There remains a silver lining despite the continued standoff in the mediation talks aimed at saving the March 13 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
“At least what we heard was not an announcement saying the fight is off,” said Pacquiao lawyer Franklin Gacal. “Perhaps, they’re still trying to tie up some loose ends.”
Representatives of both fighters – with Bob Arum and stepson Todd DuBoef of Top Rank as Pacquiao’s emissaries and Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) and Mayweather adviser Al Haymon taking the lead for Mayweather – met for nine hours Tuesday before retired federal judge and top mediator Daniel Weinstein in Santa Monica, California.
“We’ve been told not to comment,” Arum told The Bulletin as soon as he stepped out of Weinstein’s office. “There’s a gag order.”
“The longer it is, the better it is. (That) means they’re still working at it,” - Sternburg.
