I hope you can talk Floyd into taking this highly lucrative opportunity. We're cheering for you.

Floyd seems to do OK with his purses. You may want to worry about the Illiterate Congressman.

Cory Olsen | The Grand Rapids PressLeonard Ellerbe, left, on Monday said initial pay-per-view numbers show Floyd Mayweather will gross about $40 million for his May 1 fight against Shane Mosley, which would be the second-highest purse in boxing history.Floyd Mayweather’s adviser vehemently denied an Associated Press report Monday that talks for a Manny Pacquiao fight could resume as soon as Tuesday.

The report was based on an interview Monday with Freddie Roach, who trains Pacquiao but is not involved with the Filipino star in a negotiating capacity.

Share Roach’s remark turned into an international story, which Leonard Ellerbe dismissed as "ridiculous."

“Ain’t nobody thinking about Manny Pacquiao, Bob Arum or Freddie Roach,?Ellerbe said. “Floyd isn’t thinking about none of them, and there ain’t no negotiations starting, period. Floyd is just coming off a great win. He’s not thinking about any of them.?br />




Ellerbe: Team Mayweather Is Not In Negotiations For Pacquiao Bout
By Paul Magno - June 14, 2010 | Email the author Quick, somebody inform Bob Arum and Team Pacquiao that they’ve dialed the wrong number and are not in negotiations with Team Mayweather after all.

They’ve obviously reached an impostor who has somehow conned them into thinking that they are dealing with Floyd’s representatives. I mean, what else could be the answer? Bob Arum has been releasing succulent insider tidbits about the ongoing negotiations between both camps for the last several weeks. Despite the “gag order?imposed on both parties, we’ve heard about hammered-out blood testing issues and offers from Abu Dhabi worth a camel for Arum and “gazillions?for the right to host the fight.

All of this must come as a surprise to Mayweather adviser and spokesman, Leonard Ellerbe, who has publicly stated that nobody has contacted him or anyone from Team Mayweather to even begin negotiations for a Pacquiao bout.

Speaking to David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press, Ellerbe went on record as saying that there have been no talks taking place and that Mayweather is enjoying his time off after beating Shane Mosley via one-sided unanimous decision last month.

Facts are a beautiful thing....huh?
