    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 May 5 if he chooses to. But he’s the one who needs to agree to the 50 per cent split,”

    “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 and just broadcasts it in the internet but not one person from his camp or Dela Hoya even contacted me or Bob. If he takes the fight, he can make $50-to-60 million. I hope he finally does it like we have always wanted the past two years. 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.”

    Don't know what Bob's been telling Manny, but, Mayweather would be cool with a 50-50 split.

    This is beyond ridiculous, now. If the two won't fight each other just yet, I wish they'd shut the **** up and get on with their other fights.

    Yes, i read somewhere that floyd was prepared to go 50 50 but wouldn't adjust the may 5th date. So if the above is true and floyd is cool with the split at least we have the fighters agreeing on something. However, I can't help but think about what bob arum wants and lets be fair some of the statements of late have been very much the opposite of we are ready and willing to fight on may 5th.

    these guys need to get rid of arum and schaefer, find a gym - and just get it on, have cameras film it- and be done. all these promoters are gettting in the way of a good fight. pac wants it- , floyd wants it- arum and schaefer are just trying to get evey last dollar and every bit of leverage. if they wanted the fight- they could compromise on the issues. but they dont. the two fighters need to insist they want this and only this fight. this is sht. i ve been waiting for 3 years for this- to the point where now if it happens - it dosent even mean that much.
