Boxing bettors have been waiting for quite some time for the mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao to make apartment, and now the cast doubt upon has to be asked as to whether it will happen at all. Mayweather is coming up on the two-week deadline he was given to agree to a deal in something more than principle, but there hasn’t been any contract signed. Now the promoter is calling a press ure conference for 3 AM Eastern time to make an announcement, and I would say the betting odds are greatly in favor of Mayweather missing his deadline.

If you are waiting for the settlement for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight to be consummated, you better not hold your breath. There has been much speculation as to whether Floyd Mayweather will indeed send up c depart the fight and what will happen to both of the fighters if the fight doesn’t happen. Michael Wilbon, the ESPN commentator who is not much of a boxing yourselves, has gone so far as to call Mayweather a "coward" already. From years of being involved in boxing, I’m not firm that being a "coward" enters too much into it, but I can tattle you, that there are so myriad things that happen behind the scenes, that the public or press is not privy to that factor into this kind of negotiation.
I warned all of you the first heyday this deal was t heorized to have been "agreed to. " I warned you just recently when it was assumed to be "agreed to" again. There is NO deal in boxing that is ever done until a contract is signed. Please take my set forth for it. In fact, every so often announcing that a scrimmage is happening gives everybody of the contestants a chance to exercise more leverage to get what he wants, and often that is something that is outside the original parameters that were discussed. The first anon a punctually this fight was a "done deal,&q uot; the issue was Mayweather’s insistence that Pacquiao submit to periodic drug testing.
I don’t know which issues have really been pertinent this time all over, but I can tell you that when we wrote a story prevalent this a few weeks ago, the missing ingredient was that, even in spite of the "camps" had agreed on something, Mayweather himself had not been addressed. I would say that is a pretty important and interested party to leave until matrix.
Now comes word, just a few minutes ago, that promoter Bob Arum of Supreme Rank, who has interests with Manny Pacquiao, has scheduled a media conference scold for 3 AM ET (that’s technically Saturday morning on the east coast), and in the email notification, it was mentioned that such a time was appropriate because it was the deadline given to Mayweather to agree to the fight – you know, the harmonious that had already been "agreed to.
