Yes, it will. The reasoning: conventional wisdom says there is too much money on the table, especially for a fighter who prides himself on taking home the biggest purse possible.
Too much money to be made for both fighters. They won't back out of making 20-30 million plus all those % they'll recieve from PPV etc.
The meeting on monday went well. Arum says they are confident a deal can be made for a May 1st fight.
That's what everyone said about Lennox vs Vitali Klitschko II. They were guaranteeing Lewis 30 mill for the fight and he still chose to retire. If I were Floyd, i would fake the negotiation with no intention of fighting pac and fight Paul Williams if he beats Sergio Martinez. If P Will loses to Sergio, i would fight the winner of Berto vs Mosley and completely avoid the Pacmonster. He will get taken apart by this version of Pac...just ask his father.
1. Lennox wanted to retire. Floyd and Pacquiao still intend to have more fights and this is the natural choice for both. 2. Horrible plan. Far more money and recognition here with Pacquiao. The media is hot on both Floyd and Manny... put them together and you get a superfight on a worldwide scale. 3. No.
