So far.
Unfortunately, if there will be one, it will almost certainly not be until May 2011. The deadline imposed by the highest-ranking 23:59 Pacific on Friday, Mayweather to accept the offer on the table to battle with the November 13 shooting with a peep over the bullet Mayweather or his representatives.

Deadline, "said Arum, is just the end of the exclusive negotiating period for a fight Mayweather, shooting.
He said work will begin later on Saturday to reach an agreement to fight a battle with archery Margarito Antonio both, the former World Boxing Organization welterweight in 2009 champion who was suspended from boxing for one year by the Commission on California sports state after encounter with plaster article like his hand slipped into the roll before the battle with Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto.
Will not come anywhere close to the battle to create a kind of excitement and sizzle that would create a Mayweather fight, shooting. Mayweather liked them and the field of archery, the best two fighters and two of the biggest stars in the world wide margin.
Could have sold their fighting 3000000 pay-per-view purchase and make every man, up from 60 million dollars.
Shooting, going to have to take a big pay cut to fight either Margarito or Cotto, who can not God bless them. He probably will not provide any more than a quarter of what it would have made if the Mayweather fight, though Arum said the call would not discuss it only after talking with the shooting.
Possibility of a Mayweather fight is still shooting, may be one of the main reasons Arum struck a conciliatory tone in a non-normal on Saturday. He urged the media not to criticize against Mayweather failed to respond.
He speculated that the reason Mayweather may not want to take a decision after that because his uncle, Roger Mayweather, go to trial in a court room in Las Vegas on Aug. 2 on charges he assaulted female boxer trained once.
Roger Mayweather has trained his nephew in the first place over the past 10 years, and conjectured that Arum, Mayweather does not want to fight without his uncle is preparing for it.
"Without knowledge, and I am sure that there are very, very good reason that Floyd Mayweather and the lack of commitment to the battle at this time," Arum said, quietly. "I really, truly believe that. Now I'm speculating, but one reason could be uncertainty Roger Mayweather.
"People may not know Roger Mayweather is scheduled to go to court in Nevada on criminal charges. I know Manny does not want to go into battle without the services of Freddie Roach. Assumes, Floyd feels the same way about getting in a great battle for such services from without his uncle Roger. "
No one knows, though, because Mayweather silent. He has not spoken publicly about the possibility of shooting a battle for months. No advisor, Al Haymon, who engaged in negotiations with Arum strange in an attempt to make the fight despite the fact that men do not talk to each other.

HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg mediator. Arum and talk to Greenburg, Greenburg, and will carry a message for Arum Haymon. In turn, Greenburg then gave ideas Haymon to return to Arum.
Arum and Haymon was eventually to reach an agreement. Or at least they did Arum said on June 30, when he declared that there are no outstanding issues and that the only remaining question is whether Mayweather will fight, shooting in November or May 2011.
"I did not speak one of the side Mayweather and I did not occur Floyd Mayweather," said Arum. "I spoke only for Ross Greenburg, who I posted some of the things he received from talking to Haymon al Qaeda."
It does not matter if Arum agreed, or if approved by Greenburg, or if Haymon agreed. However, if the matter Mayweather agreed, unfortunately, not even the highest-ranking countdown duBoef like the president decided to start at the top of the company on Thursday to force him on a budget, or even to speak.
Arum said the deadline relating to the exclusive negotiating period with Mayweather, and thus the essence of the word, which lasted 50 minutes and that was a battle Mayweather could conceivably still happen this year. Do not bet on it, though.
And will speak with the promoter of shooting in the next few days to see who prefers shooting to fight. He would then begin to negotiate a contract with the discount option in the shooting. He said he believes he can reach an agreement with any of Cotto or Margarito within 10 days of the start of talks.
He said he'd be open to fight Mayweather Mayweather if it came to him and agreed to the deal before he got with any conditions or Margarito Couto, but he said that once he has a commitment from any of the Cotto Margarito or to move the battle with the shooting, and the battle of Mayweather, shooting for 2010 officially die.
Arum left open the door to a battle between two of May 2011, on the assumption shooting to win in November, a fight.
The whole thing felt a funeral on this topic.
Instead of seeing the biggest stars and the best two fighters in this sport to compete for the largest amount of money in boxing history, we will remain in the face of an exciting either the battle of one side or the bout against the man who was arrested in an attempt to load the roll of his hand.
He believed that listening to Arum speaks in a call to find out all of this, such as the issuance of this Boxing Colts' move in the middle of the night in 1984, from Baltimore to Indianapolis.
Will MGM Grand Garden Arena is almost certain to be a place to bouts with either Cotto or Margarito. Arum said he has a place in Monterrey, Mexico, Margarito lined up if you can not be able to obtain a boxing license in Nevada because of the accident, which occurred with the hand wraps.
If you choose to shooting against Cotto, it would be in either Las Vegas or the Cowboys Stadium in a suburb of Dallas.
As Arum ran through the options shooting without Mayweather, it occurred to me that, for the masses, it will be like trying to buy tickets for the series Sox Yankees Red with the title of division on the line in September and concludes with seats for the Pirates of the Astros, the game instead. It's not fair trade.
In boxing, it's usually fighters who have taken the punches, but do not see the battle of Mayweather, shooting in November is going to feel like a punch in the gut to tens of millions of boxing fans who were hoping that maybe, just maybe, boxing and the right to obtain them for change.
