Sometimes you just have to talk face to face to iron out your differences. Mayweather & Pacquiao have used every other outlet known to man to talk to each other, besides sitting down in a room man to man to hash things out.
According to Pacquiao’s friend they finally did that last night.
Following their chance meeting during an NBA game at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla., Floyd Mayweather Jr. personally visited Manny Pacquiao at his hotel to have a closed-door dialogue with boxing’s only eight-division world champion.
Pacquiao’s close friend Bernard Cloma confirmed the private dialogue between the two decorated pugilists in an interview with ABS-CBN’s radio station DZMM, stating that both men had an extensive chat at the living room of the unnamed hotel.
“Yes, Mayweather went to the hotel and visited Manny. They had a long talk,” he said in Filipino.
Although Cloma admitted that he was not inside the room, he stressed that Pacquiao’s wife Jinkee and adviser Michael Koncz were present to oversee the conversation.
In the end, we may have to thank a Blizzard that wasn’t as bad as people thought it would be for the fight happening. Because Manny decided to stay in Miami instead of heading back to the East Coast, this long awaited fight might happen.
Keep your fingers crossed, but I wouldn’t pack your bags to Vegas yet.
