Will Floyd Mayweather fight Manny Pacquiao in 2012

According to reliable latest news on boxing that this fight has been apparently on track on the negotiating table. The wavering years of back and fourth claims between Pacquiao and Mayweather, the two is said to be headed on May 5, 2012 for at close range collision. In fact, Leonard Ellerbe who is Mayweather’s advisor said recently that his client confirmed a desire to fight against the pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao on his next fight!

However, on the contrary, the hbo boxing published that the said fight might never happen stated by Bob Arum (the founder and the CEO of Top Rank, which is a professional boxing promotion company to be found in Las Vegas.). because no matter how they pushed the negotiation if Mayweather won’t decide to fight in the first place, then there will be no fight for this contenders to happen.

Is this all because of Mayweather? Nevertheless, everybody can see Pacquiao’s interest in fighting against the opponent, but not Mayweather. What are the closest reasons why this fight takes too long to decide? The following are expected to be the major grounds (source: yahoo news):

Ego

According to Arum, Mayweather is a picky fighter. He won’t fight if he knows that it could put him in danger; he doesn’t want to lose either of his no loss line. Mayweather specifically has a huge ego that he is can be compared to as a control highly unusual person that he wants to do things on his own.

Said by Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s Canadian advisor that there was a certain country that offered $100 million so that Mayweather-Pacquiao will be held there. Maywethear was offered half the price offered ($50 million), but he just turned the offer down and his counter was offered for $100 million was rejected. This fighter has the price of his own and does things by his own conditions.

Manny Pacquiao sooner retirement plan

They said that Manny Pacquiao will going to run for governor in 2013, so this might be the reason why boxing Pacman will going to lose his boxing career to politics. Thus, if Pacquiao fight his customary 2x a year, so he must have utmost 4 fights left. Mayweather on the other hand has a custom of fighting only once a year; so eventually, the May 5, 2012 match is allegedly continue to be sealed.

The Court cases of Mayweather

Mayweather has court cases because of his involvement to troubles out from the ring. Herman Cain has stand up for his sexual harassment charges; at the same time, many Pacquiao sued him for libel/ defamation for allegedly fallaciously accusing him of using his boxing performance enhancing drugs.

Furthermore, because of Mayweather’s numerous court cases such as grand larceny, felony coercion, robbery, harassment, and misdemeanor domestic battery after he allegedly abused his ex-girlfriend by beating her up and also by stealing her cell phone. Mayweather could face up these cases to 34 years if he will convict on all charges in state prison.

Consequently on these reasons alone, the chances of the match- Pacquiao-Mayweather fight- will radically lower from being made.
