      We know Arum will not want to pay him. His only other options would be to fight Ricky again or perhaps Berto or Williams. Ricky is the only non Arum option that has some potential big money.
      Dean do you understand how boxing Money works..?

      Arum is not Paying Mayweather anything...
      The Network is, and in that case HBO...

      Let's say HBO put's up 30 million for this fight...

      Then Bob Arum and Al Haymon (Mayweather Manager)
      would negotiate the split.

      and Most likely since Mayweather has sold more P.P.V than Pacquaio and is undefeated,,, Mayweather would walk away with a Minimum of a 55-45 split...

      Which would mean
      16.5 million For Mayweather
      13.5 million for Pacquaio

      Now if Mayweather said 58-42 Which I think He would and is going to do at first negotiating meeting.

      the split would be
      17.4 Million for Mayweather
      and
      12.6 Million for Pacquaio (Pacquaio Highest Payday)

      And that is guaranteed money...(without the earnings from the P.P.V)

      So Only Thing Arum Controls is how Much Money is he going to take away from Pacquaio from that split.... Because other than that thats all Arum controls...

        at Arum point of view this fight will happen ...

        Pac has said he will fight 3 more times, aside from the Hatton Fight the other only Mega Fight is with the comebacking? PBF

        50-50 is best deal for both! this is also the reason I want to see PAC-Hatton First ...

                      You are trying to make an excuse for a so-called "weight-drained, out-of-prime" ODLH am I correct? As I watch the replay of this fight, it didn't look like ODLH was a weakling trying to peck away at the Pacman at the beginning of the fight. You can clearly see that he was throwing hard shots in an effort to knockout the Pacman. "Weight-drained"? Are you kidding me? As the fight goes on, the Pacman is clearly battering ODLH's head to the point of making him dizzy, disoriented, or whatever. Can you agree with me that in this fight, ODLH was utterly bewildered by the hard pounding he was receiving?

                      Since only fighters would know this but one could only guess that being hit that hard and that often would definitely take a lot out of you. This "weight-drained, past prime" excuse you give holds no credence in my opinion. The punishment the Pacman had inflicted on him took its toll and even zapped ODLH willingness to retaliated. ODLH looked helpless, totally bewildered but he did not want to quit on his own. His pride kept him from doing that. Only the corner people convinced him it was over. The Pacman was too good for him.
