by Christian Ramos: After a sudden disappearance from the public, Pretty Boy Floyd broke his silence. The boxing world has been waiting for a response from its biggest attraction after Bob Arum announced a deadline for Floyd to respond to the negotiations regarding himself and Manny Pacquiao. For the first time since anybody can recall, Mayweather has been completely without words during an attempt at negotiations.

Once the deadline arrived and Mayweather was a no-show, Bob Arum announced he would move on to negotiate between both Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito to fight Manny Pacquiao. He also reassured Mayweather still has the first dibs at Pacman, as long as Manny was not under contract to fight anyone else. Floyd would just simply have to respond for Top Rank to push the fight.

There were many speculations as to why Floyd never responded to the negotiations. Many fans believed Money was scared or ducking. Others however, including Bob Arum himself, took a more rational approach and brought up the issue regarding is uncle/trainer Roger Mayweather and his up-coming trial date. Roger Mayweather soon has a trial date and faces the possibility of going to jail for quite some time. There was also a huge speculation to what was actually on the contract that both sides supposedly agreed on, but no one really saw it.

Well, after his brief absence, Pretty Boy himself responded to the boxing world. His response was short and simple. It was a comment that only Floyd Mayweather Jr. can make when regarding possibly the hugest fight in the sport’s history. He’s simply not interested.

“I’m not interested in rushing to do anything. I’m not really thinking about boxing right now. I’m must relaxing. I fought about 60 days ago, so I’m just enjoying myself, enjoying life, enjoying my family and enjoying my vacation. Like I said, I’m just supporting my family and relaxing. That what I’m doing right now.”

This would have you think for a minute. Is he really that concerned about his uncle’s case? After all, everyone mentions that he’s so important to training, but more importantly, Roger’s his blood. Did Arum make his biggest mistake in trying to pressure Floyd into the fight? Or most importantly, how appealing was the offer from the promoters?

One thing is sure though. The fight is not happening this year. Can some just find Don Corleone! Hey Don, make Floyd an offer he can’t refuse!
