Mayweather visits Pacquiao at hotel; megafight on?

MANILA, Philippines – Will the boxing world finally see the light at the end of the tunnel?

A radio report said that Floyd Mayweather Jr. visited Manny Pacquiao in his suite in Miami on Wednesday.

Bernard Cloma, Pacquiao's close friend, claimed that the two boxers had a “long” chat in the hotel hours after they met during the halftime of Miami Heat and Miwaukee Bucks NBA game in Miami.

“Pumunta si Mayweather dito sa hotel ni Manny,” Cloma said in his interview with dzMM. “Yes binisita niya, nag-usap sila ng matagal.”

Though admitting that he wasn't inside the room, Cloma said that Pacquiao and Mayweather talked at the sala where Pacquiao's wife Jinkee, her twin sister Janet Jamora and adviser Michael Koncz were present.

The close friend of Manny and Jinkee also belied reports that Mayweather asked Pacquiao and Koncz to stop telling lies about the supposed “contract” for the May 2 bout.

He added that he met a different Mayweather, far from the boxer's arrogant character to the public.

“Sobrang bait niya. Hanga ako kay Mayweather, mabait siya. Kaya 'yung iba diyan na gumagawa ng istorya, that's not true, na inaway daw. That's not true," Cloma stressed.

In the end, Cloma refused to disclose what Pacquiao and Mayweather talked about, but confirmed that the fight will happen.

“Matutuloy,” he answered confidently.

Until now, talks for the much anticipated match between Pacquiao and Mayweather are still ongoing.

Top Rank chief Bob Arum claimed that they are just waiting for Mayweather to sign the contract, but the American boxer said that there is no contract.

Pacquiao earlier said that he can't wait forever for Mayweather to decide as he gave him until the end of the month.

The eight-division champion is looking at his former sparring mate Amir Khan as an alternative, while Mayweather is also reportedly considering a rematch with Miguel Cotto.
