The two biggest stars in boxing have been
unable to finalise a clash in recent years,
amid rows over television network deals and
blood tests.
Despite talk this month of a bout between the
welterweight superstars in the first week of
May edging closer, nothing has yet been
confirmed.
But speaking to reporter Roger Clarke at
London’s famous Fitzroy Lodge boxing club on
Friday, seven-weight world champion
Pacquiao revealed he is expecting an imminent
decision from Mayweather about the proposed
contest.
“We’re waiting for an answer from them, and
the signed contract from them, so probably
by next week we’ll know if we can push the
fight through or not,” Pacquiao said.
When asked if he thinks the fight will happen
the Filipino said: “I think so, I think the fans
deserve this fight.”
