Every single one of your links is dated 6 months after the negotiation ended

Manny apparently " agreed " to 14-days about 6 months later

Ya wally, WHY DIDNT PAC AGREE DURING THE NEGOTIATION ?

Those two links work from my PC dude, just not in a boxingscene post.
BoxingScene edit links to their own articles? WTF?

Floyd Mayweather’s adviser vehemently denied an Associated Press report Monday that talks for a Manny Pacquiao fight could resume as soon as Tuesday.
The report was based on an interview Monday with Freddie Roach, who trains Pacquiao but is not involved with the Filipino star in a negotiating capacity.
Roach’s remark turned into an international story, which Leonard Ellerbe dismissed as "ridiculous."
“Ain’t nobody thinking about Manny Pacquiao, Bob Arum or Freddie Roach,” Ellerbe said. “Floyd isn’t thinking about none of them, and there ain’t no negotiations starting, period. Floyd is just coming off a great win. He’s not thinking about any of them.”
Arum promotes Pacquiao and negotiates fights on his behalf, along with the fighter’s adviser, Michael Koncz.
Mayweather scored a 12-round unanimous decision over Shane Mosley on May 1 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Pay-per-view numbers for Mayweather-Mosley have not been released, and Mark Taffet, HBO vice president for sports and pay-per-view, said some key markets have not been fully accounted.
Ellerbe said he has been advised the fight will come in at about 1.4 million buys, which would translate to about $77 million in revenue and make it the second-highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in pay-per-view history.
The only such fight to gross more was Mayweather’s 2007 win over Oscar De La Hoya, which produced all-time records for any weight division with 2.48 million buys and more than $136 million.
Felix Trinidad-De La Hoya, in 1999, would fall to the third-highest-grossing non-heavyweight fight, with 1.4 million buys and $71 million.
Mayweather and Pacquiao tried to put together a March fight, but the proposal collapsed last winter over a disagreement regarding drug testing.
Mayweather wants all his future opponents to submit to random, Olympic-style blood and urine testing. Pacquiao refused. A compromise failed to reach fruition when Mayweather said he would allow a cutoff of blood testing 14 days before the fight, while Pacquiao insisted on a cutoff 24 days before the fight.
Stop trying to rewrite history wackjob.
