    Can Mayweather an Pacquiao come to an agreement

    With a fight of this magnitude there is always bound to be problems on the table

    first off arum and floyd despise each other and have both criticized each other over the last few years

    second it seems neither will accept a 50-50 split of the purse...maybe they should go down the hopkins-jones route and have 50-50 split with 60-40 in case of a knockout

    third they will have to come to some sort of agreement on things like rig size gloves weight etc

    also were would you guys like to see this fight staged ?

    im sick of the mgm grand and mandalay bay for every big fight

    why not use a stadium that holds 40plus thousand instead

    Big Money = They will fight. If they had to meet @ 250 lbs, in a covered wagon on the prairie they will do it.

      this fight ain't happening. both think they are the top dog. only way this fight happens is if pac loses to cotto or pbf loses to someone else.

      yes, pbf WILL fight pac even if he loses to cotto. floyd don't care what you fans think

          i think the fight is gonna happen, to much $$$$$$$ involve in this fight

          mayweather needs money because of his extravagant lifestyle and 15m per bout wouldnt suffice that.....

          meanwhile pac is good with money, he even avoid tax by not training in the US.....



          so if the negotation is under way, the one who needs this fight is floyd

          floyd only has 3 choices left, pac, mosley and cotto.
          and if im floyd who would i choose?
          pacman = smaller, biggest money fight out there
          mosley = bigger, stronger, not a draw
          cotto = bigger,stonger, slightly a better draw than mosley
          calderon = smaller than pac, bigger draw than cotto but not bigger draw than pac.

            and cotto - pac would never affect on this fight being made

            if pac lose its gonna be 65-35
            if pac wins its gonna be 50 -50

              That's easy:

              Because the incrementality of the additional cheap seats doesn't cover the casino site fee.

                .
                I disagree.

                Tell me what Pac's options are for big fights after Cotto. Thanks in advance.

                Floyd has bigger options.

                  its not about options. pac has enough money to last him 4 lifetimes in the PI. he don't need floyd and he don't need the money.

                  floyd has all kinds of financial troubles with his extravagant lifestyle. therefore floyd needs pac. pac don't need floyd.

                  therefore 50/50 or it doesn't happen

                    they will definately have bigger option, literally... if they dont fight

                    floyds easiest fight would be pac, this also applies for pac because mosley is bigger than floyd
