Armageddon can't be far off when Sonatine enters the boxing thread.
Was always suspicious.
"Whether Manny signed or not Floyd has not per 2 sources directly involved. 'Floyd's the one we need to worry about not Manny,' source said."

Brb...gonna quote FightHype and claim it's a "source" for Mayweather.
"#MayweatherPacquiao deal is nearing finish line one way or other but 2 sources involved said it is NOT done at this point."
- Dan Rafael on Twitter
For a scared little pussy, he sure is actively negotiating the fight. You're gonna need a new set of excuses if they announce this thing. But if it doesn't happen this time, it's never going to.
It's gonna happen. I still can't believe it, though.
Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao 2015: Boxers Agree To Match Worth $250M, Could Announce Fight At All-Star Game, Report Says
http://www.ibtimes.com/floyd-mayweat...nounce-1816752
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao agreed Saturday to stage a long-awaited boxing match worth an estimated $250 million, according to a Sunday Telegraph report. If confirmed, the fight is expected to be the richest in boxing history.
Pacquiao agreed to the deal’s terms and has already signed a contract, a source close to the 36 year old told the newspaper. Mayweather, who is currently in New York, has agreed to the deal, but has yet to sign the agreement the source said, adding that Mayweather could sign the deal on Sunday and announce the fight at the NBA All-Star Game at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
“Manny has 100 percent signed his side of the deal,” the Pacquiao source told the paper. “It is now over to Mayweather to close the deal and announce the fight.”
A potential Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would be held May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, according to the Sporting News. The two camps were engaged in negotiations for years, with each side accusing the other of holding up the match. Concerns over pre-fight drug-testing and how the record-setting pot would be split derailed negotiations on numerous occasions since 2009.
But talks intensified in 2015, particularly after Mayweather and Pacquiao met for the first time at halftime of a Jan. 27 game between the NBA’s Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. Hours later, the two men met for more than an hour to discuss the potential bout’s terms face-to-face.
"It was a business meeting, but it wasn't a tense business meeting. I think that's because they both have mutual respect for each other. We'll determine what will happen over the next couple of days,” Pacquiao representative Michael Koncz said at the time, according to ESPN.
Mayweather will reportedly receive a 60-40 split of the fight purse, according to ESPN. The two sides have also agreed on pre-and-post-fight drug tests, as well as the type of gloves that will be used in the match.
Mayweather has two fights remaining on a six-fight pay-per-view contract with Showtime, while Pacquiao is under contract with HBO/Time Warner. Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum told the Associated Press earlier this month the two sides had already reached an agreement to simulcast the bout, a claim that Showtime executive vice president Stephen Espinoza denied Feb. 6.

There's still no official contract, according to Espinoza.
"Yes, I believe Manny has signed the shortform contract."
As Tweeted by Dan Rafael.
"There is no contract, but there is an agreement" - Manny Pacquiao, yesterday.
In case we're assuming everything Rafael writes is gospel.
Not gospel, just the closest thing we can get to gospel when it comes to anything like this. That's why there are so many thousands of people, like me, who will only believe the fight is on when he says it is. Doesn't mean he's never wrong, but he's certainly never reported that a fight was done before it was done.
If this fight is not announced this week...it NEVER will!!!
And if the fight doesn't happen...it's Mayweather's fault.
Manny Pacquiao has agreed to everything that Mayweather wanted.
Olympic-style drug tests
Editorial control over his Showtime documentary
What size gloves to be used
More Money
Mayweather has been busy, he has been partying in the Caribbean and Miami.“Until Mr Mayweather formally agrees to fight Manny, all the stories, negotiations and good intentions mean nothing.”
He went to New York and spent more than $800K worth of jewelry for himself and his entourage.
Floyd Mayweather will go down in history as a failed fighter, who was financially successful, but refused to fight a real competitor to cement his legacy as the best in the world.
Of course, we all know what would happen if these two meet in the ring.
Floyd with more bullshit. Pretty much everyone in the know is now reporting fight is just waiting on him. Oh yeah and that "announcement" at the AS game? LOL, cue that interview up and listen to what this clown says.
I agree. That's not what this is directed at. Just pointing out that he did report Pacquiao has "put ink to paper" when he actually hasn't.Not gospel, just the closest thing we can get to gospel when it comes to anything like this. That's why there are so many thousands of people, like me, who will only believe the fight is on when he says it is. Doesn't mean he's never wrong, but he's certainly never reported that a fight was done before it was done.
All of those demands are pretty standard, honestly. And it's also stuff that Pacquiao has agreed to. That's how negotiations work. The "a" side makes the rules. Mayweather had to concede to Oscar. It's just how it isIf this fight is not announced this week...it NEVER will!!!
And if the fight doesn't happen...it's Mayweather's fault.

If mayweather is holding the fight up, it's for another reason. And he very well may be. We'll find out soon.
At the NBA all-star game they interviewed Money Mayweather briefly and asked him to confirm the rumors.
He said it was not true and it's all speculation and rumors. He said neither side has signed anything at all.
I think they are running out of time for May. This would be the biggest boxing event ever.
Rafael and Pugmire both reporting that today could be the day. Looks like these mother fuckers are gonna fight.
"Basically every1 involved in #MayweatherPacquiao (both sides) simply waiting for Floyd to announce. All are calm & say negotiation complete."
-Fat Dan
I'm frantically refreshing this fucking Shots app.
Announcement should be today. They're already cutting it so close because of Floyd's dumbass insistence that the fight be held May 3 (they should just fight in June) that I don't think he can put it off. But you never know with Floyd. He does enjoy attention.
The date was one of the first things settled. He's had May 2 reserved for a while now. Arum was the one crying about the date being "disrespectful to Mexicans." There's some blame to place on Floyd, but it's certainly not the date.
