Mayweather v Pacquaio? Do you think it'll actually happen?

Post by Boxingmad »

I still have my doubts. Arum is a sworn enemy of Mayweather and PBF is hardly going to take the lesser share of the purse. What do you think?

It has too happen, too much money at stake, Manny will fight anyone as we all know, Floyd would probably prefer a rematch with Hatton or Oscar, but he would earn silly money out of this, and if it's true thats he is now skint, he'll have to take the fight. ODH v Floyd had the highest combined purse ODH got $58 mill PBF $25 mill. This has to be even bigger, i reckon they could get $ 50 million a piece! With money like that at stake all differences will be put to one side. :box: :TU:

I think it will be nailed on for next year. Just can not see why it wont happen. So many dollars in the offering.

I think so yes. Most 'must happen' fights do actually get made eventually these days, I'd say for the last decade or so.

This aint just your usual Super-Fight, I actually think this is the biggest fight of all time, the good thing is the PB is skint and is in no position to mess about pay-day wise.

Its a must of a fight, summer '10 I'd say.

I think the hatton v jmm will take place and if hatton wins PBF will want the rematch.

PBF doesnt want to fight dangerous fighters he'll avoid manny and mosley, i think PBF will look for Hatton or Khan later next year.

If the fight doesnt happen then its purely down to PBF. Manny took a 50/50 purse split with hatton and i cant see him not being willing to do the same with PBF.

Each side is posturing to strengthen their bargaining position but I think it has to happen. Too much money not to, if it doesnt its because Arrum knows what we know, Mayweather probably clearly outboxes the Pacman and takes away the Pinnoys star status and future earnings as a result.

Golden Boy have said Mayweather probably faces Mosley if it doesnt come off, which I may actually prefer
