Agence France Presse: Manny Pacquiao says he is ready to move on and now plans to take a welterweight title fight against Joshua Clottey in March instead of facing Floyd Mayweather.
Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum told Sports Illustrated that after six weeks of failed negotiations Mayweather is no longer on Pacquiao's radar screen and that the Filipino boxer now has a tentative agreement to fight Clottey.
SI.com reported Friday that Pacquiao and ex-champ Clottey would meet in a World Boxing Organization welterweight title fight on March 13 possibly at Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
"They are just trying to get under Manny's skin," Arum told SI.com of Mayweather's camp. "It serves no purpose to aggravate Manny Pacquiao.
"This is beyond stupid. We are not negotiating with these punks anymore."
But Mayweather's camp isn't ready to throw in the towel. Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer has said he still feels one of the richest fights in boxing history can be saved.
