Anyway I've said it before and I'll say it again, this fight won't happen.
Floyd recently said about Pacquiao:
"Then I offered you $40 million, then you didn't want to make the fight happen. You lost twice, now you coming back begging for the same money".
Floyd wants Manny to take less than 40 million for a fight that would generate more money than any other fight in boxing history.
Floyd already sticking a huge obstacle in the way of the fight. Surprise surprise.
Problem now is that he's gonna make himself look even more like an idiot now if it doesn't happen.
Think they should change the rules and each boxer should be paid 40/40 with the remaining 20 percent going into a pot for the winner.
Floyd's quote in full was:
"Then I offered you $40 million, then you didn't want to make the fight happen. You lost twice, now you coming back begging for the same money. That's not gonna happen".
That last sentence is very worrying and ominous in my opinion.
"not gonna happen".
A bit like this fight then.
What also concerns me about Floyd's recent comments are when he said:
"we have to make the fight happen on Showtime pay-per-view, because 'Showtime Championship Boxing' is No. 1 and will remain No. 1".
That would be yet another huge obstacle to this fight happening as we all know this would need to be a Showtime/HBO split like the Lewis-Tyson fight was.
I just hope that Floyd wasn't insinuating that because it looks like he was.
TBH Superb, I wouldn't bet a quid on this fight happening. Floyd's doing what he does best which is getting peoples hopes up just to pee on them from a great height.
I do hope he is (rightfully imo) derided at the end of his career for his avoidance to fight anyone these days.
derby if you look at the whole of Floyd's recent comment about the fight it's really clever.
Floyd is a very clever guy I'll give him that.
He's trying to turn the tables and put all the blame at Manny's feet while at the same time keeping the same obstacles that prevented the fight from ever happening the first time round.
Floyd knows that everyone is calling him a ducker so he's trying to make the public now think that he's always wanted this fight when the evidence overwhelmingly shows that he didn't.
As you say I wouldn't even bet a quid on this fight happening. Even at odds of 100/1. It would be a waste of a quid.

vik i know floyd is the a side but its just the list of silly excuses he keeps bringing up regarding manny
he keeps referring to manny pacquiao ppv's numbers,
then he keeps saying pacquiao lost to marquez, he needs to go sort out marquez first.. hes has never done that before for any of his other opponents
then he says manny has to become his own boss if he wants a fight with him
then its the drug testing
then its the ppv split..
then he says manny only wants to fight me for the money, so what lol?
lets be fair now, most of the things ive listed up there are none of floyd's beeswax. if he wants to dictate to manny the ppv split and maybe the drug testing thats fine but he should let the commission do their job really
all that other stuff has nothing to do with floyd.
bob arum is a problem though but im unsure of how much floyd really dislikes him. there was a selfie picture of floyd jamie foxx and bob arum together taken a few years back, makes you wonder how much floyd really dislikes arum.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well obviously he wants the fight on showtime,he has a contract with them for 2 more fights so why would he break the constraints of that contract which by the way are paying his wages
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Clearly you didn't read what I said Guv.
If Floyd wants the fight on Showtime only then there will be a huge problem as we all know.
Hopefully that wasn't what Floyd was insinuating. That was my point.

Floyd is called money for a reason.He loves it and it drives him so why would he not try and get every last dime out of the fight? Also floyd generates the most money in boxing,his ppv numbers have showed it so he is the A side in this deal.
Every deal has an A side and B side.The A side is normally the side that hold the most power because they bring in the most money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well for a start Floyd's ppv numbers have been slipping in recent fights.
Secondly why should Manny only get say 30 million for the fight if Floyd is getting several times that amount??
Let's just face it. We're gna see floyd vs guerrero 2 in may #tbe
Canelo v Cotto has been lined up for May 2nd for ages. Arum and Roach both heavily involved in that fight. Floyd is so transparent.
He retired, vacating his belt, rather than give Pac a mandatory. Says it all. Floyd Mayweather will NEVER fight Manny Pacquiao.
Manny will just be added to the list of ducks in the Mayweather pond.
Kostya Tszyu
Barrera
Morales
Williams
Freitas
Margarito
Fraud Mayweather
I can't believe in how many gullible fools that are here that fall for Floyd's BS time and time again
Pacquaio is 100% blameless, the only reason for the fight not happening is because Floyd does not want it.

Arum and Oscar have been at odds for years and some great fights haven't been made because of it.
Eventually they've put their differences aside to try and make a good fight in Cotto-Canelo, the date touted was always May 2nd (maybe a ploy to take that date from Mayweather in the first place, but Canelo is a Mexican fighter). Mayweather coming out with that date is just him throwing a spanner in the works, NOT of trying to make the Pac fight happen.
For Floyd-Manny to fight on that date would mean Arum would have to feck over Oscar, which no real boxing fan should want as that partnership means big fights will get made again instead of the dross of the last few years. So either, Mayweather wants to feck the entire sport, or just look as if he wants a fight without having to make it. Just like when he said he'd fight Manny after Ortiz
Roach would also need to choose between Manny and Cotto, he can't train two fighters at once. So that's a massive no, Pac isn't going to switch trainer
Just more ridiculous, impossible, demands and conditions from Mayweather.

Do you think they are going to pass up the opportunity to make 15 good fights for 1 great one? No.
Why sever a profitable relationship for Floyd, who doesn't have any obligation to use GB promotions and is with Al Haymon now.
I agree with many of the comments above. This fight will never happen. Floyd doesn't want it.
If Floyd takes this fight I will write an article on the ja606 boxing board where I issue an apology to Floyd although I know I won't have to do it.
This recent talk from Floyd is nothing more than a well planned publicity stunt because he knows full well that even some diehard Floyd fans are calling him a ducker. That's how bad it's got for him.
He had to give the public something so he's giving us this hope of cinco de Mayo BS. When it all unravels and falls apart no doubt Floyd will have planned a good excuse as to how it was all Bob Arum's fault or how Manny didn't agree to a certain stipulation.
Floyd's a clever guy, he'll have this all planned out I'm sure.
