after his victory over clottey, pacquiao was expected to return to boxing in late 2010 with a possible matchup against floyd mayweather jr.. it was later reported that golden boy promotions ceo richard schaefer and top rank chief bob arum worked out a "super fight" between manny pacquiao and floyd mayweather jr.. however, complications arose when mayweather requested pacquiao undergo random blood and urine testing up until the fight day. pacquiao responded that he would agree to undergo blood and urine testing up until 14 days before the fight (as requested by mayweather in the first round of negotiations), stating that giving blood too close to the fight day would weaken him. on may 13, 2010, pacquiao's promoter bob arum announced that he had penciled in november 13, 2010 as the date of manny pacquiao's next fight, possibly against mayweather. however, the stumbling block over demands that pacquiao submit to olympic-level random drug testing put the fight in jeopardy.

it was revealed following mayweather vs. pacquiao that pacquiao had sustained an undisclosed injury to his right shoulder while training and that while it had healed in time for the fight, he re-injured it during the 4th round. , pacquiao is currently facing a lawsuit of 5 million dollars filed against him by two fans for failing to disclose the shoulder injury in the lead up to his bout with floyd mayweather. pacquiao failed to disclose the injury to the nevada state athletic commission in the pre-fight injury evaluation. the commission did a standard injury report with pacquiao filling out the form saying that he had no injuries heading into the bout. pacquiao said he had sustained the injury weeks out from the fight against mayweather. however, after the lawsuit from the two fans was filed against him, pacquiao has since said that he sustained the injury during the fight in which it flared up in the 3rd round. the nevada state athletic commission stated at the post fight press conference that they had only just found out about pacquiao's injury that evening at the post fight press conference. speculation arose that the injury was an excuse for the loss to mayweather because pacquiao did not mention an injury in the post fight interview with max kellerman. pacquiao's promoter bob arum stated that pacquiao suffered the injury back in 2008, causing even more confusion as pacquiao, now facing a lawsuit, had just previously stated that he suffered the injury during the fight.
