The Pacquiao Vs Mayweather Fight was all but dead even though Manny Pacquiao has pursued the bout even on Mayweather's terms. Money May kept giving reasons why he would not accept the fight, but it seems like it all changes!

There were many claims of inside information about the fight, but this time the reported source is no other than Floyd Mayweather, Sr. From Boxing Insider.com:

"The Red Sea will part and allow the super-fight the whole world craves to enter the pay-per-view Promised Land. So says Floyd Mayweather, Sr.

Floyd Junior's father, trainer, and close advisor told a reliable Boxing Insider source that Team Mayweather is indeed shooting for a super-fight with Manny Pacquiao next May. That, according to father Floyd, is the 'big surprise' his son alluded to when he first mentioned two weeks ago that he would give Marcos Maidana a rematch for Sept. 13."

Of course, that is a grand claim, but so Boxing Insider reinforces it:

"The source, who's both a manager and trainer and quite knowledgeable, said Floyd Senior made the remark about Pacquiao as they discussed other matters. He wasn't absolutely sure that Daddy Floyd wanted his comments repeated so he asked me not to identify him. He's known the father for many years. Floyd Senior, he said, wants the fight to cement his son's legacy and bring in what would certainly be the biggest haul in boxing history. The source wasn't absolutely certain when they spoke two weeks ago that the entire team was in agreement on a Pacquiao fight.

'I thought at the time that maybe the dad was just saying that because he was trying to motivate the fight.' Just the fact that the father is pushing for the fight is significant, but the source said that since then he's seen other indications that the rest of the team is on board."

While 'the source' is shrouded in mystery, logic seems to be on the side of the fight actually taking place. Manny Pacquiao recently signed on a November fight with newly crowned welterweight, Chris Algieri which drew the ire of fight fans calling it 'lame.' At this point, any fight the two fighters take would make fans angry unless it's against each other.

Pay per view sales are dipping and the entire sport of boxing is on a downslide. After their respective fights this year, the only fight worth making (and watching) is Pacquiao Vs. Mayweather!
