Progress! Top Rank receives ticket manifest for Mayweather-Pacquiao fight
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/boxing/manny-pacquiao-adviser-suggest-lawsuits-will-come-in-wake-of-ticket-debacle-001536660.htmlThere was a major breakthrough in the ticket debacle between Top Rank and Mayweather Promotions that has brought talk about the May 2 mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao to a standstill.
Top Rank president Todd duBoef confirmed to Yahoo Sports he received a ticket manifest late afternoon Tuesday, which he said represents significant progress in the dispute. DuBoef said there were "small issues" with the manifest but he was generally pleased with what he saw....
Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser, angrily said a "lawsuit is inevitable" earlier Tuesday as another day passed with no tickets on sale and no signed contract between the promoters and the venue for the May 2 megafight at the MGM Grand Garden between Pacquiao and unbeaten rival Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweather Promotions is the lead promoter in the event, but Top Rank, which represents Pacquiao, is the co-promoter. However, there is not a signed agreement between the promoters and the MGM Grand yet and tickets haven't been put on sale.

Is Pacquiao trying to weasel out of this?
