The whole Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather negotiation thing, it’s really just a hoax.
The two sides are not even talking about a fight in which each man can earn about $40 million.
This is just a figment of certain people’s overactive imaginations.
I mean, look at the people who say they aren’t going on at all…
People like Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum, Mayweather promoter Richard Schaefer and Arum’s stepson and president of Top Rank, Todd duBoef.
Outside of Manny and Floyd , and along with the always publicly silent Mayweather adviser Al Haymon, these are the decision makers.
Throw in Ross Greenburg, HBO Sports president as well. His company has tremendous weight and influence on the situation.
Aren’t they all denying the negotiations are continuing?
No, they’re not. Either this trio is in cahoots in a scam to fool the boxing public or their tongues have been cut out.

So listen to Floyd Mayweather Sr. if you want to.
I enjoy his sputtering from time to time myself.
But “Pretty Daddy” has about as much inside information on a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout as I do about President Obama sacking that loose lipped General McCrystal for insurbordination.
It’s simple, folks.
The people who know are talking to each other. Those are the people who will make or not make the Super Bout.

They throw breadcrumbs to reporters, no more, no less.
Pacman doesn’t want to make $40 million this year. Ditto for “Money May.”
Oh, I forgot, they both hate filthy lucre especially when it takes a fleet of armored cars to haul it away from the arena.
I think I’ll be in Las Vegas on Nov. 13 and it won’t be to see Cirque Du Soleil, Blue Man Group or Penn & Teller…
If you get my drift.
