Pacquiao vs Mayweather may not happen

I don't care how noble you may think someone is, another 30-40 million is enough to get anyone to train for 6 months and fight.

That's 1.4 Billion Pesos, that money could go a long way in fixing the infrastructure of the Phillipines.

That might build a bridge over a small river. But yea in the Philippines using the real cost you might get 50 miles of a two lane road. Corruption cost, you might get 10 miles.

I agree the smart thing would be to meet and work out a deal. $30 million is a lot of f*n money.

After the money he could make from the Mayweather fight he might consider buying the Philippines and be ruler of it.

LOL. Even if Pac earns $200 million in his fight with Mayweather, he won't be able to buy even 1/1000 of the Philippines.LOL.

FYI, our politicians in the Philippines are earning $300 million in just one major transaction (e.g. NBN ZTE deal). LOL.

Conclusion: Politicians in the Philippines are very corrupt and Pacquaio is trying to be one.

Pacquaio should stay in boxing and if he doesn't want to fight anymore, I hope he retires and not join politics.

LOL. 1.4 billion pesos will not go a long way in the Philippines. More than 50% of it will be corrupted. I know. I'm an accountant.

It's only greed (concerning both sides) that is stopping it from happening.

Earlier in the year it was Mayweather who was demanding too much in the form of a 60/40 split. Now Pacquiao's camp is not only expecting the 60/40, but also wanting a ridiculous catch weight (again).
If I were Manny or Floyd I would push for the fight be at 146 with 50/50 split or winner-take-all... but alas, I'm just a fan who wants the corruption and politics in boxing to dissipate.. (I don't think that'll happen any time soon )
