The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is getting bleaker by the minute. It takes two to tango, and one of them is bent on not letting the bout happen. Bob Arum the businessman wants to move on and market the fight that will actually take place. Is this the end?

Manny Pacquiao now wants to put an end to the Mayweather questions. He is now 'tired.' Speaking to ABS CBN.com (translated from Tagalog): "The problem is not with me. I will fight whomever my promoter agrees with."

And if he never gets to fight Mayweather: "I do not want to brag but I am satisfied with what I have achieved in boxing. Whether the fight happens or not, there is no problem with me."

Bob Arum also spoke with The Sweet Science. The words were very bitter, though: "Look, I'm tired of beating a dead horse. Because it's not productive. But we have to realize, and I know Mayweather, he doesn't want to fight Pacquiao, because of Pacquiao's style. Mayweather's style is of great defense against a right-handed fighter. A fast lefty who can punch a little bit will give him trouble. Pacquiao really creates the biggest danger to Mayweathers' undefeated record, more than any other fighter. He's not going to fight him. I tell Manny, Mayweather will make one demand after another, and you can accede to the demand, but he's not going to get you the fight."

"This is like a tactic, I'm not equating the politics, it's like Hitler. Before the Second World War, 'give me Czechosolovakia, there'll be peace,' and this and that..and (Neville) Chamberlain (then UK Prime Minister) kept appeasing, kept appeasing...was there ever going to be peace? No. No. It's not going to get anybody closer to that fight."

When it was pointed out that the analogy was pretty strong: "That's the truth. That's the truth. You do something like that, that's the tactic. You bully, you bully, you bully...finally the guy says, 'Enough,' and he says, 'See, you don't want to fight me.'"
