The doors are not yet closed folks!
I just saw it at our daily local sports show here at the philippines. Arum is planning to talk to the hoya camp for a possible 65-35 split on the fight purse, instead of the 70-30 fight purse as proposed by hoya camp and the 60-40 of team pacquiao. Meanwhile, to prove to the people that he is not interested in money as the reason on pushing this fight, roach said on a radio interview ( as shown also on that same sports show ) that he is willing to give away 10% of his trainer's fee to pac. He said soto is undrawable and if compared to the hoya fight, it will be a megabuck fight for both camps, and a dream fight for fight fans as well.
On the otherhand, wakee salud, a known local promoter and best friend of pac, is willing to talk to pac to agree in the 65-35 share. If both camps agree, since it's only the purse that both camps seems to be arguing about ( there is already a venue: mgm, the date: which is dec., they now agreed on the 8 0z gloves, hoya agreed to make 147) we might get to see that this fight would be made after all.

The magic number is: 65-35. If negotiations still fails, then arum goes back to the back up plan: wbc 135 pnds.title defense against soto.
