Despite the disclosure last week by Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum that Showtime/CBS and HBO are discussing the possibility of having two Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bouts in 2015, Money May doused cold water on the fight.

He told Black Sports Online writer Kel Dansby at a media event at his Las Vegas gym that he would only agree to face the Filipino champ in the ring if the congressman will sign with his Mayweather Promotions.

With Mayweather's condition, the dream match is next to dead because Pacquiao;s contract with Top Rank runs until December 2016, which means the earliest time the bout could take place is January 2017 when Mayweather turns 40 and Pacquao would be 38 by then.

In response to Mayweather's latest demand, Pacquiao replied, quoted by the Los Angeles Times, "I want to give the people what they want, the fight with Mayweathere, but what can I do if he doesn't want to fight?"

Pacquiao added, "He's ducking another opponent, and it's known all over the world who he should fight. So ... I feel sorry for him. What he needs is ... to know how to communicate with people. That's why I'm so happy and have peace of mind."

For the fight to happen before the two boxers get too old, Arum said there should be cooperation between HBO, Pacquiao's pay-per-view network, and Showtime, where Mayweather is signed up.

seems like he is trying to control the fight from the inside. looking for help from judges or refs by being the employer and fighter. every fight i see when a boxer promotes his own fight seems like conflict of interest to me.

I honestly thought this was how everyone felt about the fight. It's cute some people still have that glimmer of hope though

Floyd gay's himself right up and embarrasses his fans yet again. Its almost a daily occurrence now. Hard times for floydgays!

It's pretty much common knowledge that Mayweather doesn't want to fight Pacquiao. This is just another way for him to say it. Fewer people care about the fight happening everyday. Soon, no one will even comment on threads about it. Soon after that, there won't be any threads about Mayweather at all. Then once again, there will be peace in the land.
