damn, floyd is straight lying in that interview.
He said Al Haymon never heard anything from Pacquiao's side. Greenburg already proved there were negotiations.
Second he said the reason they didn't fight was because Pac wanted the 2 week cut off date. Well how the fuck would you know that if al haymon supposedly never talked to anyone from pac's side in the first place?! lmao! anyways, 2 week cutoff was good enough the first negotiations, not the second? Really that's the reason? I thought it was because floyd was on vacation and wasn't even thinking about boxing? It's funny to me he has all these excuses NOW but months ago wouldn't even speak on pacquiao. Once pac is signed to fight he can talk for days.Comment

Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisors, then issued a bizarre statement claiming no negotiations ever took place. That was corroborated by Richard Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions, with which Mayweather is affiliated.
Now Greenburg releases a short statement on Monday evening saying he did in fact act as a go-between in negotiations with the two sides.
The statement:
“Fights like Mayweather vs. Pacquiao are significant because of these fighters’ ability to connect with sports fans around the world. It’s unfortunate that it won’t happen in 2010. I had been negotiating with a representative from each side since May 2nd, carefully trying to put the fight together. Hopefully, someday this fight will happen. Sports fans deserve it.”
