NO TRADE-OFF ON PACQUIAO LAWSUIT

Pound ?for-pound king Manny Pacquiao?s adviser Michael Koncz has made it clear that any talk of a possible trade-off with Floyd Mayweather Jr?s camp in order to arrange a multi-million dollar super-fight is ?totally absurd.?
Koncz said that Pacquiao?s reputation and his good name have been maligned by the Mayweathers and Golden Boy Promotions and that the lawsuit filed against them by top-notch attorney Daniel Petrocelli ?will proceed without let-up.?
Koncz said ?they have, by their unfounded allegations, caused damage to Manny and they must answer for that.?
He said ?a trade-off is out of the question? and nobody either in Team Pacquiao or outside have been authorized to make such proposals.
Floyd Mayweather Jr and his handlers had demanded random Olympic-style blood tests until 14 days before their originally scheduled fight on May 1 but Pacquiao offered a 24 day cutoff period even as he made it clear he was not averse to taking a blood test up to that point in time, before a fight.
Pacquiao had earlier made it clear to us that he would not give in to Mayweather?s demands and indicated the right thing to do would be to abide by any decision of the Nevada State Athletic Commission which had jurisdiction over the planned fight since it was to be held in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao said he doesn?t need a Mayweather fight to cement his place in boxing history and that he doesn?t even wish to talk about a fight against him right now since he is busy with his bid for a congressional seat in the May 10 elections.
The Mayweathers as well as Golden Boy Promotions CEO had accused Pacquiao of being on performance enhancing drugs without presenting a shred of evidence to support their allegations..
Pacquiao has repeatedly stated he doesn?t even know anything about performance enhancing drugs or steroids and insisted that his success has been achieved through relentless work during training, the proper diet and the right vitamin supplements.
