An athlete shouldn't have the right to over-rule a State Athletic Commission nor to dictate what their policies and procedures should be nor to change them in any manner ...
It doesn't matter anyway; the fight will still happen, just in the Fall instead.
I don't believe Roach, Pacquiao, Arum, and Mayweather ever seriously considered the March 13 date as anything but a ploy to add drama to the buildup of a mega-fight, build the gate.
Less than 3 months from late Dec announcement to March 13 doesn't seem long enough at all to build a huge ppv in this day and age.
Usually 4 to 6 months is what it takes to build a huge ppv.
