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?

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
