Mayweathers adviser says fight is a joke

On Wednesday night, Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisers, told ESPN that Mayweather had decided to return to the ring May 5 and that they had put the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on hold."We're looking to make the biggest fight possible and everyone knows what that fight is, the little fella," said Ellerbe who talked about Pacquiao.Pacquiao defends his welterweight title in a third showdown with Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand on Nov. 12. Arum said the Mayweather camp making an announcement about his next fight just before Pacquiao's bout was simply a way of trying to steal some of the spotlight from Pacquiao. Arum also said if the Mayweather camp was serious about trying to make the fight they would come to him privately, not work though the media.
