According to a report in ABS-CBN News, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will not budge any further to any demands made by Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao spoke with the paper upon his arrival to Manila and said negotiations for a Mayweather fight are ongoing, but he is unsure as to the status until he speak with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum.
Pacquiao recently agreed to Mayweather's previous demand for a random drug testing protocol. The Filipino champ is willing to get tested up until 14-days before the fight date; a Mayweather demand that he previously turned down earlier this year. Pacquiao told the paper that his decision on the issue of random drug testing would be the "last wish from the Mayweather camp that he would grant."
Pacquiao is also sticking to his guns on the previously agreed terms for a 50/50 split on the money. There has been talk that Mayweather wants a bigger split of the money. Rumors suggest Mayweather wants a 60-40 split. Pacquiao has said in several recent interviews that he won't go forward with the fight if Mayweather continues to demand a bigger piece of the money. Mayweather believes he deserves more money because of the 1.4 million pay-per-view buys that were generated from his fight against Shane Mosley on May 1.
