Now that Floyd Mayweather Jr. who has dispatched of Shane Mosley and risen to the top of the May Yahoo! Sports and World rankings,attention once again has focused on getting Mayweather and Congressman-elect Manny Pacquiao into the ring with each other.And like the negotiations for an aborted March 13 bout,which began in November,both sides are saying all the right things.
Floyd Mayweather (right) received 20 of 33 first-place votes in May's rankings.
Pacquiao went on to rout Joshua Clottey on March 13 to win the World Boxing Organization welterweight belt in front of a crowd of 51,000 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Mayweather blew out Mosley on May 1 in a match that drew an $11 million paid gate and which sold 1.4 million pay-per-view units.
On the other hand Pacquiao now Ranking two.
Despite the positive vibes coming from the early days of the talks in November, though, participants were soon at each other’s throats, lawsuits were filed and the bout wasn’t consummated.
