The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

somewhere out there m irvin is muttering, "mofo is making us brotha's look back with this *****footing."

 

Surely the 60% should go to whoever brings in the consistently larger viewing figures, ergo more money?

Or do you think all fights should be 60% of the purse to the winner no matter who is fighting who?

 

Fight won't happen I honestly think mayweather doesn't want this fight

 

No problem? Then what the hell has Arum been blabbing about for the last few weeks?

 

ANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao is willing to fight on American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s preferred fight date even as his promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, continues to object.

Mayweather last year said he wants to fight Pacquiao on May 2, 2015, and the "Pacman" on Monday said it was not an issue for him.

"Siyempre kung gusto niya… gusto niya May 2," Pacquiao said.

Asked if he is fine with "whatever date" Mayweather wants, the Filipino champ said: "Walang problema."

"Importante lang, kailangan muna matuloy," stressed Pacquiao, adding that he has no idea of where the venue for the bout will be as well.

Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, also has no problem with holding the fight on May 2.

"I am. It needs to happen for both guys. I think we waited long enough," said Roach in a recent interview.

Arum had raised a ruckus when Mayweather set May 2 as the fight date, insisting that it was "disrespectful" for Mexican and Mexican-Americans as it was the weekend of Cinco de Mayo.

"To poach that date… shows a terrible disrespect for the Meixcan people, both those living in Mexico and those living in the United States," the Top Rank boss said at the time.

"And anybody who does the poaching ought to be ashamed of themselves. That goes for hotels and that goes for fighters, and that goes for any of us. I'm willing to make that statement," he said.

Arum said it will be better if the fight is held in April or June, but Mayweather saw the Top Rank's boss's statement as simply another excuse.

"I don't know, Bob Arum is trying to throw another excuse out there, talking about how they don't want to fight on May 2nd," Mayweather said during the World Boxing Convention in Las Vegas recently. "Why not? Let's make the fight happen."

Pacquiao and Mayweather have spent the past few weeks trading barbs on social media, with the "Pacman" sending the American champion tweets even during New Year's Eve.

What makes Pacquiao optimistic is that Mayweather at least now seems willing to sit down and negotiate with him.

"Maganda ngayon kasi nakikipag-usap," he said. "Dati wala eh."

Meanwhile, Pacquiao supervised the practice of the KIA Sorento on Monday as they start preparations for the upcoming PBA Commissioner's Cup.

The "Pacman" will also travel to the United States next week to promote his documentary film "Manny." He has also been invited to be a judge in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant in Miami. -- From a report by Dyan Castillejo, ABS-CBN News

 

So now it was just a negotiation tool? When Arum said it you were agreeing with him, now it's just a tool? You just got exposed.

Didn't know May 2nd was a demand, considering he's been fighting there for years and Pacquiao has no issue with it.

Exactly.

Thanks for posting the whole thing and highlighting it. Clearly the Pac-nerds didn't read that.

 

yeah they did. pac said that even though Arum objected, Pac and Roach have no issue with it.


anyway mayweather will go with the purse excuse this time, not that date. thats next years excuse,

 

Most logical fans knew its not Manny that is causing the delay, its arum. Manny does as he is told by arum. The only gripe a lot of people had is that manny wouldn't speak up and would just always say "its up to my promoter".

 

Good stuff here, get all that little stuff out the way to make it easier to focus on the big issue...the split. They're gonna need to call in mathematicians with all new formula's to sort out the mess that is the split me thinks. It was so much easier the first go around, just 50...50, those were the days.
