Boxing: Pacquiao mum over Mayweather bout

LAS VEGAS: Manny Pacquiao offered no extra hope to fans that he will fight Floyd Mayweather next year. Pacquiao was greeted by hundreds of well-wishers as he arrived at Las Vegas for his Saturday fight against Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez, but he was ho-hum about Mayweather’s pitch last week for a May 5 fight. “Whatever fight my promoter gives me I’ll take it and fight hard,” said Pacquiao. “We haven’t made a decision about the next opponent.”
