Mayweather dampens hopes for Manny mega-fight
Print Edition
UNBEATEN fighter Floyd Mayweather dampened talk of a possible mega-fight agreement with Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, a day after the Asian star’s promoter said a deal was near.
Mayweather posted a message on his Shots account that said in part “While they continue to lie about making the fight... I’m just going to continue to travel and explore the world on my private jet. #FightNotMadeYet #Jamaica.”
Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum told the New York Post on Friday that he was optimistic a Pacquiao-Mayweather deal for a May 2 fight in Las Vegas would be sealed in the next few days, with only a few final details to be settled between rival telecasters HBO and Showtime, the rights holders for Pacquiao and Mayweather, respectively.
Mayweather, who turns 38 on February 24, left England’s Amir Khan hanging for months until announcing on his birthday last year that he would fight Argentina’s Marcos Maidana instead.
Mayweather wound up beating the South American twice in 2014, but has yet to test himself against Pacquiao or Khan.
Filipino southpaw Pacquiao is 57-5 with two drawn and 38 knockouts while Mayweather is 47-0 with 26 knockouts.
