LAS VEGAS -- Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank Inc., which promotes Pacquiao, said his company intends to negotiate in good faith if Mayweather and Pacquiao both win their upcoming fights.
"I agree that there is a public demand for it that you don't see often in our sport, this pent-up demand for Pacquiao and Mayweather," duBoef said. "I think it's because the names resonate globally, they've been in big fights, they've been in marquee positions.
"So I think it does have a totally different appeal that is just what fight fans want. I think if both guys win, we sit down and talk. If rational behavior prevails, which it has a tough time doing in our sport ... then the public will get it."
Mayweather will face Juan Manuel Marquez on Satuday. Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto will square off Nov. 14.
