Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey, billed as The Event, was a professional boxing match contested on March 13, 2010, for the WBO welterweight championship.
[8] Pacquiao agreed to random blood testing above and beyond that which is required by the rules of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, but not to the extent requested by Mayweather.
However, Pacquiao chose to fight Joshua Clottey instead, a tough boxer from Ghana and the former IBF welterweight champion.
[17] The fight was rewarded with a paid crowd of 36,371 and a gate of $6,359,985, according to post-fight tax reports filed with Texas boxing regulators.
[18] Counting complimentary tickets delivered to sponsors, media outlets and others, the Dallas fight attracted 41,843,[18] well short of the 50,994 that was previously announced,[19] but still an epic number for boxing.
