MANILA, Philippines – Did Manny and Floyd already seal the deal?
After their unprecedented meeting inside the American Airlines Arena in Florida during a basketball game, Floyd Mayweather personally went to the hotel where Manny Pacquiao is staying and chatted with the Filipino boxer, a radio report said.
Bernard Cloma, who was described in the program as Pacquiao’s close friend, told DZMM that Mayweather and Pacquiao met at the living room of Pacquiao’s hotel.
Cloma added that Pacquiao’s wife, Jinky, was present during the two boxers’ conversation.
He said that he overheard during their conversation that their megafight would push through.
Cloma accompanied Pacquiao when the boxing icon met Prince Harry in London and when he went to the 2015 Miss Universe where he was one of the pageant’s judges.
On Wednesday morning (Manila time), Pacquiao and Mayweather finally met during the NBA game between the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks in Florida.
“He gave his number to me and said we will communicate with each other,” said Pacquiao. NC

Looks like Floyd is trying to sabotage the fight by taking things into his own hands IMHO
Great PR stunt there by Floyd trying to appear as though he wants the fight to happen but at the end of the day he wants to complicate things.
He's probably going to offer Pac another flat fee offer or try to convince him to leave Bob Arum.
:rofl: :rofl:

It looks like he confused the courtside meeting with the hotel meeting based on his reply to one of the questions. Got Ronnie N confirming so I think its safe to assume they did meet.
i don't think any of them was scared, but in the vine video manny's expression at the end is not encouraging, he seems kinda disappointed with the situation like "well.... whatever...."
I read his lips saying "OK, not a problem..." I don't think that's a bad sign at all.
And regarding the "stop lying" line, I bet Floyd said that to Koncz, no way he would say that directly to Manny if his intention is to keep it civilized and progressive.

OH **** so they did meetup later. Surprised Manny let him in after the verbal beatdown FLoyd gave him! lol
Regardless if the fight is made or not; these two meeting in person and communicating directly can only be seen as a good sign/move for both.
Props to Floyd for walking across the court and meeting Pacquiao without his TBE/MoneyMay persona, I saw Floyd the business man in those video clips.
Christ. Floyd wouldn't have walked up to him if he were scared. Manny obviously isn't scared.
You guys are honestly pathetic.
"Oh he was sweating. He's so scared. Pac's gonna knock him out with a jab"
Shut the fuck up already.
pacquiao has seen spilled guts and severed heads since the age of 5, he woke up to the smell of rotting corpses
the guy fears no man
Exactly and these floyd fans are saying he is nervous or scared, wtf? I saw Floyd trying not to maintain eye contact and his forehead was sweating while Pac was staring at him and his eyes were following him like Tyson was following McNeely at the staredown.
Wtf? its clear in the video Pacquiao was the one who was staring and trying to get eye contact with Floyd on Sports Center. Floyd was sweating like a hog on his forehead and kept talking to Koncz.
Also this is funny because 50 cent said whenever Floyd talked to Manny he becomes *****, like he told Manny before Manny you have more than boxing and all this crap that Floyd had no side gig and Boxing and his legacy was more important.
I wouldn't doubt if Floyd told Manny, to let him win the first fight and he will give Manny a rematch, because Manny has losses and he doesn't and its more important for his legacy if he maintains his 0.
Its just weird why would Floyd meet Manny? only to mislead the public again, I don't trust Floyd at all. Especially after his hype man Ben Thompson wrote that BS piece saying Floyd confronted and told them stop lying. Talk about propaganda and manipulation right there, its clear as day they were being cordial and clear as day Pac was no intimidated, you telling me a guy who grew up on the streets of Gen San is going to be scared of Floyd, Pac is one of the most fearless fighters who never gets scared of getting knocked out or hit in the ring, he is one of the only boxers who when you hurt him or knock him down actually claps his gloves and comes back at you ten fold and gets mad, most fighters will retreated and get scared not Pac it ignite him.

Glad jinkee was present, two men having secret meetings in hotel room is weird especially considering pacquiao has been photographed in a bed with other men and floyds close relationship with ellerbe.
