MANILA \u2013 Undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. says that Filipino champion Manny Pacquaio cannot decide on the terms for their fight because he is under Top Rank Promotions.<\/p>\n

Last week, Top Rank head honcho Bob Arum already confirmed that they have agreed to all of Mayweather\u2019s terms, including the long-debated split on pot money.<\/p>\n

In his recent interviews, Pacquiao also confirmed Arum\u2019s statements saying that all they need is Mayweather\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

However, Mayweather took no regard of Pacquiao\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully, it’s Mayweather-Pacquiao (on May 2nd),” said Mayweather during an interview. “Of course, we are trying to make the fight happen between me and Pacquiao. Are we negotiating? Absolute, we are negotiating.”<\/p>\n

He added, “But Pacquiao said that he agreed to everything. What did you agree to? You have no say so. You have a boss. You don’t have no say so. You have a boss, that’s called Top Rank Promotions. It’s not called Pacquiao Promotions. With my company, it’s called Mayweather Promotions.”<\/p>\n

While Mayweather said that they are trying to make the first happen, he also mentioned that the talks have been \u201cextremely difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

“It’s not Pacquiao, it’s his promoter. A lot of times, when Pacquiao says, ‘I agreed’ \u2013 you don’t have nothing to do with this; you’re not a boss,” said Mayweather. “On a chess board, you’re a pawn.”<\/p>\n

Mayweather also couldn\u2019t stop making another comment at Pacquaio\u2019s low pay-per-view revenue. He took a jab at the Pacquaio-Chris Algieri fight saying that the buys barely reached 300,000.<\/p>\n

“No matter what you say, Floyd Mayweather still winning. When they take shots at Floyd Mayweather, he still winning and making hundreds of millions,” said Mayweather.<\/p>\n

Negotiations to make the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight have been going on and have fallen apart several times because of certain demands from the American boxer\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
