According to reports out of the Philippines, undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather and 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao had a phone conversation some time in the early hours of the morning regarding a proposed May 5 showdown. Pacquiao revealed the news to ABS-CBN's Dyan Castillejo, telling her that he informed Mayweather that he had no problems facing him on any date so long as he was guaranteed a 50/50 split of the revenue. read more

I wouldn't hold my breath. Marquez confronted Pac in the Philippines after their second fight, and Pac also responded to that challenge by saying he'd fight him "anytime, anywhere", however, it took over three years of Marquez publicly calling him out before Pac finally agreed to itknow why? it's bcoz of marquez silly demands

Don't be silly. Anytime or "shmenitime", the fight still nedds to be negotiated. There are hundreds of items to be covered by a negotiated contract.
They had it down to 1 issue 2 yrs ago which has now been accepted , the actual contract is a formality that will signed very quickly if Bob wants the fight , you can see that the fighters are pushing to get it made ,,,,
Floyd has pushed this fight like nobody has done before ,, now he is even phoning Pac , for Christ sake get behind the fight being made instead of supporting all these Bob the builder reasons why it cant happen , the man dont want Floyd to beat Pac until its Pacs last fight , Floyd is too dangerous for Bob and always has been .
pretty sure bob arum didnt expect a phone call to happen between them...
words are key in how you speak in court and sometimes the words that are use determine the case, any lawyer knows that and bob arum will know that and be pissed the minute he hears pacquiao said .."anytime"

I told you guys the fight is gonna happen. It's already signed.
They were probably talking about the rematch taking place next year at Wrestlemania 29.
And then you woke up

50-50 has alway been the agreement between this two from the start so am not even surprise he was told that, Am sure Mayweather probably rang Pac up to reassure him that he would do the fight for 50-50 oppose to whatever Arum is telling Pac (Arum Probably told Pac Mayweather wanted 65%)..
50/50 is fine by me i dont get interested in fighters purses anyway but i was under the impression Pacquaio just came out and said he would take the lesser split in order to push the fight forward even though as far as i was aware 50/50 was the deal.
TEAM Pacquaio has released a ton of contradictive drivel over the last year so its nice to hear Manny himself stand up and push for it
For the first time in a good while i feel like this fight could actually happen....
The fans are putting pressure on Manny, even mainstream tv is turning on him and he hasn't enjoyed it, not one bit.
Pride will force Manny to stand up and DEMAND this fight from Bob
And by saying ANYTIME he makes May 5th seem very possible. Then again he know wants 50/50 and before claimed he would take the lesser share of the purse....among other tripe

This is getting very confusing.
There is no confusion here to be honest, Pacquiao himself wants the fight, Mayweather wants the fight, the problem is and has only been Arum, All the text and press releases that was release on behalf of Pac was just done by Knocz and Arum, The problem is they are making Pac look like a beetch and dragging his legacy through the mud.

Spoke to Leonard Ellerbe, Floyd's manager: Floyd called Manny last night and discussed the fight. Conversation private between the guys.
