MANILA, Philippines - Filipino boxing champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has confirmed that negotiations are ongoing with the camp of unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather Jr. regarding a possible mega-fight.
"Ongoing ang negotiation sa fight namin ni Mayweather, hindi pa final (Negotiations are ongoing for my fight with Mayweather, but nothing is final)," Pacquiao said in a press conference after his homecoming in General Santos City.
Pacquiao said that Mayweather may be more eager to fight him now, after his fight against Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez last November 12 in Las Vegas.
Although he won via majority decision, Pacquiao was not his usual explosive self, and admitted that Marquez's counter-punching style gave him trouble. Many analysts and observers have said that Marquez deserved to win the fight, rather than Pacquiao.
"Nakita n'ya na, 'pwede ko na labanan si Manny, dahil medyo nahirapan s'ya si Marquez, e si Marquez, binugbog ko lang'," Pacquiao said of Mayweather. (Mayweather may be thinking, I can fight Pacquiao now because he had trouble against Marquez, and I was able to beat up Marquez).
Mayweather routed Marquez completely when they met in 2009.
It was reported earlier this week that Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, had traveled to Las Vegas to meet with Top Rank chief executive officer Bob Arum regarding the Mayweather fight.
Pacquiao is hoping that the negotiations will fall into place so that his much awaited mega-fight with Mayweather will finally happen.
"'Yan ang pinakaa-abangan ng boxing fans," he said. (This is what boxing fans are waiting for).
because it's more bull**** from their camp.
well at least they said something coz if they didnt flomos like u will always say why so quiet in Pac camp.....either way Pac loses SMH
i dont see why anyone would have anything negative to say in this thread. let this **** happen.
Nobody will have too, because Bob Arum will....
Let's hope Bob wants it now after nearly 3 years. Will Bob cash out or will he continue to milk his cow and avoid the fight?
I guess we will wait and see since Pac never said anything like; Regardless of what Bob Arum wants or says, this is what will happen because I said so..........
"leg cramps"
"arm too sore from guitar hero"
"moth flew in my ear"
"socks on too tight"
"hair dandruff bothers me"
"me fight black americans?"
"sorry no, I lost my a-side meth"
I'm done with Pacquiao, but if this is true (which I doubt) then great news! Let's make it happen, Floyd has the date and venue ready so no more excuses from Pac and his team will be acceptable.
God I hope Pacquiao is serious about this, and is serious about telling Arum to go f**k himself in regards to a 4th fight with Marquez.
If there is no fight with Mayweather, it will be bulls**t and there is no possible way Pac and his team could spin it this time.
It's amazing how all this came from the media putting pressure on Pac. Now if they had done this 2 years ago, instead of attacking Floyd, we wouldn't have had to wait this long.
real shit right here.
"talk to my promoter"
"we want the fight but Arum doesnt"
"I will make my decision after Christmas"
"we're in talks"
Which one is it ?
i dont see why anyone would have anything negative to say in this thread. let this **** happen.
I strongly agree... Enough bad mouthing or speculating... do it:boxing: gogogo Pacman:popcorn:
How can they be negotiating when Pac himself has been quoted as saying he will look over his options AFTER X-Mas??? Last I checked,it is still November-lol
Sounds like another one of team Pac's phantom negotiations...let me guess, Arum won't be there,or they will want it away from the public's scrutiny? lmao
you can negotiate now and make a decision later

It's the flomos doing it(not real floyd fans but the ones that have a serious crush on floyd to the point its scary)
This week there has been 5 different storys from Team Pac , including from Manny himself , and they all conflicting , you ever heard the saying they cried wolf ,,
So which story is the right one ?
The one that says Manny is DUCKING the fight , otherwise there would only be 1 story , not 5 .
