Despite the heightened tension in the ongoing negotiation for the megafight between Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the two boxers still has time to amuse themselves. On a video posted on his Facebook account, Mayweather can be seen fooling around with his friends while throwing snowballs at each other.
On the other hand, a YouTube video of Pacquiao emerges while he is doing a clown impression of Everton midfielder Steven Naismith.
Rumors are steadily circulating within the boxing world that the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is still far from fruition.
Even Mayweather himself has posted some cryptic message on his Instagram account saying, "Laying back, relaxing, enjoying good weather, palm trees, and piña coladas. While they continue to lie about making the fight, I'm just going to continue to travel and explore the world on my private jet." Mayweather also added the hashtag #FightNotMadeYet most probably pertaining to the failed negotiation between the two camps, according to The Mirror.
HBO and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum cited that the negotiation between them and Mayweather's camp is a "slow dance." He also added that the Money Team is giving out too many demands. Arum also said that every time they send a contract draft to Mayweather's camp, they receive a different draft that contains something else.
Pacquiao's camp has already agreed to every demand issued by Mayweather's camp including the money split of 60-40 in favor of the latter. Pacquiao has also agreed to the drug testing protocol, the date and venue of the fight. Even the order of entrance and the name of the fight have all been agreed upon by the Filipino boxing legend, according to ESPN.
If the negotiations will ultimately fail, Mayweather will face either Miguel Cotto or Amir Khan as an alternate fight. Pacquiao on the other hand will pursue Amir Khan in case the Mayweather bout will not happen.
