I can see a very hard time having this fight made and can definitely see negotiations ruining this fight. Heres why: (1) Bob Arum & Al Haymon Its been reported on alot that Arum basically hates Haymon and refuses to work with him. As we all know Haymon is Floyds 'advisor' or whatever and they are close. I can see negotiations being tough or even impossible thanks to this problem. (2) Money and what "Money" thinks he is owed Arum has already stated that Floyd is going to want the lions share of the money and that he isnt willing to do it like that. And from the way Floyd was talking at the press confrence ("I dont change for fighters, they change for me" and "Im the cash cow of the sport") its clear he believes he is the new Oscar (which i think is bull****) and that he deserves all the money. We all know that Manny is basically a stubborn **** with negotitions who loves to **** around (hey i love the guy but its true, look at all the bull**** that went on with both the De La Hoya and Hatton fights) and he and his promoter arent going to budge. (3) Miguel Cotto Arum has already stated he would rather see this fight happen (Pacquiao V Cotto) and because there is no Al Haymon and Cotto is with Top Rank, it is a much much easier fight to make as Arum and a number of writers have already stated. Provided he beat Clottey (which isnt a given) i can see this fight being made much easier and quicker. So i mean seriously dont just reply with the same old oh it will happen this and that. Id love to see it but at the end of the day it wouldnt be the first time a big fight got runined thanks to politics, money and overall bull**** (think Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones) So whats everyones opinion. I know we all want to see it, but i cant see it happening without some brutal negotiation and as i said i honestly believe the huge HUGE egos invovled (Arum, Haymon, Mayweather & Pacquiao) all have a very good chance of ****ing things up for us.
