Don't tell the online bookmakers there won't be a Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao showdown before the year is over. Mayweather - Pacquiao fight odds were still being offered by the folks at Sportsbetting.com with Mayweather as the -130 favorite and Pacquiao paying even odds.
The one stipulation is that the fight must take place in 2010 in order for there to be action on the bet. Funds are returned otherwise.
Pacquiao reportedly agreed to fight Mayweather on March 13, 2010, for a split of 50 million dollars up front. And it was later agreed that the venue for the fight would be the MGM Grand Las Vegas. However, the bout was put in jeopardy due to disagreements about Olympic-style drug testing.
The Mayweather camp wanted random blood testing by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, whereas Pacquiao refused to have any blood testing within 30 days from the fight, because he thought it would weaken him, but he was willing to have blood taken from him before the 30-day window as well as immediately after the fight.
Consequently, on January 7, 2010, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum declared that the fight was officially off.
