Judging the Best: Harold Lederman Speaks of the State of Boxing

MA: In your opinion what would be the perfect fight?
I tell you, Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao would be pretty close (laughter) to a perfect fight. That’s for sure. You have one terrific fighter and another terrific fighter who is a lot more active.

MA: How do you see that fight happening?
How do I see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao happening? One of these days, Mayweather is going to decide that 35 or 40 million dollars is a lot of money to make in one night and he is going to sign to fight Manny Pacquiao. And I guess that’s how it’s going happen. As soon as Floyd feels that he can use another 40 million dollars or so (laughter) he will sign the contract.
Let’s face reality it’s going to generate an awful lot of money. It’s going be sensational! The whole world wants to see it, everybody is talking about it. It’s got to happen.
