The fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather was getting closer to happening before the Filipino boxer rejected Mayweather’s latest offer Tuesday calling it “embarrassing.”
The discrepancy was over money and it is just the latest issue that has held this fight back from happening.
“It was embarrassing to me,” Pacquiao said. “He was trying to take advantage of me. It is clear he didn’t want to fight.”
Pacquiao said that he personally reached out to Mayweather to arrange the fight and even thought that they had an agreement. Pacquiao realized that there was no agreement on the table when Mayweather brought up the pay per view.
Mayweather wanted to give Pacquiao a $40 million lump sum but wanted the pay per view earnings all for himself. Many believe that the pay per view earnings could be as much as $160 million.
“I called Floyd and told him that we need to make this fight happen,” Pacquaio said. “I said we could have whatever he wants, blood testing, 50/50 split and he said ‘Oh, well. I will give you what you want.’ Then he mentioned the pay per view.”
In the mean time, both Pacquiao and Mayweather have been scheduling other opponents as the two sides try to reach an agreement for their possible mega fight. Both fighters will next fight at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas when Mayweather takes on Miguel Cotto on May 5 and Pacquiao faces Timothy Bradley on June 9.
Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach says that his fighter is not looking past Bradley, but admits the possibilities and rumors of a meeting with Mayweather are very exciting.
“If both (Pacquiao and Mayweather) come off with good wins it will be a step in the right direction,” Roach said. “That is the match everyone in the world wants to see.”
Although this may not be the fight he wants, Roach knows that Pacquiao must take care of business against Bradley and expects his fighter to win.
“I don’t want him to be compassionate,” Roach said. “I want him to knock people out. Manny can’t be a nice guy and try to touch gloves in the ring with him. It is nice to fight a fighter who is undefeated and not worried about losing that 0 on his record.”

Forget how bad floyd is socially, yeh he is a dickhead, but put him in the ring, and he'll flogg anyone.
Enough said.
Pacquiao obviously wants the fight and is game at offering a fair split (and further agrees to ALL other demands from Mayweather, i.e. testing, venue, date, etc). This is one fight that should be split down the line 50/50. No one deserves more than the other here. So cut the BS Floyd and fight Manny Pacquiao!!!
