Floyd Mayweather Jr. places telephone call to Manny Pacquiao - ESPN
It seems Floyd's really keen on this fight now. I hope they'll be able to work out all the kinks to finally get it done.
Now that's something I wasn't expecting Floyd to do. Now we know he really wants the fight and is pushing for it. Let's just see what BS Arum has to say about this.
Good signs but not really that surprising... below is a post I made seconds after the scores where announced for pac's last fight...
If this fight does not come off it won't be Mayweathers fault THIS TIME ;)Quote:

Forget the 40,000 plus stadium, which i think is BS anyways. Just get this fight signed, it will do 3 million PPV buys. I'm sick of Arums bullshit, he's the only one who doesn't want the fight.
I was expecting a witty punch line to be honest.
"Floyd calls Pac on the phone"........
".....and talks dirty about how he'd love to run his fingers through Pac's dandruff free hair"
Or "asks to speak to Hugh Jass"
you know i love pac but are you on drugs:-\Quote:

there's no way pac wins this. i hope you are right though.
Manny said he told Floyd "anytime," Arum said Manny said they would need to resolve the date. This is tooooooooo much.
Floyd only gets one phone call and he calls Manny.....now THATS a man focused on business!!
:D hey it was there, I had too
You watched the Marquez fight and still have faith in pac. You are more loyal than I. Good call on that though buddy. I was not suprised to see Mayweather call out Pac after that performance. It was the icing on the cake after the two crap previous pefromances. He can see Pac is on the slide so he moves in for the kill. Like hunting a wounded buffalo.Quote:

It is a shame this fight did not happen a couple of years back as I would have given Pac more of a chance.
Think he has become a lazy fighter as the money and fame has got to him.
If he has decided not to push for the drug tests then he obvoiusly feels he is going to win. Its just a shame him and Pac were not afraid of loosing there status earlier.
Pac needs to man up and take this fight. It does not have to be the date Mayweather set but just as long as there is a date set that they stick to then I am a happy man.
Thing is it wasn't after the Marquez fight that Floyd called him out lol it was before. Sure it could have been a ploy to get Pac unfocused but I'll say again. At no time has Mayweather been afraid of Manny Pacquiao. I dont think you guys realise how ludicrous that even sounds.
This phonecall biz is interesting to say the least. What I'm MOST interested in is why Floyd has suddenly gone from "I dont call people out - All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather" to calling Manny out every day! It's great but I'd be interested to know exactly why he changed his stance
I really think too much is made of the Marquez fight... sure Floyd can do the same and better but he does not and is not used to getting hit as he is just that good... Manny will hit him and hurt him.
and alot more times than an ageing Mosley did and be more consistent than DLH :)
as said on another thread by a few even if they say end of May the satdium won't be finished - these things never are
then what do they do seeing as though PBF has a date with the penitentiary ?
Give it up saddo!... ;) :pQuote:

I can see Mayweather fighting Khan before this happens :)
Just don't see anyone rushing into a fight this big , It's nearly February and nothings been signed still ;)
Too much money to be made by too many people.. they'll wanna hype the fuck out of this one over a much longer period of time (24/7 series etc) Floyds still in Jail at the end of the day ;)
Just found this so i was right ;D
"May 5th is kind of soon," said Roach. "For a fight of this magnitude to happen you need time, you've got to promote the fight right, and again it's about negotiations: who's going to get what. Is it going to go 50/50? He (Mayweather) wants 70/30, there are a lot of details to be worked out and the May 5th date is a little bit soon.
"Manny had that cut in the last fight and we want that to heal properly so we were looking forward to a June date, but I think realistically for this big a fight we would have to spend more time promoting it. I don't think that's something we would want to rush."
Not trying to hijack the thread but assuming that both of them really want to get it done on May 5th with or without 40K seating available, based on their fighter/promoter contract can Pac tell Arum to go on with the date or is it always Arum's last say?
If Floyd's email is true, this is not a good sign.Quote:

here's another article re: 50/50 split
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Video: Floyd Says No to Proposed 50/50 Split | Bleacher Report
http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweathe...posal-5--48745
WTF didn't Manny say they agreed over the phone to a 50/50 split?
ARGH damn this fight to hell, the fuckin flip floppin bastards! Why must they play with my emotions? The phone call business made me think for the first time in years that the fight may go down. Back to my orignial assertion that the fight will not happen until otherwise proven beyond doubt i.e. they're both in the ring and the bell sounds :rolleyes:
Lol, this has too many twists going on. My take is that Manny, Ariza and Roach are irrelevant when it comes to negotiating the Floyd fight, Arum will do what he wants.Quote:

I also doubt Floyd is going to scupper this fight over the 50/50. Why would anyone even make it an issue? I think Arum sees that all sane people are blaming him now so has planted an alibi in the form of this email that was never sent. We'll see...
If it ain't 50/50..Pacman ain't doing it!
I thought it was different this time but once again it is just all bullsh*t from both sides. These two just spend there time playing stupid back and fourth games.
I cant be bothered any more. The fight should have happened a couple of years back any way. This sport is getting shitt*r by the day. Im sticking with UFC. I know it can be boring a lot of the time but at least the best fighters actualy fight each other.
I got tired of these back and forth negotiations ....... either they fight each other or both of them needs to retire.
We've been waiting three years. Haven't they promoted the fight enough?:rolleyes:
Apparently it's true and Floyd is demanding more of the pie..I'm VERY dissapointed in him if that is the case. Too much greed going on around this fight
Greed has ruined the greatness of boxing. Sad story, but true.:(Quote:
