Mayweather camp not giving up on superfight:

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer was desperately trying to reignite talks Friday to salvage the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight even as Pacquiao’s chief adviser said the Filipino superstar is "hours away" from signing a contract to fight Joshua Clottey.

... Schaefer, though, said he hoped he could revive talks over the weekend because he feels a deal is reachable. Arum scoffed at the talk and said no one from Mayweather’s side had contacted anyone from Top Rank on Friday with the idea of reopening talks.

It is too important for the sport, Schaefer said, to exhaust all possibilities before moving on to other options.

"It would be a disservice to boxing to consider any other names when we still have a few days where we could come to a deal," Schaefer said. "We still do have a few days here and I’m hopeful it won’t take Manny Pacquiao a few days to respond. We’re ready to split this in the middle and other than this, everything else is ready to go."

Ellerbe said the drug-testing procedure will be a part of every fight Mayweather is involved in for the rest of his career.
