If Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao decide to come together to negotiate a possible fight - Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya says it's Mayweather who will dictate the terms of the fight. The two boxers tried to make a deal earlier this year. They agreed to a 50-50 split on the money and the two appeared to be in agreement on just about everything else - except the terms for the random Olympic-style drug tests.
If they come together to negotiate for a second time, Mayweather will probably not agree to a 50-50 split on the money, and he won't agree to a cut-off deadline being in place for the random drug testing.
De Le Hoya told The Grand Rapids Press that Mayweather is now the "one to dictate terms" because of his record, the impressive win over Mosley and his cross-over superstar status.
"Mayweather is the king of the world now," De La Hoya said.
If Mayweather and Pacquiao meet in the ring, De La Hoya says the Filipino champion makes a lot of mistakes and Mayweather will make him pay for them.
"Being a student of the game, Pacquiao makes many mistakes," De La Hoya said. "And that will fall into Mayweather’s hands -- easy. It’ll be an entertaining fight, let me tell you, because there’s no stop in Pacquiao, there’s no quit in Pacquiao, that’s for sure."
