Mayweather vs Pacquiao Eyed For March 13, 2010?

[gancho_al_igado]

A deal similar to Hopkins/RJJ would be fair for these two. Man, i get wood just thinking about this fight.....3 million ppv buys and 30 million at the gate

[Kris Silver]

I actually on past form, see both being too stubborn and the fight not coming off as well.

Would be a real low for boxing. I just can't see who will compromise, because team Hatton were patient and it was largely Arum making sacrifices that got it done. This time around Floyd won't be so patient or tolerant, and the same vice versa.

[Ray*]

Mayweather deserves 60% but he may have to settle for the sake of the fans and his resume.

I hope everyone shows Floyd due props if he conceeds in negotiations

Mayweather has never had any trouble in negotiation from most of his fights, He did with De la hoya and he didnt with Hatton, Pacman on the other hand seem to have troubles coming to terms with De la hoya and Hatton so that should tell us something.

step aside fee

Arum should just pay cotto the step a side fee so pacman can train for floyd. Arum's sucks balls

[Pullcounter]

Mayweather should give up some guarantee in exchange for the back-end. Hollywood-style.

Let Pac have the ego satisfaction of the announced number, and Floyd takes the bigger cut of the PPV's.

Also, GBP should muscle TR at the table.

GBP can make Floyd-Shane as a back-up. There is no fight that Top Rank can pull together which is as big as Floyd-Shane.

Pac don't need floyd, he can fight a retirement fight against anyone and leave boxing forever. he's comfy in the PI.

floyd needs pac for the payday. floyd must concede 50/50.

floyd will never make the same deal the hopkins/rjj has... floyd didn't even try to KO jmm.

Pacquiao doesn't need Arum. If Pacquiao wants to make that serious paper and he isn't, he knows why.

Mayweather did 1mill+ PPV Buys against Marquez and your gonna say he needs Pacquiao?

1st of all, arum saying this is totally disrespectful of miguel cotto & just has bad karma written all over it for pacquiao & company.

2nd. even if they agree to terms with the money, guess what, sticking point number 2, what weight will they fight in?

Only way pacquiao can rightly ask for a 50-50 deal is if pac vs cotto does better than numero uno. If it fails to reach a million, pac has to swallow his pride & take the lesser %.

But if pac vs cotto does better than numero uno, significantly better, then this fight will be headed for harder negotiations than a israeli/*********** peace deal & more than likely not be made.

[Allucard]

If TRUE .... It would be the most disgusting display of greed in the history of the sport. A fight of this magnatude has the potential to do unheard of PPV numbers and to let it slip through because one or the other guy wants 60 to 40 is just plain crazy.

Split it all right down the middle or winner gets 60%, loser gets 40%.

Make it happen.

I have a gut feeling had Pacquiao's numbers been greater than Floyd's with the same opponents they would be saying "Floyd should take 40% or nothing because Pacquiao is the draw" So **** 50-50 and **** Arum.

MARKET LAWS STILL APPLY. So it's Pacquiao and ******ed Arum who should take 40 and STFU.

[Syf]

I agree that they should not be looking passed Coto...

what overconfidence...What happened to honing in on the one fight ahead of you like it could be the end? Looking ahead does not keep one's edge honed
