Sure. Just like Manny Pacquiao had no intentions of taking a challenge this year.
Floyd Mayweather Never Had Intentions Of Fighting PAC

arum worked out a tentative deal with floyd's people to have the fight either on march 13 or may 1.
freddie roach thought march 13 was too soon because of the damage cotto did to pac.
pac said **** it, ended up agreeing to march 13 anyway. bluff called. on to the next roadblock...
We fix one problem and Floyd make up another problem. It's a never ending situation.Comment

here's what really happened:
You're both right. The way I stated it is the way I remembered it, but I went back and looked up some articles, and the way I remembered it was wrong.
The real story:
Arum, HBO, and Team PBF agreed to have the fight on May 1. However, when Arum went to Pac with the offer, Pac said no because he would be campaigning for the elections which would take place on May 10. So Arum suggested March 13, which HBO and Floyd agreed to. Roach was against March 13, but Pac agreed to it, despite the short turnaround from the Cotto fight, since March 13 would not conflict with his campaign schedule.
I always remembered that Floyd used the March 13 date to bluff Pac, but it turns out I was wrong, I admit that.
Not a lie, just a faulty recollection. I admit I was wrong. See above.Comment

Actually what really happened is that Floyd wannted fight May 1st, Roach wanted later on in the year becaus eof the election....Then he said they would fight Foreman in March and then Floyd's camp said so why don't we just fight in March....And the rest is history.
I don't think Floyd is ducking Manny but it's hard to defend him when he says he wants to go on vacation....I killed Mosely for saying the same thing when Floyd wanted to fight him and I have to do the same for Floyd.
All I can hope is that Margarito does not beat Manny....so that this figth can be made for next MayComment

Hes an unusual guy Floyd. He dont seem to want anyone. I doubt his father can read his mind as well, because otherwise Senior would talk more about what the hell Floyd is thinking.
Damn poker faces of boxers that you cant read them.Comment

In my honest opinion, PAC was never in his plans when he decided to come back
i truly believe that Floyd felt Hatton was going to beat PAC...he came back during the buildup of that fight...there were even reports of him visiting the UK and mentioning a rematch
when PAC blew Hatton out of the water, the public's demands for a PAC-PBF fight became enormous...everyone was buzzing at the thought
when PAC destroyed Cotto, Floyd had to think fast to stall and he lucked out
Arum was so intent on holding a fight in Texas for his pal Jerry Jones and Floyd's reluctance to fight outside of Vegas quickly squashed any kind of re-negotiations
and now, when PAC has accepted the terms, Floyd has run out of excuses...thats why he decided to go on vacation
the only thing that will happen now is for PAC-Tony to be a big success to give Floyd that last out
after November, PAC will look back and think 'damn, in two fights i did over 2mil ppv buys AND i put OVER 100K people in a stadium'
50-50 will sound like a generous offer to give to Floyd...at which Floyd will ask for 60 or over
the final nail in the coffin...no fightComment
