On Sunday, Floyd Mayweather Jr. put another twist on the saga with Manny Pacquiao as he publicly declared that he's just waiting on Manny to sign the contract. Floyd says he's "been ready" to fight and even had a new outfit made for their historic encounter. The undefeated boxer stated that as soon as Manny takes the tests and sings the contract they will fight. According to Fighthype.com, Mayweather Jr. made the following comments:

Mayweather Jr. is convinced that the negotiations were settled as he claimed last week to have signed the contract for a fight with Pacwuiao. However, he hasn't publicly stated what the details of the contract were. It's easy to sign a contract if it's in his favor. Floyd declared that he will show the fans the contract in the near future.

In this revealing video on Fighthype.com, Floyd unveiled his new ring attire that he had specially made for the Pacquiao fight. Floyd goes deep into his storage room and rummages through some containers to pull out the ring attire that he had made. The outfit consisted of black and neon orange shorts and jacket with orange and black Reebok shoes.

As of now, the negotiations between Manny and Floyd have failed three times with both sides blaming the other. Bob Arum has publicly stated that Floyd is the one who's backed out and now Floyd is stating that Manny refused to sign. Unfortuantely, it's the boxing fans that lose out on a great fight as both sides play "he said/she said".

Floyd is currently involved in 5 separate court cases which range from misdemeanor fines to serious felony charges that could land him in prison for 34 years. Pacquiao is currently in the process of locking up a "Trilogy fight" with Juan Manuel Marquez.
