    Mayweather-Pacquiao: Both Sides Taking Hard Lines

    The biggest and richest fight in boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, has a very difficult path to getting done. Both sides are taking a hard line on the money. Mayweather sees no reason to split the money 50-50 with Pacquiao. Based on his past interviews, he wants at least a 60-40 split or better. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, who advises the fighter on some of business aspects during negotiations, will demand a 60-40 split in Pacquiao's favor and a catch-weight of 145-pounds. [details]

        **** that. How do you hit somebody mostly on the run. I think I'd rather watch old clips of Tom and Jerry.

          Didn't mayweather say (Brian Kenny's interview) the reason he fought Marquez instead of Mosley is because he was a bigger draw? Now his saying Marquez is nothing, so why take the fight again...?

            Less exciting? or is it because it's a fighter who will actually defend himself and not stick his chin out for Pacquiao can have some target practice?

                145 is blatanly ducking. The money is a huge problem but we know floyd will never fight at 145...roach doesnt wanna fight floyd at his best.

                    50/50, 147, $15 million bonus to the winner. If either one of them cries about that, I don't believe they want the fight.
