On Monday, Pacquiao ran 3.2km and shadow-boxed for two rounds, followed by abdominal work and a breakfast of steamed rice, scrambled egg, fish and chicken broth.
Then he napped until noon and had lunch before heading to trainer Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym, which is strictly off-limits to fans and media during Pacquiao's sessions.
"I will prepare hard for this fight to give the boxing fans the kind of entertainment they want. This is what I consider the real fight of my life," said the 36-year-old.

"It's just gratifying to know that this fight is finally taking place...we must demand the best fighting the best...I really do feel that Mayweather and Pacquiao still have a lot left in the tank to make it a really good fight...I really do feel that Pacquiao can do some damage to Mayweather," stated Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya, who shared his thoughts on the highly-anticipated May 2 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Freddie Roach has had a plan for 5 years. It's a secret and he may shut down access to camp to keep it that way




"It has changed a bit because both fighters have changed," Roach said. "But most of it is still intact."
"I know exactly what I want Manny to do," he stressed. "When I go home to training camp, we'll start working on it."
Roach has no plans of revealing what that game plan is, however, and even says that he plans to shut down the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles while Pacquiao is training there.
"I won't tell you what the game plan is, because that will be very silent," he said. "The whole Wild Card Gym will be shut down."
"We will work out Manny's best strategy, and nobody will watch it," he stressed. "The cameras are only allowed after sparring and after mitts."

It's all about the Money,Money,Money





























$300 Million ?

"Mayweather and Pacquiao who have agreed to a 60-40 split could be laughing all the way to the bank after the 'Fight of the Century'.

Arum is predicting a "$300 million distribution" which mean Mayweather will get $180m and Pacquiao $120m, up from the earlier projections of a $200 million Super Fight.

"We are looking at four to five million (PPV) buys," says Arum."

Good thread @Greenbeanz

Infact can a mod make this a sticky then members can just post all things relevant to Pac v Floyd in one thread or this main board will just be awash with threads on the subject...?

Snip...

$300 Million ?

"Mayweather and Pacquiao who have agreed to a 60-40 split could be laughing all the way to the bank after the 'Fight of the Century'.

The 60-40 split has a small wrinkle, Arum said. For revenue between $160 million and $180 million, the winner of the fight will get 51 percent ($10.2 million), Arum said, with the loser taking 49 percent ($9.8 million).

Revenue below and above that window will be divided, 60-40, in Mayweather’s favor, Arum said. Ellerbe would not confirm or deny the breakdown, citing confidentiality.

Those first 160-180 numbers don't make much sence. As they highlight a 10.2 and 9.8 million dollar split for winner Vs loser. Who the hell is getting the bulk of that money? Maybe they missed a "0"
