Perhaps they'll surprise us and announce this week that our long, national nightmare is finally over, and that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will fight each other May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
Don't bet anything too valuable on it, however, because you'll likely be disappointed.
At a time when the talks to finalize the bout that the sports world has demanded for more than five years should be in their most sensitive stage, Mayweather was instead negotiating the terms of a couple of public appearances in Australia.Though he was ultimately denied a visa to enter the country by Australian immigration authorities because of his history of domestic violence, Mayweather was demanding an unlimited supply of gummy bears, M&M’s and Cristal Champagne, a barber available on demand, as well as a butler, chef, makeup artist and a woman's hairdresser in return for appearing at gala dinners in Sydney and Melbourne.
So it sure doesn't seem Mayweather feels any particular sense of urgency to get the fight done, despite his late-night trip to Pacquiao's Miami hotel suite last month
