HOLLYWOOD, California – The speculation of a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather mega fight was the talk of the red carpet at the Hollywood premier of “Manny.”
“It's on the brink of becoming reality. If this fight comes to fruition it's going to break all records,” said boxing legend “Sugar” Ray Leonard.
“Everybody wants to see that fight. It's the dream fight hopefully one day,” said popular UFC ring girl Arianne Celeste.
“The Pacman” said the waiting game continues. Mayweather has until the end of the month to sign the contract.
“We'll… hintayin natin ‘yung decision nila,” he said.
However, one man familiar with both fighters said the fight won't happen.
Alex Ariza, Pacquiao's former strength and conditioning coach who now works with the undefeated Mayweather, said there's one man to blame if the fight fails.
“It's not going to happen. We're fighting May 2nd but it's not going to be Manny Pacquiao,” he said. “Hopefully eventually Bob Arum will blow away in the wind or whatever. As soon as we get rid of him, we can get it on.”
Ariza said that Mayweather will fight again in May.
Top Rank has said that Pacquiao's camp has agreed to all of Mayweather's terms, while HBO and Showtime are negotiating the pay per view television rights of the proposed mega fight.
If the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight does not happen, several opponents have been floated around for both fighters.
Mayweather may have rematch with Miguel Cotto, while Danny Garcia and Amir Kahn may face Pacquiao.
