Because they know the Pac fight will happen. Until that paper is signed, I still doubt Shane will ever get that fight with Floyd.

In a interview I saw of Mayweather's he was saying its a lose/lose situation for him how everyone expects him to knock Pac out and If he were to he would not get credit.

I don't think that is the case at all, I don't pick him to knock Pac out, Pac has proven in the ring that he is a most worthy opponent for anyone around that weight including PBF.

If the fight is made and PBF wins, It will be PBF's biggest and best win IMO... If Pac wins it will be his biggest win, no excuses this would be for all the marbles.

Floyd wont fight any of those 2. His next fight is Amir Khan and then the winner of JMM vs Hatton

Floyd Mayweather Jr., taking an important step to help create an anticipated super-fight against Manny Pacquiao next year, will open dialogue with Top Rank promotions, Mayweather's manager told The Times on Thursday night. "Team Mayweather/Mayweather Promotions have been discussing our options and when we're finished, we'll let (co-promoter) Richard Schaefer express our position to Top Rank," Mayweather's manager, Leonard Ellerbe, told The Times in a telephone interview.
That marks a thawing in what has been an extremely icy relationship between Mayweather and Bob Arum, Top Rank's chairman. Mayweather left Top Rank a few years ago after feeling long overshadowed by the promoter's former star attraction, Oscar De La Hoya.
Mayweather (40-0) proceeded to help generate the richest event in boxing history ($155 million) vs. De La Hoya in 2007, then drew more than 1.9 million buys against Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez.
"It's no secret the camps don't see eye to eye, but this is bigger than boxing," Ellerbe said. "We understand the magnitude of this."
Ellerbe declined to discuss what kind of purse split Mayweather is seeking. "But it's no secret who's the biggest star and draw in boxing," he said.
On Friday, HBO is prepared to announce that Pacquiao's 12th-round TKO of Miguel Cotto generated more pay-per-view buys than Mayweather-Marquez or any other live event this year. Ellerbe notes that Mayweather sold more PPVs in common fights against Hatton, De La Hoya and Marquez.
"The numbers don't lie, people do," Ellerbe said. "(Pacquiao) had good numbers, God bless him, but he had a dance partner this time."
Ellerbe said he'll instruct Schaefer to negotiate with Arum "as soon as possible," but noted, "If the fight can't be made, we'll fight Shane Mosley if he can get best (Andre) Berto (on Jan. 30)."

Well this is good news. I don't think Floyd will fight Mosley, so maybe he will fight Pacman.

WTF? Is Ellerbe really that good of a negotiator? This is a very stupid move on his part because on several occasions, Sugar Shane publicly stated that he would rather fight Pacquiao.

That's weird, so why didn't they make the fight with Shane when Shane was calling him out?

**** i hope he proves me wrong. Its just not consistant with his MO. What if Shane vs Berto has poor ratings (it might), will Floyd still fight Shane? I just don't see why all of a sudden Shane has become an option for Floyd when a month or 2 ago he wasn't. And I don't see how beating Berto changes anything. Maybe cause Floyd likes the WBC belt?

Shane wasn't an option because pac hadn't beat cotto yet. That is the result mayweather was waiting on. Everyone wants to see pac-pbf and soon. Signing to fight shane would have delayed public demand.

Mayweather has to fight Pac first. I got mad love for Shane but the whole world wants to see Mayweather-Pacquiao. so let that fight happen first and if Shane beats Berto, We have another 1+ mil buys for Mayweather-Mosley for undisputed WW king!!! Sounds good to me

That's nice and everything, but Mosley shouldn't have to fight Berto. That's a classic way of ****ing things up. 'Yeah I'll fight him, but let's wait until after he fights this talented young champion first.' He should have accepted the fight right after Mosley jumped the interview.

If Mayweather fights either Pac or Mosley I will eat all the negative words I ever said about him. This is all I ever wanted from the guy, to get into the mix. But I here what you're saying. Although I think Mosley is a good match up for Floyd he might not make it passed Berto and then we're back to square one.
