Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao will eventually end up in the ring. This writer just can't imagine anyone walking away from up to and possibly more than 20 million dollars. Floyd Mayweather claims that he's the pound for pound king. Most beg to differ and say that the real pound for pound king is Manny Pacquiao. If Floyd wants this title back, he's going to have to fight for it. Beyond the title of pound for pound king, there is a huge amount of money in this fight. Mayweather knows this and eventually he will agree to a purse amount.
A 45/45 split with the winner getting the remaining 10 percent seems to be the most logical idea thus far. Both guys save face by equal purse, and the remaining 10 percent goes to the best man that night. You only get so many chances at these kind's of huge payday's. All parties on both sides will sooner or later realize this and the fight will and must go on.
It's being reported the New York's Yankee Stadium has been talked about as a possible venue for this fight. If these reports are true, it sets up one of the biggest fights in boxing's history in the world's largest market. This all equals vast amounts money to be made by both men. How in the world can either of these two prize fighters walk away from this?
Sure everybody on both sides of the fence are digging their heels in the sand right now. Both sides want this to make sense dollar wise, and both sides have their pride. But at the end of the day, can anyone honestly say that their pride will deep six a 20 million dollar payday?
Mayweather vs Pacquiao coming soon!
