First meeting for Pacquiao vs Mayweather clash

Nov. 26, 2009 | by Micko Santos

The first meeting for the "soon to be" blockbuster fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao was held in Las Vegas. Richard Schaefer and Bob Arum had a formal negotiation about a Mayweather-Pacquiao mega fight in 2010.

From Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Schaefer was on his way [Monday] to meet Bob Arum for the negotiation of the fight.

Quotes from Arum and Schaefer prior to the meeting,
Richard Schaefer
"The fact that I am flying to Las Vegas to meet with Bob shows you how serious our side is about making the fight. "As part of the negotiations both Bob and I had to agree to keep all discussions confidential," Schaefer said. "No further comments will be made until such time that we either have a deal or the negotiations fall apart."

Bob Arum
"I can confirm I am meeting with Richard, but I'm not going to talk about the specifics," "It's a meeting where we will try to make the fight. Whether it can be made or not in this meeting, I don't know. We'll see what we will see."

After the meeting Arum said that the meeting was favorable and likely to have a good outcome. "There's really not much I can say," Arum said. "We had one meeting, it was a good meeting, and we'll talk again over the next few days."

I don't think that pacman vs mayweather will come true. Why? cause pacman will be busy with his campaign next year for his congressional ambition in May. Then if he won and be come congressman, no way to fight pacman again, cause he is busy on his new endevour. So tha truth is no Pacquiao-Mayweather will be happen. Thats why Pacman not answering nor confirming those questions.

Mayweather is very eager to take this fight because Pacman is a small guy and he used to be good on small fighters. When fight night come, Mayweather will never forget this event in his entire life. And like Oscar Dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton, till today, they cannot accept their defeat from the hands of a small man, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. Like the rest of boxing fans around the world, I hope too that this mega bout will be on soon. Let's keep our finger crossed!

Pacquiao will fight even if he's running for a congressional position. If he's not allowed to it will be past may. Even if he won he can fight. Pacman is not answering because he submits to those who are above him. He doesn't decide alone for the fight because he respects others decisions.
