MANILA, Philippines — The ball is now in Floyd Mayweather’s court.
Manny Pacquiao said from his home in General Santos City that he is going the extra mile in making sure the proposed super fight with the brash and unbeaten American fighter finally happens in 2012.
Pacquiao is willing to take the smaller piece of the pie as long as the dream fight takes place.
“Walang problema kahit pa mas maliit ang premyo ko,” said Pacquiao, who turned 33 on Saturday. “Ang importante ay matuloy lang ang laban.”
Pacquiao’s pronouncement that he is giving Mayweather the lion’s share of the pot only puts credence that he is moving heaven and earth to make it happen.
The subject of random blood testing is apparently a non-issue now since Arum had mentioned many times in the past month or so that Pacquiao has agreed to Mayweather’s demands.
Arum is arriving in Manila in the first week of January to discuss Pacquiao’s future.
On their radar screen of course is Mayweather and a few other guys in case the fight the world is aching to see doesn’t materialize.
Arum is looking at a fourth fight between Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, while waiting on the wings are undefeated Tim Bradley and even Miguel Cotto, who is hot on the comeback trail.
The target date for the Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown is May 2012.
Marquez has also expressed his willingness to rumble with Pacquiao again, saying that he might just hang up his gloves in case a fourth match with his rival is shelved.
Bradley also wants a piece of Pacquiao owing to the fortune that such a fight would bring.
Cotto, who lost to Pacquiao on a 12th-round stoppage two years ago, has also expressed his desire to be given a shot at payback most specially that he has a new set of trainers.
Ringsiders are of the belief that Pacquiao decided to take a smaller percentage of the revenue knowing that he has a solid shot at dealing Mayweather his first loss.
Inflicting Mayweather his first defeat, according to them, would compensate Pacquiao's take-home pay.
if floyd GAYweather still ducks Pac , then let it be known that he is the biggest ducker of ALL TIME.......COWARD!
How can he be a ducker if he turns around and fights a fighter pac is afraid to fight without a ridiculous catch weight?
floyd fans won't let floyd take 50/50. they want the bigger split for their father. that's how they treat floyd. they've acted as if they're floyd's sons and daughters and they'll be given their share of the money. dickriding at it's height. you'll never see fans as fanatical as floyd's fanboys.
not me. fights in the ring are all i want to see and don't have any interest in how much money these boxers make. in the end all these boxers will get old just like everyone else. floyd fanboys behave as if they'll be joining floyd when he retires. what a bunch of clowns.
:bigeyes:
Upset Floyd is gonna start making all you shiit talking pactards look like clowns here real soon?
floyd screwed himself with this testing non sense. here is pac looking more and more beatable every fight and floyd can't drop his testing demands or else he'll look like fraud. he must be kicking himself everyday.
i don't get it. floyd apologists have been fighting tooth and nail to get their idol the bigger split he wants. here is the midget from asia saying he will take a smaller split just to make the fight happen. i can't find anything wrong with that. floyd and his fanboys are like silly little girls who don't know what they want.
:bigeyes:
oh you do?!
so which one is it then? take the test or its only arum standing in the way of the fight. way to contradict yourself!
i also find it pretty funny that mayweather didnt ask nobody for extra testing before an 8 time champion came along. hmmmmm........
lol u still mad mayweather flattened hatton
who believes this ****??? only manny and his fans. thats why u guys are perfect for each other. u guys believe whatever you are told by arum and his goonies. lol, i find it funny and sad at the same time, but hey, lemmings will be lemmings.
i agree^^^^^^

Another Bob Arum ducking technique.
Duck but make yourself look like the victim.
How many times has he pulled similar sh1t like this?
"Ohh look! we reeaaaaalllllllly want the fight. look look he must be ducking us"
LOl the dummies will fall for it and they will keep blaming Floyd as Bob likes it.
Bob Arums logic: "I keep milking and hyping Manny by ducking and smearing Floyd, making it look like he's scared Win-Win"
Bob Arum is one the slimiest piece of sh1t on earth
is never been about money, TAKE THE F*****G TEST!!, but now is irrelevant because we all know Fraud will wipe the floor with PAcroid
S.m.h at this sh*t take the fukking odst it's never been about the money get your boy arum to make the fukking fight
if it was about testing then the fight would have happened already..
pacquiao has said on numerous occasions he would take the test.
so don't start with that bullsh!t
