MANILA, Philippines - Hopes of salvaging the megafight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are slim after American promoter Bob Arum’s”final counter offer” was quickly turned down by Mayweather’s chief adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, and negotiator, Richard Schaefer.

Arum, main man of Top Rank, had given the Mayweather camp until Monday (today in Manila) to decide on his final proposal that both parties let the Nevada State Athletic Commission to make the final decision on the blood tests issue.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Arum suggested that both sides explain to the NSAC why their “preferred (blood) testing system” should be used or followed, and let theNevada body make the final decision.

Mayweather wanted an Olympic-style blood testing to be supervised by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. Under the set-up, both fighters should agree to as many as five blood and 12 urine tests - randomly.

Freddie Roach said it’s so random that that USADA can knock on your doors in the middle of the night to get blood or urine samples, in the weeks, days or just hours before the fight, and shortly afterwards.

Pacquiao’s camp said there’s no need for such, and has agreed to three blood tests (one on the first week of January, then 30 days before the match and another after the match, but was again unacceptable to Mayweather.

Arum made the offer of letting the NSAC to decide. And if the Mayweathers disagree, the Top Rank president said he could seal a Pacquiao fight with Paulie Malignaggi on March 13 “within an hour.”

Arum may find himself making the phone call when he wakes up Monday morning while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico after Ellerbe and Schaefer literally thumbed down the final counter offer from Top Rank.

“Random is random. We are all intelligent people and we know what random testing is. That is what we want and it has not changed,” said Ellerbe.

“It does not make sense for this to become a commission matter. This is a contractual matter. The commission did not decide the weights or the purse split or how the foreign television rights would be sold.

“If this is Bob’s final ultimatum, then that’s what it is. That is his decision if he wants to take that position. I very much hope this fight can be made, but the reason it is at a standstill is because of the way they have handled things,” Schaefer said.

Pacquiao is vacationing with his family in Gen. Santos City and his adviser, Mike Koncz, said the 31-year-old superstar doesn’t want to make any further comment on the matter.

The other day, Schaefer said Mayweather can do away with the USADA, and it’s just a matter of both camps agreeing on the dates of the blood tests just to make sure that they’re still effective.

But that was the other day.

“We are prepared to have this handled in a way that is not us deciding or them deciding,” said Arum. “The commission meets on Jan. 19. Mayweather’s people can say why they believe additional testing above what we agreed to as necessary and we can give our viewpoint.

“Let the commission decide. If they come away and decide Manny needs to be blood tested every single [expletive] day, then we will go with that. This is the way to go to give this thing legitimacy. I hope they [Team Mayweather] see reason.“ - By Abac Cordero (Philstar News Service, www.philstar.com)

Firepower undeniably exploded on November 14, 2009 at the MGM grand in Las Vegas. This showcased the Welterweight showdown between the current pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao of Philippines and the current WBO Welterweight Champion Miguel Angel Cotto of Puerto Rico. This fight undeniably meant all for both of the warriors taking on each other. For Pacquiao, this will be a chance to defend his current title as the pound for pound king but more than that, this is an attempt for him to make history as he tries to gain his seventh world title in seven different weight divisions. For Cotto, this fight is a chance for him to prove that he has what it takes to defend his crown and to beat such great opponent.

In the opening round of the bout, Cotto seems to be more aggressive than Pacquiao. He was even the first to connect a jab that made Pacquiao be out of his rhythm. This scenario seemed to continue until the second round but Manny has always an answer for every punch thrown by the Puerto Rican Champion. However, things started to change for Cotto when he tasted the power of the right hand of Pacquiao that made him floored. It was then when the onslaught of Manny continued and it never stopped again. Near the end of the fourth round, the left uppercut unloaded by the pound for pound king floored Cotto for the second time around. In the proceeding rounds, Cotto seemed to have recovered but that was it. He started backpedaling just to avoid the attacks of the swift Pacquiao. From rounds 2 to 11, Manny Pacquiao was all over Cotto and was indeed in complete dominance. It seemed that Cotto can’t do anything about the flurry of punches being released by his adversary. He cannot answer the attacks simply because he was busy defending himself. The end came at the 2:05 mark of the 12th round as Pacquiao pummeled a bloodied Cotto on the ropes, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to halt the carnage. The victory awarded Pacquiao the WBO welterweight crown.

In this win, history has been made by Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao because he is the only boxer in the entire world to have captured seven world titles (including the crown he scored in this victory) in seven different weight divisions. With the win, Pacquiao upped his record to (50-3-2, 38 KOs), further enhancing his already immaculate career. Cotto, meanwhile, suffered his second loss and now carries a (34-2, 27 KOs). Filipinos were again made proud by this achievement of whom they assume to resemble Muhammad Ali. After the fight, it seemed that the audience wants more from Manny and have started shouting “we want Mayweather.” A lot of us hope that this fight will be sealed in a deal also because it will surely be a more explosive one.

“He is strong and smart and that is a dangerous combination for anyone who challenges him. But like every fight, I will not enter the ring alone. My countrymen don’t just give me their support. They also give me their strength, their pride and their love. That is why I must give my all. I fight to win and to give honor to the Philippines.”

“He has fought a lot of tough fighters but never one like me,” said Cotto. “The world will know who the best is when we meet in the ring”

“This fight will be the most exciting and memorable event that Top Rank has promoted in 40 years. I am certain it will take its place as an exciting and action-packed classic such as Hagler vs. Hearns and Ali vs. Frazier III. On November 14, Pacquiao vs. Cotto will join that list of boxing classics.” Many sports analysts say that this will be the hardest and the toughest fight for the reigning pound-for pound king. This will be a perfect test for his career.
