U.S (AHN) – After the highly-publicized squabble on the doping test, Manny Pacquiao fired back on the Floyd Mayweather’s steroid accusations, leading to a possible legal battle between two camps.

Pacquiao, widely recognized as the best fighter in the world, said he is all fed up by accusations he has been taking steroids as part of his regimen.

Everything was set for the highly-touted bout between two of the era’s best fighters, but hit a snag due to one costly fight detail.

Mayweather wanted to employ Olympic-style drug testing that will be facilitated by the U.S Anti-Doping Agency, but Pacquaio did not agree to the stipulation.

The Olympic-style drug testing requires the athletes to have a random drug testing through blood samples during the training camp, a week before the fight, and at fight night.

Pacquiao insisted that the drug testing being conducted by the Nevada commission is enough to determine boxers are free from using performance-enhancing drugs such as steroids.

Weeks before the Cotto fight, Floyd Mayweather Sr. spoke in an interview alleging Pacquiao of using steroids in every fight.

Pacquiao said he has heard enough and plans to file a libel suits against Mayweather Jr and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.

HBO endorsed Sen. John McCain to serve as the mediator on the drug testing issues but talks between the two camps are at an impasse.

Top-Rank head honcho Bob Arum said that he has been working out an alternative fight for Pacquiao on March 13.

Former Jr. Welterweight champion Paul Malignaggi, the newest challenger for Pacman’s WBO welterweight title, is a possible opponent.

The fight considered as the most lucrative bout in boxing history may never happen, at least in the ring.

Because in the next few the two fighters could attend another expensive battle, this time in court.
