Behind-Closed-Doors Talks Still Going On for MANNY PACQUIAO vs. FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. Fight

First, a happy new year to all. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Golden Boy promotion Oscar Dela Hoya are still in talks for the fruition of the much awaited fight of the century between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an arbitration hearing in California.

Team Pacquiao rejected Team Mayweather's proposal of the blood tests to be taken a few days before the fight. Manny Pacquiao doesn't like the idea of getting blood drawn a day before the fight because history has shown that it only weakens him as seen in his first fight with Erik Morales.
