It's been reported by a few boxing scribes (Dan Rafael) and websites that Mayweather vs Pacquiao is a done deal! Bob Arum is in the Phillipines today to finalize the deal with Pacquiao himself. After arriving in Manilla Arum was quoted as saying in part that Mayweather has been RELUCTANT to do the fight for fear he may be KO'd and afterwards saying that's why it is imperative for Pacquiao to sign for the fight??
Sounds like double speak to me since Mayweather in principle has already accepted Pacquiao's terms to fight! For Mayweather's part he stepped up and accepted the ultimatum put out by Freddie Roach saying March 2010 or else...they'll fight Yuri Foreman.. Just today other news about the fight has the venue narrowed down to Dallas and Las Vegas. Also Freddie Roach is now saying that Pacquiao needs more time to heal his busted right eardrum so the fight may not take place in March.
Some fans are wondering about Team Pacquiao's intentions right about now considering it was his side that made the ultimatum towards Mayweather for a March 2010 fight rather than May 2010. This ultimatum supersedes an earlier proclamation by Roach who said he would need more time to prepare Pacquiao for Mayweather and that May 2010 would be better. Then came the ultimatum with Roach changing his mind saying that Mayweather really doesn't want to fight Pacquao and if he does he better accept the fight for March 2010. Mayweather DID accept!
With all of this information in Mayweather is now being lambasted for accepting the fight, the reason, he's trying to take advantage of Pacquiao's ear injury, not giving Pacquiao time to heal. Before accepting this fight he was being lambasted for not accepting the fight. Others are lambasting Team Pacquiao for putting out the ultimatum and not following thru on their end of it because as of yet Pacquiao's intentions are unknown. Just last week Bernard Hopkins prophesized that Mayweather/Pacquiao or if you like Pacquiao/ Mayweather won't be made and that Mayweather/Mosley WILL be made. If this turns out to be the case, it will be Maweather's fault that a fight against Pacquiao didn't materialize. But will we be cheated seeing Money and Sugar mix it up??
