Pacquiao says not to waste time for Mayweather

MANILA, Philippines –Manny Pacquiao’s unfinished business with Floyd Mayweather may no longer happen, as Mayweather’s repeated disinterest in a fight between him and Manny Pacquiao continues.
According to his trainer Freddie Roach, the Filipino Champ said that he won't "waste his time" waiting for Mayweather to call. Pacquiao and Roach have gone tired of suing Mayweather to set up the match.
The two boxing superstars are currently on a two-week tour around the world to promote their WBO welterweight title fight, which takes place in Macau on November 23.
"Who's that?" Pacquiao told reporters at The Venetian Macao in Macau, China, on Monday, when mentioned Mayweather’s name.
"We can't waste our time waiting for him. "We've done everything we could to make that fight happen. It's like, we're available if he's interested in it, but again we can't sit around waiting for him," Roach told news agency AFP.
It can be remembered that Pacquiao and Mayweather, came close to agreeing a bout in 2010, which, it is believed, could have generated a record $300 million. However, the proposed fight failed to happen due to Mayweather's demands for Pacquiao to submit to blood testing in training.

"The possibility to fight with him, you know, the question is not for us," Pacquiao said in a report by news agency AFP. "It's for them because any time we are willing to fight, any time. I think that question belongs to them, their camp."
In spite this, Manny’s Promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, believes the desire is there to strike a deal, but says the final decision lies with Mayweather.
The undefeated Mayweather has previously tweeted that he will be making a “surprise” announcement after his rematch with Maidana.

"We can't waste our time waiting for him," Roach said in the same AFP report. "We've done everything we could to make that fight happen. It's like, we're available if he's interested in it, but again we can't sit around waiting for him."
