Floyd wouldnt budge at all and the fight is off, now before anyone says Floyd was rite not to budge why is he?? He brought his demands in that are not regualted in the Boxing world and his opponent Pac for whatever reason is not happy with these demands, even Mayweathers people were happy with the new terms Pac was prepared to do and tried to persuade Floyd to sign but he wouldnt. For me who is not a huge fan of both, I actully would of fancied Mayweather to win the fight but now i think Floyd didnt want the fight from day one.
He didnt even offer a counter propopsal to Pac's:

It should not come as much of a surprise to BoxingInsider.com readers that the pound-for-pound pretender Floyd Mayweather would back out of the March 13 “Super Bowl of Boxing” as he did last night at Daniel Weinstein’s mediation meetings. According to various reports, Mayweather rejected the pleadings of his own handlers to take the fight, refusing to accept the 24-day before fight random blood test for superstar extraordinaire Manny Pacquiao.
This duck by Mayweather will prove costly, not only to himself – he was guaranteed $25 million and could have earned up to $40 million – but also to the sport, HBO, Golden Boy and sporting enthusiasts all over the globe who were eagerly looking forward to the showdown. It is not clear at this time how Mayweather’s evasion of the fight will affect his business relationships with HBO, Golden Boy, his sponsors, and his supporters. But the saying, “A coward dies a thousand deaths,” may most accurately describe what Mayweather has to look forward to in regards to his professional and personal future, as well as the devastating defamation lawsuit he now has to deal with from Manny Pacquiao.
The deathblow to the March 13 Super-fight came when Mayweather apparently refused to offer any counter proposal to the Pacquiao team late yesterday evening, effectively canceling the highly-anticipated event.
