Pacquiao: "I'm Fighting Mayweather in May 2012"

[The Big Dunn]

Huh? lol, ok I guess if you really believe that's how Manny feels, then we can't convince you otherwise.



I get that Manny has alot of sponsorships, owns alot of stores and products in the Philippines as well, I get all that. I only brought up him making less money than Floyd in terms of PPV. Just pointing out that Manny doesn't really care about it.

Its not a diss. I think we all have "professional jealousy". If i seea guy making $8/hr making fries at Mcdonalds and I'm only getting $7.15 Ima be a lil jealous.

[bojangles1987]

Yeah. Until Pacquiao-Marquez is over and some new issue pops up, and both sides start blaming one another again.

[AeKhuban]

Question - should Mayweather Jr sue ESPN for calling him a coward?

The question is irrelevant also the lawsuit will not prevent Floyd to fight. Ask Floyd and Victor Ortiz

no worries, I don't see it as a diss at all. I'm just letting you know my pov living in both the Philippines and the US.

If I make $7.15 and another is making $8, BUT I have the advantage of spending my money in the Philippines because I live there-where I can use that entire $7.15, for example, to treat 5 of my friends to lunch. In the meantime, that guy making $8 has to spend it here in the US, how much can he buy for $8?

So it really depends where you're going to spend your money on. Now, if Pac was American and he has to spend his money here coz he lives here, then that's a different story.

[AeKhuban]

Can you give me an example of when a boxing fight took place whilst a lawsuit between both parties was in tow?

I don't think you'll find any.

Just tell Mayweather not to duck court orders. Cooperate and it will be settled before May 2012.

I see your point. But I want equal pay for equal work. I sound like a damn feminist.

Manny earn less because he pay taxes and other obligation. His business is legal. Tax is percentage not exact amount. The bigger you earn the more taxes. If you can read also on Jinkie's interview on Philippine magazine. I think Manny only get around 30% of the purse according to her. That was after the deductions of training fee percentage and other expenses. I don't know what can a single dollar could buy in US but in the Philippines a single dollar can buy a lunch with drinks. Actually cheaper if you are near Universities in Manila.

How many times have we heard this before? Then on JMM-Paq 247 K****z would tell us Paq only agreed to 4 days etc..

Pacman vs Floyd Jr. in May?

MANILA, Philippines — Unless Victor Ortiz and Juan Manuel Marquez don’t follow the script that will be laid out in September and November, the mouth-watering match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will happen in May 2012.

Pacquiao graced the birthday of TV boxing analyst Moy Lainez on Wednesday night and told Lainez that all signs point to a super fight between him and Mayweather next year.

“He told me that the Mayweather fight will take place in May next year,” Lainez said.

Lainez, thrilled with the news, told Pacquiao that even if he is not feeling well that he will fly to the US just to watch the action at ringside.

“I told Manny na kahit ako’y may sakit sa time na iyon ay pupunta ako sa laban,” said Lainez, who used to be a key member of the original Team Pacquiao, a band of boxing brothers whose association with the fight game stretches back to the 1960s.

Pacquiao’s words seem to hold water because, apparently, the major issues of drug-testing and revenue split, have been ironed out.

Speaking to Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, fight scribe Michael Marley said the Top Rank chief said the touchy issue of Olympic-style testing and the purse split have been agreed upon by the two sides.

According to Arum, everything would be equally shared by Pacquiao and Mayweather.

If ever this fight materializes, just about every record in boxing would be shattered.

Ringsiders believe the 2.4 million pay-per-view buys will easily be broken by a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout.

That's when Pacquiao thinks Mayweather will have slowed down.Pacquiao now only fights the over 35yrs club,check his last few fights

[tomhawq]

oh lord, seems that all of the issues mayweather and his followers have been whining about are totally wiped out now. when mayweather finally finds balls to enter pac negotiations he'll be introducing some more issues to b1tch about. just watch. "i made a billion in the ortiz fight, i want a bigger split or $200 million guarantee" or pbf will simply b1tch about philippines' involvement in the testing procedure, thus hold up the fight again. just watch.

i'm very sure arum will be expecting floyd's pu55iness will be even more laughable next time around like a woman in her menopausal stage. just watch. i'd be lmao when the media makes floyd the butt of jokes again in their commentaries.
