At the post-fight press conference following his grueling victory over Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather addressed the possibility of a fight with Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao in the future.

Having come away with some bumps and bruises from his battle with Cotto, Mayweather vented a bit of frustration towards the media for being tricked into what is really taking place behind the scenes. [Click Here To Read More]

Gotta love how he keeps bringing up OSDT when it's a non issue.

Bob Arum and Floyd just don't want to do business with each other.

What the **** is he talking about! It is not Arum or Pacquiao that is offering a flat fee of 40 mil no and ppv upside to Pac and he is saying its Arum that is the problem.

He didn't mention anything that would support his accusation.

Arum kept on making excuses to not make the fight,first is "Manny`s cut wont heal in time,then its "i gotta build a stadium".

And Floyd is right about Pacquiao not deserving 50/50 and Pacquiao not doing Floyd numbers.Floyd promotes his own fights and spend a minimum of 10 mil to finance his own fights so Floyd takes a risk financially;while Pacquiao has a promoter which means that promoter funds his fights,so even if pacquiao sold an equal amunt of PPV Floyd would still make more cause he finances his fights so there is no way in hell Pacquaio deserves 50 percent.I would lose respect for Floyd if he gave Pacquiao 50 percent.Don`t be a sucka Floyd,some of the boxing fans are just ignorant.

maybe im still feeling the patron shots...... but does canelo beat floyd now...........boxingscene nation floyd isnt the floyd from years ago. hes def not in his prime anymore. ortiz's lame ass has his moments against him and cotto did damage tonight. floyds reign at #1 pfp is over. tim bradley prolly beats manny 2......i call it by the end of the year andre ward is atop the pfp list like it or not

Didn't Pacquiao offer 50/50 and Mayweather turned him down? It sure wasn't Arum.

But then other things come into play such as Bob Arum's stadium and Pacquiao's mysterious cut that takes 6 months to heal.

what a damn shame, these fools should be on their third fight right now. they keep saying they wanna give the fans what they wanna see and continue NOT to fight each other. both get blame, floyd for his random test demand which was never a concern for him until it was time to fight pacquiao. and manny gets blame for avoiding the test for 2 years just fueling the suspicion from floyd making him really not wanna fight him.

too much ego and bad blood involved here, we gon have to live with the fact this fight wont happen. now floyd telling manny that he only deserves 40mill in a fight that will generate way more is disrespectful,and he wants to keep the rest plus all of the profit from ppv sales,thats too much right there, maybe its just a negotiation move.

but boxing must go on, give me these fights

Canelo Vs Cotto
Ward Vs Dawson
Mayweather Vs Martinez
Pacquiao Vs Marquez IV

More and more people are getting sick of this guy. He knows that fight can only happen if it's 50/50. And he wants like 80/20. Why can't they just leave this guy alone and move on?

But I don't blame him for avoiding Pac at all costs.
