Mayweather-Pacquiao: Arum Blows off Floyd's Demand

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says he has “never seen a better Manny Pacquiao” as the Filipino boxing hero prepares for his showdown against Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2. [details]

Looks like it'll be Mayweather vs Marquez and Pacquiao vs Cotto.

Hopefully the winners fight each other.

that bull if the fight happend it should be 55-45 in favor of manny since he is p4p #1 but 65 is ridiculous

Arum's constipated

Arum is nonsense, of course Floyd should get the lion's share. Did Manny do 2.4 million when he fought Oscar, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ray*]

Who cares???? Pacman/Hatton is happening and its the fight that all party needs to focus on. Worry about a Mayweather fight or what percent and who gets it later.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

I giuarantee that Cotto gets atleast 40%, he aint dumb.

Pac Should get 60% against a guy like Cotto, 65% agaisnt guys like Mosley and JMM, and 55% against a guy like Floyd.

No way, FLoyd will settle for 35%, thats absurd and ridiculous!!!!

This is just a negotiation ploy so that Floyd can lower his expectations.Arum Knows Floyd will get the lion's share.

Pacman couldnt knock out Marquez,Floyd will decimate Marquez then go on to get the lion's share

Floyd won't take 35%, that's for sure. I don't disagree that Floyd isn't the attraction, but he is still an attraction and 35 seems almost like a slap in the face. 50-50 I'd say.

And Floyd's ego still won't accept that. I'm pretty convinced the fight won't happen, even if this is just a ploy. I do agree with others and have seen some vids of Pac recently training. He's just looking unstoppable and I'm not convinced that Floyd's expert defense can't defend against it. Manny isn't bull headed like Hatton that's for sure. There is precision with his shots.

We'll see
