The controversial fight between the two great boxing fighters was announced by Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar de la Hoya that there are negotiations for the super showdown between top pound-for-pound fighters Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
In an interview with Spanish broadcasting network Univision, de la Hoya said they are “very close in finalizing the contracts that were once very complicated.”


‚ÄúI think right now we are very, very close in finalizing the contracts. I can’t talk right now in detail about the negotiations but I will say that we are very close,‚Äù de la Hoya was quoted by TheBoxingTruth.com. The negotiations are being done by Pacquiao‚Äôs promoter, Top Rank, Inc. big boss Bob Arum, and Mayweather‚Äôs representative, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.


‚ÄúUp until now, it’s been a very difficult negotiation process for various reasons but right now we’re very close,‚Äù added de la Hoya.
Pacman and Mayweather were supposed to face off last March 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. But fight talks collapsed because the boxers disagreed on the drug testing protocol.
