FIGHTHYPE \\ GOLDEN BOY GIVEN GREEN LIGHT TO BEGIN MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO NEGOTIATIONS


Has to be 50/50 HBO are also saying early signs that Pac/Cotto did more buys than Mayweather/Marquez.

[rjj tszyu]

More good news. I like the Mayweather Snr talk too lol "When it's time for us to fight, I'm going to show you all who the master is". I think he wants revenge on Roach as much as Floyd Jnr wants to beat Pac.

I'm getting excited about this now, I just hope it all goes through without any problems!

[Cressa121]

Its a good sign if Mayweather wants the fight. I don't really care who gets what percentage, as long as the fight gets made, but i just hope that neither man gets too greedy and prevents what would be one of the biggest fights of all time from happening

[0james0]

Why don't they make it interesting and say the winner gets a 70/30 split. Put your wallet where your mouth is

[JT Rock]

This is an Awesome sign and further tells me that Mayweather is anxious to beat Pac, him and his father must see the stylistic matchup overwhelmingly in their favor... Well that and the bizillion dollar payday

2 things I take exception to at the end of the article

1) that Floyd should be lucky to get 50/50

2) That Pac is the bigger draw if the numbers exceed PBF/JMM, which is completely idiotic seeing that Cotto is a wildly popular fighter and JMM has never been a draw, so the majority of the success was do to Floyd.

Im not to sure he should be lucky, but I tell you one thing Id put my house on it that Pac would now after that performance would beat Mayweather in PPV numbers if they fought the same fighter.

For me Pac is the biggest star in boxing rite now not Mayweather.

[paddy448]

we will only no after the official numbers are revealed wether pac cotto did more than floyd marquez. i think it should be a staight up 50 50 split regardless cause niether fighter will want too give up there ego.plus a 50 50 split for both fighters is better than a 90 10 split for any other match out there. i believe this fight will happen, it has too

That I will agree with, but Floyd is the best!

[piye]

Wow, I still think Floyd deserves more considering his dominating numbers against common opponents but it doesnt matter so long as this fight happens.

[Kel]

Do you really think Floyd will fight Pac? I don't think Floyd has the bollocks frankly, he won't fight guys like Williams or Mosley(his fans will probably say they are not popular enough "cough marquez") so why would he fight Pac?

He will just demand more cash or carry on this "I won't work with Arum shit" just you wait and see.

There's no way he can do that without having his reputation torn apart though. At this point, in terms of legacy, Mayweather needs Pacquiao much more than Pacquiao needs him. Pacquiao has established himself as an all-time great and if Mayweather wants the honor of being considered the greatest of his generation, he'll have to fight Pacquiao. If Mayweather refuses any reasonable offer from the Pacquiao camp his reputation and legacy will be in tatters.

You're wrong dude. This fight will happen, mark my words. Didn't you see the other thread where Floyd already initiated negotiations? I'm not a big fan of Floyd, but to say he is scared of Manny is ridiculous. The money is tto big, and the hype is also. This is exactly the type of fight he is looking for, and he will win it too.

[Jesse James]

Also, you know it's just driving Floyd crazy to hear everybody calling manny the best fighter in the world.

I see the speed being a huge issue for Floyd, if Zab can win rounds againsed him I have no reason to think Manny can't do it for an entire fight.

If it happens it will be fucking MAHOOSIVE, but I seen a quote on Roger saying "lil Floyd would whup him, but he should not fight him"

[THE THIRD MAN]

Floyd will fight Manny next, it is a dead set certainty. Pacman is now universally recognised as the best PFP fighter in the world, it must be eating the pretty boy up inside. March or April 2010 we will really see how good PBF is, stylistically Pacquaio is a nightmare for Floyd, theoretically is shouldn't be, but Pacquaio is no ordinary slugger. He is awkward, very fast and has power in both hands. Pac got hit in this fight and was hurt, his ear looked bad and i didn't like his swollen hand, (has he broken it?) In any case a Floyd V Pacman fight will be the event of the year in 2010
