Pacquiao Vs Clottey Fight - March 13, 2010 Watch Online Streaming Live

Joshua Clottey is another Top Rank boxer in Arums stable who lost to Miguel Cotto in his last fight. Clottey will not ask for the random drug testing that Manny Pacquiao refused to allow in the Mayweather Jr. "negotiations".

This fight was announced less than one hour after Mayweather, who was still hoping to get the megafight to happen, released this statement:

"Throughout this whole process I have remained patient, but at this point I am thoroughly disgusted that Pacquiao and his representatives are trying to blame me for the fight not happening when clearly the blame is on them.

Clottey Vows to give Pacquiao all that he wants on March 13

The muscular Ghanaian Joshua Clottey has vowed not to run inside the ring, and he’ll bring the fight to the Filipino pound-for-pound superstar Manny Pacquiao from the opening bell.

“I will follow him; I will come forward in the fight,” the 33-year-old Clottey told James Slater of eastsideboxing.com on Wednesday.

Very Grateful for the fight and opportunity given him by Manny Pacquiao and Top Rank Promotions, Clottey said he wants to return the favor by promising a hell of a fight for the World Boxing Organization welterweight title bout on March 13 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“I want Manny Pacquiao to know that he picked a guy who will give him all that he wants,” Clottey also told Lem Satterfield of Boxing Fanhouse in another interview. “I’m going to fight until the last bell.”

In his last fight, Pacquiao was left pursuing a backpedalling Miguel Cotto in the last few rounds, eventually stopping the Puerto Rican in the 12th. Cotto came into the fight at a catch weight of 145 pounds after salvaging a close decision over Clottey.

Clottey is over two inches taller than Pacquiao at nearly 5-foot-9 and is expected to tip the scales at around 160 lb on fight night. It would make him the biggest man the General Santos lefty has ever faced in the ring.

After a vacation with his family on Samal Island in Philippines, Pacquiao plans to leave for Los Angeles on Sunday, according to boxing promoter and trusted confidante Rex “Wakee” Salud.

Pacquiao will be accompanied by trainer Nonoy Neri, lawyer Jing Gacal and adviser Michael Koncz.

Top Rank honcho Bob Arum has scheduled a kickoff press conference for the bout at the Cowboys Stadium on Jan. 19.

Pacquaio Team Choose Joshua Clottey

With his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. all but off, Manny Pacquiao VS Joshua Clottey on March 13, at Dallas Cowboys Stadium offering a record $25 million site fee, landed the next best thing.

Clottey's manager told ESPN.com's Dan Rafael that he spoke to Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank's Bob Arum, on Friday about the fight's details but would only confirm a "seven-figure" purse.

Clottey (35-3, 20 KOs) last fought in a split-decision loss to welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto on June 13, a fight that Manny Pacquiao aslo believed Joshua Clottey won.

"This is going to be one of the biggest events in the history of boxing," Arum said. "This is the most incredible stadium setting I have ever seen. It is absolutely unbelievable. This is going to be much, much more than just a boxing match. A lot of things that happen are ordained by God. We weren't going to go here for Pacquiao-Mayweather fight because Schaefer wouldn't get on a plane and come down here and see the place. So that didn't happen. And now that fight isn't happening. And now we are here with Manny for another fight. When people see this event and how it will be presented, nothing in the past will ever compare to it."
