LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Manny Pacquiao dismissed Shane Mosley's talk about an impending deal for an October fight as a ploy, saying Thursday he has many possible next foes and no impending deal with the American.

Pacquiao responded after Mosley claimed the Filipino superstar's willingness to fight him — if the details were right — was an acceptance of a challenge to meet him in the ring.

''I am not blaming people for coming up with ideas to lure me to fight them,'' Pacquiao said. ''Of course everyone wants to fight me."

''We will make the announcement at a proper time and a proper place after all the fight details have been discussed.''

The super fight most boxing fans want to see is Pacquiao and unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr., although with hard feelings between Mayweather and Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum, negotiations could be difficult and derail such a showdown.

World Boxing Association welterweight champion Mosley indicated he would face Pacquiao at a catchweight and accept only 40 percent of the purse to 60 for Pacquiao, which sparked several errant reports that a deal was finalized.

''It's funny that I am the last man to know about this supposed fight,'' said Pacquiao. ''I know everyone wants to fight me and I have said I will fight anyone, including Mosley."

''But I have not heard from my promoter or have seen any contract or fight detail, so there is no fight yet."

''I am flattered that even the great 'Sugar' Shane Mosley is now going after me by any means. I am not closing the door on any negotiations, though, and I trust my promotional and training team to make the best decision for me.''

Mosley's willingness to accept a secondary payday could help if talks ever become serious with Pacquiao or Mayweather, who has said he will not settle for even a 50-50 split with Pacquiao to effectively foil mega-fight talks before they can even start.

''I have said it before and I will say it again, I will not run away from a great fight,'' Pacquiao said. ''Floyd Mayweather is even using reverse psychology, saying he will not agree to fight me for a 50-50 purse.''
