Boxing: Mayweather extends conditional offer

LAS VEGAS: WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather has reiterated his preference to have a bout with Manny Pacquiao, given that a drug-related stipulation is met. Mayweather has stated that a show-down with the Filipino can be confirmed as soon as Pacquiao agrees to submit to random drug testing. “I told Pacquiao May 5 is open,” said Mayweather. “He said he was a clean athlete and that he would take the tests. Let’s do it.”
