Floyd rebuffs any questions about a potential Pacquiao showdown but expects Pacquiao to call him out just to get his ego stroked.

This is the same guy who responds to the same media when asked about Pacquiao that all roads lead to him and that he needs to talk with his advisers Ellerbe and Haymon about what's best for him even though he's suppose to be his own boss.

It's also obvious that he's also trying to bait Pac to call him out so he can use it against him during the negotiations and try to command the lion's share of the split which apparently Pac is to smart to fall for.

Here is the thing, there is nothing that Arum would love more then for Manny to whip Floyds ass, it would make his life complete. On the flipside there is nothing that he would hate more then to have Manny fall at the hands of Mayweather. Roach has been on the record as saying that a fight with Floyd would be a tough fight for Manny to win, but then again he has also been on record as having said that Floyd would be an easy fight, so roach is a wash. The only comments that Manny seem to make about the fight is about all the reason that Floyd wont fight him.

I still say that its going to be a tough fight to make. Floyd isnt going to fight at 145 or even 146. Im guessing and Hoping that Pac Cotto will do at least what Mayweather vs Marquez did, the bigger the PPV numbers the more likely the fight will happen, it will entice Floyd to agree to the 50/50 split that this fight should be. If it doesnt do the numbers Floyd will push for the bigger share and I dont think that team Pac will take it. Now we come to the biggest road block and that is Arum, my guess is Arum will throw Chavez Jrs name in the mix it seems that for some odd reason he has a hard on for that fight to happen, Mosely will be used as bait, although I would rather still see Mosley vs Mayweather(But after 11-14 Im really warming up to a Floyd vs Manny superfight). I think that depending on how shane looks in his fight with Berto shane may be more likely then Floyd. REASON second only to Manny beatting Floyd, Arum would love nothing more then to freeze Mayweather out altogether.

All sound reasoning. Except the amount of money involved is the key factor. It seems to me that Mayweather won't get better then 50-50 IMO, Pac won't budge. Mayweather will posture through the media, but the fact is I doubt they will release the purse split publicly to protect Mayweathers EGO, I would say that Mayweather would be even willing to settle on 55-45 in PACS favor as long as that figure was never released.

Well, it's out there, and if PAc does not make the fight, he will live in infamy as the biggest fraud of the decade.

Pac's a *****, and if he doesn't make the fight, he will live as a overrated breathing coward who only fights 'past it ,catch weight, weight weakened, or inferior' fighters. Fight Floyd Pac with your big waffle iron head.

Then let PBF go fight someone else. It will be on Pac's term or no fight.

Pac fight's anyone next and it will be a sell out. Go ahead Floyd. Who you going to fight. After people saw what a real champ does I don't think PBF will draw fly to **** without Pac.:deal

[url]Mayweather calls Pacquiao out, Arum says silence is golden[/url]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been quiet for weeks as Manny Pacquiao prepared for, then delivered, a stirring performance in his 12th-round TKO of Miguel Cotto Saturday night in Las Vegas.

On Monday, Mayweather (40-0) released a statement through his publicist expressing concern that pound-for-pound and world welterweight champion Pacquiao hasn't been more aggressive in pushing for a showdown that could be the most lucrative event in the sport's history.

The release said Mayweather listened to several comments made by Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, and trainer, Freddie Roach, but "still has yet to hear Manny Pacquiao himself say he wants to fight him."
Pacquiao, after the Cotto victory, said he does the fighting and lets Arum select who he'll fight. He has also expressed doubt Mayweather wants to fight him.

"Manny Pacquiao is the fighter and every time someone asks him if he wants to fight me, he says it is up to my promoter ... ," Mayweather said in the statement. "I have yet to hear him actually say, 'Yes, I want to fight Mayweather.' We are the fighters and if one fighter is talking about fighting another fighter, then they should just come out and say it. Manny Pacquiao doesn't say anything directly about fighting me because he might just know it's not a fight he can win."
That qualifies as calling Pacquiao out.

Defensive specialist Mayweather criticized Pacquiao for saying "Money" only cares about cash and not producing entertaining fights.
"Why is he talking about what I won't do instead of what he wants to do?" Mayweather asked in the statement. "Plain and simple, it's because he knows he can't beat me under any circumstances.

"Less than an hour after his fight, ... the talk turns to me. Their whole promotion was just a Mayweather sweepstakes. ... The world is much more intrigued by the thought of someone fighting me who can beat me. ... Manny Pacquiao's people have done a good job of creating an image of him to be this unbelievable fighter and now the so-called guy to beat me. But like all the rest, he's not the one.

"Tell Manny Pacquiao to be his own man and stop letting everyone, including his loudmouth trainer, talk for him. If Manny Pacquiao wants to fight me, all he has to do is step up to the plate and say it himself."
Pacquiao wasn't immediately available Monday.

His promoter Bob Arum declined to discuss the beginning of negotiations, and said he's urging those around his company to keep quiet publicly.
"The one way this will be upset and not happen if it is negotiated through the newspapers," Arum told The Times Monday. "All I want to say is that my guy [Pacquiao] has said, 'We're here, we're ready to fight Mayweather.' "
So there you go.

Arum added he was deluged Monday by more interest from suitors looking to host the fight, including officials from the new New York Giants/Jets stadium, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field in New York, the Dallas Cowboys' stadium, the City of New Orleans, and Las Vegas authorities pitching the construction of a 30,000-seat outdoor facility.
