twitter.com/floydmayweather It's his official twitter and i follow him and i know its the actual him. Anyway his just called Manny out heres what he wrote Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. then he wrote My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk .****in quality news and hopefully Arum will stop being a **** and let this fight happen !!!!! Hope floyd finally ends this debate over who will win by smashing manny all over the gaff.!!
Talk is cheap, his actions of negotiating with Guerrero tell you Mayweather real plans. Pacquiao called Mayweather out a couple of days ago says he has alway wanted the fight and wants to fight Mayweather in May and told Arum to make the fight happen. Mayweather just trying to save face, yet again.
According to reports in America aswell it seems Pacquiao told Arum today that the only fight he wants is Mayweather. Mayweathers up for it, Pacquiaos up for it, All down to Arum now and i doubt he can not give in, fair enough Mayweather will be running the show but the cut will still be huge for M.P, Arum and team
Na because he wouldn't post it main stream if he didn't mean it, i fully think mayweathers thinking jail time will affect him a bit and without proper training/keeping fit in proper gym facilities for 3 months it could affect him and i think he realises this fight has got to happen and he'd want to fight him while his at peak condition
Mayweather's 35, he not peak, and went on a year and half vacation when Pacquiao tried to make the fight and everything was agreed. If he is planning to announce his next opponent on Friday and has not even talked to Pacquiao or even attempted to it proves that fight was never a real prospect of happening. May 5th is a Mexican holiday, so it is and was always going to be a Mexican fighter or a fighter of Mexican descent.
How does Floyd command the bigger purse. Pacquiao had the biggest grossing fight of last year, his fighters generated twice the amount of Mayweather PPV buys. And Mayweather's card was propped up by some huge stars, Alvarez and Morales, on Mexican Independence day weekend. But even with all that he couldn't out do Pacquiao, who's undercard was poor in comparison.
No mayweathers earned much more for his fights and also holds the record for PPV buys and Mayweather v Ortiz box office sales etc beat the Pac v Marquez ones. If your going to differ with this then i'd like to see some proof
Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz generated buys from 1.25 million homes with a value of $78,440,000 in pay-per-view revenue. These numbers make the event the second highest grossing non-heavyweight pay-per-view event of all time. Mayweather has now appeared in the three biggest non-heavyweight pay-per-view events in the sport’s history, including Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya ($136,853,700), Mayweather vs. Ortiz ($78,440,000 million) and Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley ($78,330,000 million).[131]
Wrong, Pacquiao is the cash cow in boxing now. and has generated more money through PPV sales than Floyd has in their careers. http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dm-meltzer_pay_per_view_pacquiao_010412 Top 10 PPV shows of 2011 (estimated figures for Dec. 30 Lesnar vs. Overeem are not available) 1.

Ah it was the Moseley/pac fight he beat, interesting that the Marquez/Pac didn't generate as much money though, fair enough i'll give ya that one tho mate lol, not the cash cow though because it didn't generate as much money. Also not the king either considering his been knocked out like a bitch before and Marquez won that fight clearly last time and in my opinion won the 2nd one aswell, whereas floyds 42 n 0 and pissed all over Marquez, so theres only one king in boxing - Mayweather and if the fight happens then it will be proved and the debate can finally end, you can give your reasons why pac will win and i can give mine why mayweather will win but it's boring so were just wait n see lol !
Quite shocked 680 000 people would pay to watch roided up actors fart about in a wrestling ring aswell lol
Probably quite a bit, they don't have PPV over their and boxing is very popular over there, Mayweather is also a big name. Obviously nowhere near Pacquiao numbers though.
Manny will not step up and fight because he know's what will happen. His camp were caught ducking when they found out Floyd would'nt be going to jail and now Floyd has called out Manny it will be interesting to see what pitiful excuse Bob Arum can come up with this time. I don't balme them for ducking by the way it's part of the game.
Manny Pacquiao accepts Floyd Mayweather's latest challenge http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/16515328.stm
Hopefully they can get past all the red tape and just get the fight on, 50/50 on the money and let's see who's the best. Can't see it happening though, way too much politic's going on in top level boxing theese day's, that's why U.F.C is taking over.
