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."
