As expected, WBC welterweight champion rejected by Floyd Mayweather Jr., the 50-50 percent division of all income imposed by King pound-for-pound Manny Pacquiao when they talk on the phone last Friday.
"He asked about a 50/50 split and I told him no, that can not happen, but what can happen is you can make more money fighting me than you have made in your career," said Mayweather on Sportscenter newscaster that Stan Verret ESPN. "I also let him know I'm in control on my side but he needs to get on the same page so we as his promoter can make this fight happen."
"It's just right that we share equally," said Pacquiao in Fightnews.com. "Floyd has to look at the PPV numbers to understand why it be fair for us to split it in half."
Because of this, many boxing writers condemned as by Scoop Malinowski and Charlie Knoxville Mayweather not seriously challenge Pacquiao.
"I told you so. Three times I've guaranteed Floyd Mayweather will duck Manny Pacquiao. And Floyd has done it again. This time Floyd is demanding a 50-50 purse split which is simply not acceptable. This is what Floyd always does when he knows he will very likely lose a fight to an ironwilled, relentless pressure fighter like (Miguel Angel) Cotto, (Paul) Williams, (Antonio) Margarito and Pacquiao: Floyd simply creates a host of excuses and reasons to block the fight he knows he could get beaten up and knocked out in, "said Malinowski in boxinginsider.com.
"This time ducking the tactic is executed by pretending to want to force the fight to happen on the illogical date of May 5 as well as demanding the lions share of the total purse despite the fact Floyd is a fading PPV and live gate attraction and Pacquiao is a growing star who now exceeds the American's star power, even in his own country, "Malinowski's whim. "If Pacquiao and Arum were to agree to these latest demands, Floyd will simply use another desperate demand to kill the fight, most likely, 'Manny has to drop the lawsuit." If Manny were to agree to drop the lawsuit, Floyd and his advisor Al Haymon yet would simply Create another block. And on and on it would go. "
"This is how They operate. Mayweather and Haymon do not want to fight Pacquiao and they never have. For two years Mayweather and Haymon have faked their way through and schemed this by pretending to want the fight but whenever it comes close to finalizing a deal They always find a way to block it, "added Malinowski. "How do I know this? Well, Al Haymon's associate George Peterson, the co-manager of Paul Williams, told me so. `The fight will never happen, 'an empathic Peterson told me over and over again in December of 2009."
"All of the Floyd Mayweather fanatics were putting the blame on Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum, these people are so biased it's not even funny. Just Because Floyd calls out Manny on Twitter does not mean anything, it's all a smokescreen to act like he wants the fight, "reports also of Knoxville in nowboxing.com. "Floyd has done this many times before, just like he lied about there not being a 2nd round of negotiations and decided to go on vacation instead of fighting Manny, and Manny Pacquiao said how he was next and later told a reporter he never said that . Floyd is a liar, even the judge who postponed His jail sentence denied insisting on a May 5th date."
Any day will reveal the Top Rank Promotions who is Pacquiao's opponent in the June 9 and float the name of WBA light middleweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto ahead of the Pinoy boxer.
