Why is Pacquiao all of a sudden so loose lipped?

Why is Pacquiao ignoring the so called "gag order" on the negoitiations. I personally think he wants to make sure he has an alibi for fighting another washed up fighter in November instead of Mayweather. What do you think?

Update:

@John B - those reports are coming from Pacquiao. I just think it's funny how roles are reversed. The whole point of the gag order I thought was so that disagreements could be work out in private without the influence of the media and fans.

    I guess he is not being very discipline and being very easily rattled by all of the crazy antics from Mayweather's camp. I wonder if this lack of discipline and being easily frustrated is a foreshadow of how he will be in the ring when the Mayweather's try to get into his head. And we all know how the Mayweather's play mind games to frustrate opponents.

    didnt it worked for Sugar Shane Mosley except he did it right after Mayweathers fight with marquez maybe pacquiao should have jumped into the ring right after that and personally challenge Mayweather right there and then. I think he knows mayweather is cautious in fighting him so he's maybe trying to coax him into finally giving what all of boxing fans want to see. I sure miss when benitez, duran , leonard , hagler, hearns ruled boxing they all fought each other there was no ducking let the real champ stand up !

    Hes deliberately sabotaging the fight because hes a fake. LEO posted an absolutely fantastic video about Pacquiao picking and choosing, here it is below! Its all propaganda and hes just leaking fake information to get the general public on his side without loosing face. Im so confident that Mayweather will smash him up, if i was Mayweather id so ok winner takes all and make it public! ******* pactards

    hey formarkiz, I agree because both sides agree on the gag order so De La Hoya and Pacquaio making speeches in front of the media violates that. I think Pacquaio fears that the Mayweathe fight may not push through because Mayweather may add other obstacles in the negotiations, at least that is the view of the Pacquiao camp. So I think Pacquaio is no lonegr trying to use diplomacy but forcefully implementing an active and aggressive statement to urge Mayweather not to retire again or detach from the negotiations the way he did against Oscar De La Hoya. :-)

    His balls dropped. Same thing happened to me when I played freshman football in high school.

    hahhaa jk!

    I don't know actually, but I too think he's violating the gag order - I also think because some reports are saying that Mayweather's demanding the lion's share of the purse and their thinking that Pac is accepting the demand. Ego's are the problem.

    I don't see how this is news, it's been stated by both Roach and Pacquiao months ago that Floyd doesn't want the fight and they won't take 60/40.

    Your an IDIOT. And obviously never had the discipline and dedication to train in boxing because ALL boxers/fighters aren't scared to fight ANYONE. So in the end it's about money or whatever but not about being scared.

    Are you kidding? Mayweather has been ducking Pacquiao for the longest time. After all the loops Mayweather's camp set up for Pacquiao and him finally agreeing. Watch this vid

    He's trying to duck him again.

    It is because FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. comment last week. and Pacquiao answered.

    FLOYD SR. says

    "Ain't nothing but rumors, Pacquiao don't wanna fight him, I know Pacquiao don't wanna fight him, how he gonna beat him, with his coach?"
