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?

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
