    Manny Pacquiao agrees to fight May 5th.

    “To all of my fans…Mayweather just needs to agree to and accept a 50 percent split, and if he does, then the fight will go through. He’s the one who needs to agree,”
    “He’s the one who has to say yes. The reason is because he talks to a lot of people. He has a lot of representatives. If he takes the fight, he can make $50-to-60 million. That’s how much he can make.”
    “I want to fight him. This is the fight the world wants. Mayweather wants a guaranteed purse, so what he has to do is get a promoter who can give him the guarantee,” said Pacquiao.
    “I don’t have problems getting a guarantee because I have a promoter who will give me my guaranteed purse. If he gets a guarantee, then we are going to share the revenue on a 50-50 basis.”

    Paquaio will lose in one sided match. Afterwards his fans will claim that he was past his prime

    I have a feeling that the may 5th title is just one webmaster being too enthusiastic.

    It looks like they're taking turns laying out their terms. They are in effect negotiating through the media, but you're right they need to get some face-time and get some papers signed.

    Sounds like progress!

    Not going to get my hopes up of course.

    But appears that Pac is willing to fight on May 5 at MGM grand for a 50-50 split. So let's do it.

    I just hope something that's already been dealt with doesn't crop up, e.g. drug testing.

    assumign hes actaully agreeing to may 5th floyd should have no excuses . but really the whole date thing is so meaningless anyway. late may, early may who gives a **** honestly? That shouldnt be a roadblock, one of them just needs to cave in on that , its not a big deal.

    But the fight still isnt happening. Too many other issues to crop up, and I'm 100% sure Floyd already has another fight planned, and this alll just not another publicity stunt.
