According to a report, from a newspaper in the Philippines:

Pacquiao said over the weekend that he no longer minds getting the smaller share of the purse as long as he gets to face Mayweather in the ring.

Now that Manny Pacquiao has agreed to a smaller share of the prize money, there is no other choice for Floyd Mayweather but to sign his name above the dotted line.

“I can see a flickering light at the end of the tunnel,” said Pacquiao lawyer Jeng Gacal, sounding a bit upbeat that Pacquiao’s latest move would finally persuade Mayweather to agree so the fight the world wants to see would become a reality in 2012.
