Pacquiao seeks opponent as Mayweather misses deadline

NEW YORK - Manny Pacquiao will begin negotiations with other potential opponents after Floyd Mayweather missed a deadline set by the Filipino fighter's promoter to make a megafight deal.

Promoter Bob Arum said on Saturday that Mayweather has another 10 days or so to make contact while he talks with other fighters such as Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. Arum said the Mayweather fight is not dead but now he must start making plans for the Asian superstar's next bout.

"We now have to go out and secure an opponent for Manny Pacquiao assuming it won't be Floyd," Arum said.
