The waiting still continues for what would be one of the most anticipated fights in boxing history. Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Manny Pacquiao reluctantly will look for another opponent for his next bout after promoter Bob Arum’s deadline for a deal with Floyd Mayweather Jr. passed Saturday without a word from Mayweather.

In the latest improbable twist in the torturous negotiations for the most tantalizing prospective fight in boxing, Arum said Mayweather’s camp simply hasn’t responded to a contract proposal with no obvious points of contention.

Pacquiao already has agreed to extensive drug testing and an equitable split of the earnings from what’s likely to be the richest fight in boxing history.

”Floyd, for whatever reason — and I’m sure he has some valid reason — didn’t want to commit,” Arum said.

Maybe they are just trying to hype it up for more money, but each fighter is looking at making 40 million how much more do you need?
