Floyd Mayweather’s adviser called an Internet report that the proposed Manny Pacquiao fight might not happen because of a disagreement over weight “absolutely absurd” Wednesday.
The proposed March 13 fight, which will happen in either Las Vegas or Dallas, would be contested at the 147-pound welterweight limit.
An Internet report, citing unnamed sources who claimed that Mayweather wanted “wiggle room” in the weight limit was dismissed by his adviser, Leonard Ellerbe.
“There have been a lot of erroneous reports out there and I don’t know where they come from,” Ellerbe said. “All I can say is both sides are working very hard to get it done."

this article was not about mayweather fighting alvarez or mathew. it was to set the record straight about an article posted here a few days ago.
The point remains the same. As so many floyd stans so kindly pointed out repeatedly. Unless Mayweather himself says it...it's bullshit.
Mayweather himself did not confirm or deny anything....so it's bullshit.
Let me set it straight.
Reports that cited Mayweather's closet adviser saying they would fight Saul Alvarez or Matthew Hatton in England get called BS by flomos because Mayweather himself never said it. Now the same sources get cited but because it's in Mayweather's favor it's now a credible report.
Like I said. I call bullshit.this article was not about mayweather fighting alvarez or mathew. it was to set the record straight about an article posted here a few days ago.
ugh can the fight just get signed already.

It's just you. I have the utmost respect for Floyd as a fighter. It's the flomos i'm always negative against.

the other article did not cite mayweather himself either, it was a "report" that was introduced by a pactard writter. this article cites mayweathers closest advisor...
but this article is full of it?

Bump. No way in the world this thread should fizzle-out when, for the past 2 days, folks have made thread after thread about Mayweather trying to get out of the fight because of weight. Now, when that rumor is laid to rest, no one whats to chime in anymore. SMH!!!
lol its like people rather the fight not happen.... bad news everyone is :wank:.... good news everyone is like :dunno:
Didnt say anything quoting Mayweather himself therefore this article is full of it.so let me get this straight...

Told these clowns. That one was so obvious. Stop getting all hyped up about stuff that comes from "unamed sources". Pac's stuff always comes from Roach & Arum but everytime there is a dumb Floyd rumor it comes from "sources". Stop believeing that dumb shit. Its just Arum & Roach throwing that shit out there most of the time to try to make Floyd look bad
That's the reason I don't bother to read updates on the fight. Unless it's in black and white, there's no fight.

ellerbe didn't even deny the "weight" issue...
floyd does'nt need anyone to make himself look bad......he does that great all by himself....
This may or may not be true, but on March 13 at around midnight (central time), Floyd will not look nearly as bad as Manny Pacquaio and the idiots on this site who thought Pac was the GOAT.
And some times its websites looking for publicity.
Its exactly that, y would some no name site like that get a exclusive but not any big time site or news outlet, yet these people eat it right up.
