Adviser for Floyd Mayweather Jr. says there were no negotiations with Pacquiao

Leonard Ellerbe, one of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s closest advisers, denied Monday that negotiations for a super fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao had ever taken place.

That is contrary to what Top Rank's Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, has been saying for the past three weeks and he's sticking by his story.

Arum set a teleconference with boxing reporters at the deadline's expiration. On the teleconference, Arum said he had worked out the agreement with Al Haymon, Mayweather's top adviser, using Ross Greenburg, the president of HBO Sports, as a go-between without ever speaking directly to Haymon.

Now, Ellerbe denies any of that ever happened.

"Here are the facts," Ellerbe said in Monday's statement. "Al Haymon, [Golden Boy Promotions CEO] Richard Schaefer and myself speak to each other on a regular basis, and the truth is no negotiations have ever taken place, nor was there ever a deal agreed upon by Team Mayweather or Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 13. Either Ross Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying."

Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao.

This is the sad state of boxing. This fight should happen but probably won't, it would be the one fight that would put boxing back into the forefront. Even if for just a night.

Instead Pacquiao is going to end up fighting some no name again and Mayweather will continue to run around the ring with Mosley once a year.

To say that either of them is afraid of the other is absurd.

You could say the same thing about Pac when he didn't agree to the blood testing.

Pacquiao dose not want to lose his energy before the fight. I cant blame him ether when Mayweather is the bigger, stronger fighter. Pacquiao even agreed to give blood right after the fight so that is just Bullsh*t. Mayweather knows he cant beat the Pac man and is just coming up with excuse to avoid the fight.

I cant even believe anyone would be taking his side ether. I mean Pacquiao is the champion for crying out loud and should be calling the shots not some washed up boxer.

Wait...what?

Money May is washed up? Last time I checked this "washed up" boxer destroyed Marquez, a guy that Pacquiao had a Draw against (which he should have lost) and he won the re-match via SD (which again he should have lost).

:shocked: Really?

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
