Richard Schaefer Latest On Mayweather vs Pacquiao

That's the problem, they both want the 60. Catch weight is not a big deal on this negotiation. I hope they both settle for 50/50 winner get additional bonus.

that's why floyd needs to be reasonable w/ the demands if he wants the fight.

Oh don't get me wrong the fight definitely needs to be a 50/50 split or something where the winner get's an additional percentage. What I was saying is that floyd is not the only one being unreasonable. As far as we know he's just asking for the bigger slice of the pie. Team Pacquiao is asking for the bigger slice and a catchweight. So far that camp appears to be making the steeper demands.

Bob Arum will be the reason this fight falls through then they will put the blame on Mayweather. Arum was the reason the Hatton-Pacquiao fight nearly went **** up.

This fight should be 60-40 in Floyd's favor and no less than 55-45 floyd. The PPV stats point to floyd, the length of dominance belongs to Floyd, attendance $$$ to fights belongs to Floyd. everything favors Floyd so should the lion share of the $$$

manny is the ww champ and he should defend that at 147,i always hear people slagging off pbf for not fighting true ww,so whats mannys excuse gonna be or dont you care because its manny

I've been saying that all along...heck, that belt shouldn't even have been on the line for the Cotto fight...145...getthe****outtahe

It was okay that they had a catchweight of 144lbs vs JMM but it's not okay now. Why is that?

Because is a legit welterweight...no more hiding behind the "He's the little guy from light-weight" argument. Time to step up and quit the draining tactics...nobody is buying anymore.

It's official. Floyd and his team are the one's calling PAC out. Be careful what you wish for. He he he...

Organising a deal is not calling out.
Mayweather made an offer to Marquez so what does that mean?
Oscar DelaHoya did the same with Pacquiao
Mayweather reached out to Hatton
Mayweather reached out to Sharmba Mitchell,so basically nothing new.All they do us offer Manny some money.That's why the other time DelaHoya-Manny was difficult to do because Manny wouldnt agree with DelaHoya's offer.Still who was the cash king in that?

"I'm currently having conversations with Team Mayweather.. once we know the kind of deal structure we'll be willing to do, I'll then reach out to Pacquiao's people and see if we can put the deal together.."

My theory is that negotiations aren't that complicated. I'm hoping they're just doing all this just to generate more interest and demand for the fight. Holding out a fight like this only makes fans want it more...

They might give the impression that the negotiations have fallen through, the fight's off.. and then they'll recover it later on. This part of the process can sometimes be pure theatre and for a match up this big I wouldn't be surprised..
