Manny Pacquiao: “I Will Fight Floyd Mayweather Next Year”
The fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is on, at least if it's is up to Manny Pacquiao.
The boxer recently appeared at the Sofitel Hotel in Manilla with promoter Peter Maniatis and was quoted as saying, “I will fight Mayweather next year,” according to Digital Journal.
The two fighters have reportedly ironed out all the wrinkles that have kept the fight from taking place for the last two years including money negotiations and drug testing stipulations.
Mayweather has reportedly agreed to split the purse 50/50 with the Filipino congressman, while Manny was will now adhere to Mayweather's strict drug testing requests.
Both men must first take care of business in the fights they have taking place later on this year.
Mayweather is scheduled to take on Victor Ortiz on September 17 and Manny will battle with Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12.
I hope its true, I guess its better late than never! Lets get it on!!!!
Very interesting that Pacquiao says this, when next year Floyd will be 35 years of age and most likely conisderbly slowler than he once was.
Floyd has been dodging since late 2009.
Now Pacquiao gets the blame for Floyd ducking him.
Is there fluoride in the water where you live?

oh now its PAC fault for Floyd's recent vacations and wasting his boxing years? And for me while Floyd is older, he's much more fresher with less damage compare to PAC.
