( CNN ) -- Manny Pacquiao has put failed talks of a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jnr behind him as he turns his focus to a bout with Joshua Clottey at the Cowboys Stadium . The Filipino will defend his World Boxing Organization ( WBO ) welterweight title against Ghanaian Clottey on March 13 at the $ 1.2billion home of the Dallas Cowboys football team . Pacquiao had been scheduled to face unbeaten American Mayweather on the date before the proposed super-fight collapsed when the Filipino rejected requests from his opponent to have unprecedented random blood testing . But the 31-year-old confirmed that he is now fully focused on his new opponent , not any possible fight with Mayweather . It 's going to be a good fight , '' Pacquiao said at a press conference to promote the fight . `` Clottey , he is a good fighter , a top fighter , and he is bigger than me . I have to prepare hard for this fight and train hard and focus . '' When asked about Mayweather , Pacquiao 's trainer Freddie Roach said things had moved on but revealed his fighter would be ready to take on the American on the right terms . `` Life goes on without Mayweather . He would n't agree to a limit of 14 days before the fight . We did our best to appease him but he would n't go along with it , '' Roach explained . `` Mayweather 's people agreed to it but Mayweather would n't go along with it . I do n't think he wants to fight Manny . It was a smoke screen for him to say no . `` I want to beat this guy 's ass , believe me , but he wo n't give us the opportunity . We will fight him any day of the week . But he does n't make the rules . '' Any Pacquiao-Mayweather fight would have been staged in Las Vegas and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones added that the breakdown in talks benefited him . `` It did . This gave us an opening . We were very aggressive and we were pretty quick to make a deal , '' Jones said . `` We 're going to make this one of the most interesting fights to view that there 's ever been . We 're going to have some fun with it . ''
