Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, who promotes Manny Pacquiao, called media reports "premature and inaccurate" that a Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather megafight for March 13 is all but a done deal.
Arum flew to The Philippines Wednesday where he hopes to get Pacquiao to agree to the proposed deal that has been agreed to in principle by the representatives of the two sides, but a contract has yet to be signed by either fighter.
Reached by phone Wednesday evening (Thursday morning in the Philippines), Arum said, "I haven't even talked to Manny. I don't know what's happening on the other side with Mayweather.
"I'm not playing games about this," Arum said.

But see, the media was really the one to blame on the ducking thing going on.
