    All the fans of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquaio who have been waiting for Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight, are in for a disappointment. The proposed face-off between the two fighters is unlikely to take place. Though HBO and public pressure was hoped to make Mayweather to sign the contract, it is unexpected that the fighter will change his tune.


    Some experts believe that fear of being knocked out by Pacquiao is the reason behind Mayweather’s unwillingness to sign on the dotted line for the much awaited Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight.
    Experts say the reason behind this conclusion is Paul Williams’s promoter Dan Goossen’s attempts to arrange for a Williams vs. Pacquiao fight, if Mayweather vs Pacquiao fails to take place. According to experts, Goossen has inside information that Mayweather won’t sign the contract as he and Al Haymon, who advises Mayweather and Williams, have been associates for years.
    Experts believe that the strategy employed by Goossen and Haymon is to put pressure on Pacquiao to fight Paul Williams next so as to avoid or deflect any criticism pointed at Mayweather for his alleged dodging of Pacquiao.
    Though laymen would be unable to unmask the shrewd tactics, which will save Mayweather from any charges, experts or game loyalists will be able to question the logic of Williams vs. Pacquiao fight or Goossen reluctance to attempt for a Williams-Mayweather, when it is widely believed a fight against Mayweather is the ultimate. Moreover, experts say Goossen is possibly acting on orders from Haymon and Team Mayweather, to cover up the mess of shirking or ducking the biggest fight in boxing history.

    this is really embarassing for floyd. all the stories behind the failed negotiations last december over drug testing comes to light. Floyd doesn't want to fight and would offer any excuse he can just to get out of it.

    shame on you floyd

    Another piece of tabloid bull****.

    Mayweather silence is one of three things.

    1. Pac has refused to take RANDOM blood testing, which means there is no fight to talk about. Mayweather had already said no random testing no fight. Simple as that. So his silence should mean the contracts are not agreed to by both parties.

    2. He is happy with the terms of the contract, but is making arum wait, because mayweather felt arum and pac wasted his time last time, by running off to fight clottey when negotiations could have still been salvaged.

    3. Mayweather scared of pac.

    what the **** are you on, this fight should have been made a long time ago. If we want a November fight, the contract should have been made by now to prepare for a promotion fit for the biggest fight in boxing in recent memory.

    What it seems like is floyd is not keen on fighting this november or maybe isn't keen on making the fight at all. Quit sucking floyd's dick and tell him to come out wherever he's hiding from lol

    This isn't even news. It is the ramblings of an uninformed Blogger.
    This guy has been listening to a lot of "Experts", which I imagine go by the names of Anonymous, Thin Air and Horse ****.

    Utter rubbish.

    I think the blood testing issue has been resolved, last prob was the split but they seem to have sorted that out. I think it's a case of floyd really not wanting the fight either this year or at all, possibly not happy with purse but most likely making ppl wait as he likes to be the centre of attention. "look at me, everyone waiting n anticipating my decision".

    Why would floyd wait this long just to say no.Make no sense whatsoever.

    We haven't seen the contracts, so we dnt know what has been agreed or what is acceptable.
