Michael Koncz, adviser to WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, had a few choice words regarding a possible mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Koncz told BoxingScene.com's Ryan Burton that Mayweather is likely waiting for Pacquiao's abilities to decline. Negotiations to make the fight have failed twice.
"Do I personally think it will ever happen? I believe that it will only happen under one condition - Mayweather will wait until he sees Manny decline in his abilities and then he may do it, and I don't even know how certain that is," Koncz told BoxingScene.com.
Shane Mosley is the frontrunner to face Pacquiao on April 16 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank, tried reaching out to Mayweather. They never heard back. Pacquiao is not going to wait on Mayweather any longer.
"We're not even looking at Mayweather. We tried in good faith to negotiate two times with him. He made fools out of us twice. He has [Top Rank CEO] Bob Arum's number. They have my number. If they are interested in the fight, they are welcome to call us," Koncz said.
