For years the two sides have openly argued about terms of a potential fight, but nothing materialized. Two weeks ago Pacquiao stated he gave Mayweather a January 31, 2015 deadline to sign a contract to fight him or he would go elsewhere. A week later Pacquiao met up with British boxer Amir Khan in London, which attracted a lot of attention.
