mayweather, because if he was he would have agreed to the full random blood tests when Mayweather was trying to get a fight with Pacquiao last year.

The best that Mayweather could get out of Pacquiao was having random blood tests done all the way up to three weeks before that. That’s not exactly random blood tests if you ask me. That told me that Pacquiao didn’t want it. Mayweather then went in another direction when he saw that. And now Pacquiao wants to have his training camp half the time in the Philippines rather than stay in the U.S the entire training camp to be tested, along Mayweather Jr., by the USADA.

All Pacquiao has to do is stay in the U.S for this one training camp only. He can train in the Philippines exclusively for the remainder of his career if he wants, but just this time Mayweather wants him to train in the U.S so that he’ll be available for testing. As you’d suspect, Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum aren’t likely to go along with that. There it is. Mayweather offered the fight to Pacquiao and it doesn’t look like he wants it.

Arum has already got Pacquiao’s next two fights planned out against fighters from his Top Rank stable, starting with Timothy Bradley [once he signs with Top Rank], Mike Jones, and likely a rematch against Miguel Cotto.
