Pacquiao: Floyd should make up his mind
MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao said Floyd Mayweather Jr. would have to make up his mind soon if he really wants their superfight to push through.
The 8-division champion from the Philippines claimed that Mayweather is taking too long to decide on whether he will agree to an equal sharing of revenues.
“Kaya hindi matuloy tuloy kasi minsan agree na siya sa 50-50 tapos ayaw na naman niya, iba na naman kundisyon niya (The fight couldn’t push through because at one time he agreed on a 50-50 split only to change his mind),” said Pacquiao in an interview with ABS-CBN correspondent Jay Dayupay.
Mayweather recently urged Pacquiao to take the superfight in exchange for a $40-million guaranteed prize.
The Filipino, however, made a counteroffer by suggesting a 50-50 purse split.
‘No fight in May’
Boxing promoter Bob Arum, for his part, said he has practically given up on arranging a May fight for Pacquiao and Mayweather.
"Let's forget the May date," he said in Ronnie Nathanielsz's report on Boxing Scene.
"What we are trying to accomplish, assuming Mayweather is going to fight in May and Manny is going to fight in June, is that we are pressing to see if we can get a contract signed between the two fighters for November," Arum added.
Arum said if both Pacquiao and Mayweather agree to hold the megafight on November, "that way the people will be assured that the fight is going to happen."
"There won't be any of this nonsense, which we can put behind us so we can do a huge, huge promotion," he added.

Money Pacquiao
My 4-year old son will be disappointed,because Pacquiao is his idol. Alam ninyo kung ano favorite expression ng anak ko? It is "GINUMAN NA". It is bad influence. Basta maka-pera, kahit na anong produkto ini-sponsor.
Before nagsalita ka na manny
Before nagsalita ka na manny na maski mababa lang matangap mo matuloy lang ang laban.Now,you want it 50-50 split.
It's not all about the money guys
Why don't they just get 40% guarenteed price each, and then give the 20% to the winner. Come one guys, people will get tired waiting for your money talks. Let's get it on!!
Same old play!!!!
If Mayweather can't make up his mind and wants a bigger paycheck then tell it to his face just play with himself or announce his fighting himself by shadow boxing so no matter what happens he will be undefeated...kaya lang baka pati shadow niya ay diktahan pa na kailangan ng blood test etc....
