MANILA, Philippines – Sinisisi ni undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. ang Top Rank promotions ni Bob Arum sa hindi pa maikasang laban kay Manny Pacquiao.
Kinumpirma ni Mayweather sa radio program na The Whoolywood Shuffle na gumugulong ang negosasyon sa pagitan ng dalawang kampo, ngunit naantala lamang dahil umano sa Top Rank.
"We're trying, but it's been extremely difficult dealing with Top Rank. I don't want to sit right here and point the finger at Pacquiao and say it's him, because it's not Pacquiao. It's his promoter,” pahayag ng kasalukuyang pound-for-pound king.

Pumayag na si Pacquiao sa magiging hatian ng kita at mga kondisyon upang matuloy ang laban, ngunit nagbigay ng taning na hanggang katapusan ng buwan para sa desisyon ni Mayweather.
"Everything that everybody is just insinuating, what everybody been saying on TV is false. It's not true at all...Once again, I've been saying this for the longest, Pacquiao has no say so because Pacquiao fights under Top Rank Promotions. I have Mayweather Promotions. Mayweather Promotions is my company, so Pacquiao, he's not in a position to call any shots as of right now and he's not the A-side, so everything that everybody has been hearing has been rumors,” paliwanag ni Mayweather.
Iginiit din ng American boxer na gigil na rin siyang makalaban si Pacquiao.
“Do I want to fight Pacquiao? Absolutely! Are we negotiating? Absolutely! But has the fight been made? Not at all. Hopefully it's Mayweather-Pacquiao [on May 2].”
