As the boxing public begins to look forward to buying Cotto v. Foreman Yankee Stadium tickets, heads are once more turning in a familiar direction; Mayweather vs. Pacquiao tickets are once more being discussed as a reality, after Mayweather beat Shane Mosley on points and re-ignited the discussion of the decade. Mayweather’s accusation that Pacquiao had used drugs to improve performance are all but forgotten as the two camps tentatively begin to explore the possibilities once again. Mayweather carried on his rant against performance enhancing drugs all the way up to his recent Mosley victory, and he has even been commended by people connected to the regulation of such things in the sport of boxing.

Pacquiao still has a defamation lawsuit pending against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his camp, but we imagine this will be swiftly withdrawn when – sorry, if – the two decide to climb into the ring to fight. Now Mayweather has done his part in the double anti-climax involving Joshua Clottey and Shane Mosley, it seems he is ready to let bygones be bygones and reach some kind of workable agreement with Mayweather’s people. A bid to make this fight happen is underway, make no mistake about that. Who knows which way it will go? I suspect that Mayweather will be still pushing for the same type of unlimited urine testing but with possible constraints on blood sampling around the time of the actual fight, whenever that may be.

Just a couple of days following Mayweather Jr’s defeat of Mosley, Pacquiao began to talk about this fight getting back on track. Mayweather v Pacquiao may still happen, and that’s the one the whole world wants to see. Mayweather continues to show that he is prepared to suffer virtually any inconvenience to make sure he isn’t using performance enhancing drugs. I guess we can take this as evidence that he doesn’t use them, right?

Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo the testing was most likely a reaction to the controlling nature of the Mayweather camp, when he stated he would only entertain an end to blood testing 30 days before the fight. He gave in to 24 days eventually, but this ended up not being enough to see things through. Now, however, we may have another shot at seeing this monumental superfight. Mayweather v. Pacquiao could have happened before we hit 2011, and that will be fantastic.
