    With Manny Pacquiao’s defamation lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather Jr. reaching a settlement this week, it was thought that this would be one of the few remaining hurdles removed for a mega fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather. However, Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s personal adviser, has his doubts whether this will put Mayweather in the mood to fight Pacquiao now.

    Koncz said to philboxing.com “We don’t have any [further] litigation [with Mayweather] but I don’t know whether that makes Mayweather feel better.”

    I can understand how it wouldn’t exactly make Mayweather feel. How would you feel if you had to pay a settlement and then give a statement afterwards about it? I think a lot of people might still harbor some resentment with the settlement and the statement. I can see how it might not be an issue for Pacquiao, because it looks like he got what he wanted. But for Mayweather, it could be a sore issue with him and I can understand that. This isn’t the best way to go about putting a fight together if someone just went through what Mayweather did.
