    Even a Old, Shot and Past his prime Morales gave Maidana hell and only managed to win via Majority decision or it could have gone either way.

    Maidana's ''Power'' couldn't even stop an Old Morales and Amir ''King'' Khan.

    May's got a better legacy alright, Mayweather will be known as the boxer who made lots of excuses and demands against a little fighter in Pacquiao.

    - Pacquiao has to sign with TMT Promotions or no fight.

    - Pacquiao $40 million offer with NO PPV SHARE. (Pacquiao has a lot of fans and also has the drawing power).

    - ''If the fight did happen with Pacquiao, I wouldn't be pleased with it''

    List goes on..............Worst thing is that these came from Mayweather's mouth not his team, unlike in Pacquiao's case with the ''Stadium, cut healing excuses'' all came from Bob Arum.

    Mayweather Biggest Diva in the Sport.

    Like it or not, they will both be blamed for not making the biggest fight in boxing history especially when it mattered(2009-2011). Mayweather will get far more heat than Pacquiao, that's for sure.

    "Manny Pacquiao said a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. might happen in May next year with him getting a guaranteed prize of $80 million. Mayweather, on the other hand, will get $100 million."

    That's crazy money. But in all honesty I don't really care anymore, both are past prime whatever the outcome of any possible fight now, won't tell us what would have happened 3-4 years ago when this fight really mattered.

    We've seen both their PPV numbers drop. While it will likely be a huge fight it's no longer guaranteed to shatter PPV records like it would have done.

    At the height of interest even casual fans were talking about this fight, hell women at my job were talking about this fight yet now I hear nothing about this fight in the mainstream. Anyone guaranteeing such huge purses are taking a risk you are looking a over 2 million PPV buys just to break even.

    if true, it's really crazy money and it's also crazy why these two haven't fought yet

    If Arum makes 20% of Pac's purse, then there is no way that he will accept 10M to step aside as surely Pac will make more than 50M (since he has turned down 40M in the past for the fight).

    Arum wants "Top Rank" all over the posters and ring, would want to have a couple Top Rank fighters on the undercard, and surely would want to stand at the podium for every press conference listening to himself talk. You would have to guarantee to pay him much more than his normal contractual take on Pacquiao's purse in order to give up his share of a theoretical promotion.

    No both need it. It will go down really bad for both and for boxing if this fight does not happen. It's already bringing the sport of boxing down with their constant avoiding of each other. Two of the best boxers for years and in the same weight division not fighting? Its a ****ing joke.

    Unfortunately this has been the feeling for 2 years now.

    Oh, how a fight in 2010 could have been glorious!
