After American promoter Bob Arum’s”final counter offer” was quickly turned down by Mayweather’s chief adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, and negotiator, Richard Schaefer, anticipation of recovering the megafight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are slim.

Arum, which is the main man of Top Rank, had given the Mayweather camp until yesterday to decide on his final proposal regarding the blood tests issue, that both parties let the Nevada State Athletic Commission to make the final decision. Pacquiao’s camp has agreed to three blood tests but was again unacceptable to Mayweather.

Bob Arum, who is a Top Rank boss, is currently in the Philippines. He will be talking to seven-time world boxing champ Manny Pacquiao into sealing the deal for the much-awaited fight with former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. 

 ”I’m obviously over here to talk to Manny,” Arum told LAtimes.com. “At this point, I’ve got to find out what my fighter wants to do.” similar to what happened during the negotiations for the Pacquiao fight against British champ Ricky Hatton last May, Arum wanted to avoid “complications”.

Arum flew to the Philippines to personally meet with Pacquiao and his advisors.
