Floyd Mayweather has hinted that his long-awaited showdown with Manny Pacquiao could take place in May next year.
In a video message linked from his official Twitter page Mayweather, a five-division world champion and the current WBO welterweight champion, called on the Filipino to make the fight happen.
Pacquiao, who has won titles at eight divisions, recently registered a controversial defeat of Juan Manuel Marquez, stating afterward he was keen to take on Mayweather.
The pair had agreed to fight in March 2010 but it was called off due to a dispute about pre-bout blood tests. Now, Mayweather has called on his rival to sign a contract.
