Mayweather Camp Says Pacquiao Isn’t Interested in Fight
Mayweather Pacquiao Fight
After November 12th’s fight where Manny Pacquiao won a close decision over Juan Manuel Marquez, everyone felt negotiations for a Mayweather Pacquiao fight was almost certain.
However, it seems things have fallen apart before they even started. Floyd Mayweather’s advisor Leonard Ellerbe and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer both said Monday November 14th that they were notified that Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum is not interested in talks to make the fight happen.
Even though Pacquiao said in his post-fight interview that he’s ready for Floyd Mayweather: “Let’s get it on. Let’s make the fight happen and give the people a good fight.”
The close Pacquaio decision, plus Mayweather announcing that he planned to fight on May 5 at the MGM Grand, seemed to set the table for a Mayweather Pacquiao fight. However, according to Floyd Mayweather’s team, Pacquiao isn’t ready to make such a commitment.
Bob Arum did confirm rumors of a fourth Marquez fight.
“We are pursuing a fourth fight with Marquez. As far as doing anything definitively, we aren’t ready to do anything definitively. When we are ready to make a determination of what we are going to do, we will do it,” said Arum. “We are not going to do this in the press. We will do what is in the best interest of ourselves and our client and make a decision when it’s time to. If we decide we want to do a rematch with Marquez, there is no reason to sit down with Mayweather. If we want to explore a Mayweather fight, we will sit down with them. But I’m not going to sit down with them just because it’s a good show.”
Mayweather Pacquiao Fight – Pac-Man’s team “cowards.”
Leonard Ellerbe, called Pac-Man’s team “cowards.”
“In my opinion, you have three cowards — Bob Arum, (Pacquiao trainer) Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao,” he said. “Now we all know the truth, once and for all, why this fight hasn’t been made. It should be clear to everyone that they don’t care what the fans want, especially when Floyd is ready, willing and able to fight Manny Pacquiao now. Floyd said if this isn’t clear, he doesn’t know what is.
“All along we know why the fight isn’t being made,” Ellerbe continued. “This is the perfect opportunity. Both guys just fought. This is the fight the fans want to see, and it’s a disgrace that they are not willing to give the fans what they want. In my opinion, there are three reasons why Arum doesn’t want the fight. He knows there is no way that Manny Pacquiao can win, it kills his cash cow, and he wants to do in-house fights where he controls both sides. I said all along why this fight hasn’t been made to this point. Manny Pacquiao knows, Bob Arum knows and Freddie Roach knows.”
Floyd Mayweather last fought in September, knocking out Victor Ortiz in controversial victory. Everyone now wants to see a Mayweather Pacquiao fight, but as of now it doesn’t look like this will happen.
