    Mayweather adviser: Reports on conflict over weight for Pacquiao fight 'absurd'

    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."

    Told these clowns. That one was so obvious. Stop getting all hyped up about stuff that comes from "unamed sources". Pac's stuff always comes from Roach & Arum but everytime there is a dumb Floyd rumor it comes from "sources". Stop believeing that dumb ****. Its just Arum & Roach throwing that **** out there most of the time to try to make Floyd look bad

                I knew just by reading the way the "report" was written that it was bogus.

                  Yeah and sometimes its just individual writers who flat out hate Floyd. Just read some of Scoop Malinowski's stuff. I would never believe that a writer would make up stuff but I honestly believe that he would and has just to make Floyd look bad and all of them can hide behind the word "sources".
