Floyd Mayweather Jr. won't 'rush' for date with Manny

MIAMI -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. allowed a deadline for striking a deal on a super fight with Manny Pacquiao to pass without saying anything.

A day later, Mayweather indicated that his stance wouldn't change anytime soon.

"I'm not interested in rushing to do anything," Mayweather told the Associated Press.

Appearing in Miami on Sunday as a coach at a charity basketball game hosted by Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning, Mayweather happily fielded questions about the NBA. But when talk turned to boxing -- and Pacquiao in particular -- Mayweather wouldn't respond.

His camp did not respond to a deadline early Saturday put in place by Pacquiao promoter Top Rank for exclusive negotiations, which has put what could be the richest fight in boxing history in doubt.

"I'm not really thinking about boxing right now," Mayweather said. "I'm just relaxing. I fought about 60 days ago, so I'm just enjoying myself, enjoying life, enjoying my family and enjoying my vacation."

Mayweather has appeared at the event Mourning founded known as the Summer Groove in past years, plus has grabbed courtside seats at Heat games during previous trips to Miami. But there was a certain irony to his appearance Sunday: Mayweather was a coach on the bench that the Heat occupy, sitting in the seat that Miami coach Erik Spoelstra uses during games.

Spoelstra is of Filipino descent, and is a huge Pacquiao fan.

“I’m supporting all basketball players because I’m a fan of basketball,” Mayweather said.

Pacquiao already has agreed to an equitable split of the earnings from the megafight, along with extensive drug testing. The two sides nearly came to terms earlier this year, but the fight didn’t happen then because Pacquiao was reticent about blood testing close to a fight.

Pacquiao ended up routing Joshua Clottey before about 50,000 fans at Cowboys Stadium in March, while Mayweather easily defeated Shane Mosley in May.

Although he hasn’t spoken directly to Mayweather, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he believes the former pound-for-pound champion might be reluctant to fight this year because of the legal woes of Roger Mayweather, his uncle and longtime trainer.

Roger Mayweather will go on trial in Las Vegas next month on assault charges stemming from an altercation with a female boxer last year.

If the fight with Mayweather doesn’t happen, Pacquiao could fight recently crowned junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto, whom he’s already defeated, or former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito. Arum said that Pacquiao plans to fight Nov. 13 regardless of the opponent.

As for Mayweather, well, only he seems to know.

“Like I said, I’m just supporting my family and relaxing,” Mayweather said. “That’s what I’m doing right now.”

A person should never make an important decision alone, important decisions should be well thought out. People, who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience.
Wow power leveling,
When I had difficulty deciding which classes to take in collage, Wow power leveling I talked to my teachers and advisors; they had the knowledge and expertise to help me determine which classes were the best ones to take for my future career. Without their advice, I might have chosen unsuitable courses.
aion kinah,
In collage,aion kinah I had convinced myself that I was not good enough to act in the school play. Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama had always been my passion.
Designer Glasses,
The day of the audition,Designer Glasses a friend of mine asked me why I was not auditioning. When I told her I did not feel I was good enough, she was shocked. She was able to provide me with another perspective on myself and my talents. I rethought my decision and tried out….and got a lead in the play.
cheap aion kinah,
Last year when I was trying to decide whether or not I should study overseas,cheap aion kinah I talked to my friend. This was the best thing I could have done. This was a big decision for me because I had never been overseas on my own and I was not sure if I could do it.
maple story mesos,
She had studied overseas the precious year.maple story mesos She told me about the challenges and opportunities I might encounter and helped me make the right decision. I went and it was amazing.

This is very simple. You are just afraid of facing Manny Pacquiao. You balls are tied behind you ass. And your mouth is much faster that your hands. You are one fuckin racist. You think your famous? Your famous because you are a loud mouth! You win those matches because you keep running. You and your father are Homo!

Since when did you complain about your opponent? WELL IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO FACE THE YELLOW CHIMP FROM THE PHILIPPINES! Try going to the Philippines and you'll see how big those Yellow Chimps' dick have! COWARD GAY!
