Mayweather posted a message
on his Shots account that said in part “While they continue to lie about making
the fight… I’m just going to continue to travel and explore the world on my
private jet. #FightNotMadeYet #Jamaica.”
Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum
told the New York Post on Friday that he was optimistic a Pacquiao-Mayweather
deal for a May 2 fight in Las Vegas would be completed in the next couple of
days, with only a few final details to be settled between rival telecasters HBO
and Showtime, the rights holders for Pacquiao and Mayweather respectively.
Mayweather, who turns 38 on
February 24, left England’s Amir Khan hanging for months until announcing on
his birthday last year that he would fight Argentina’s Marcos Maidana instead.
Mayweather wound up beating
the South American twice in 2014, but has yet to test himself against Pacquiao
or Khan.
Filipino southpaw Pacquiao
is 57-5 with two drawn and 38 knockouts while Mayweather is 47-0 with 26
knockouts. Fans have sought a showdown between the two for five years, thus far
in vain.
