Mayweather set for Mega Fight
Sources within the Mayweather camp told Ad Rem Press this evening that Floyd Mayweather has given his adviser Leonard Ellerbe parameters for a fight with either Manny Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez in November, soon after he completes his jail sentence. Parameters include the framework for purse split, dates and venues that the pound for pound champion is willing to accept in order for a fight to move forward. Mayweather, who is set to fight Miguel Cotto on May 5, offered Manny Pacquiao a fixed $30 million dollar purse in February. An offer that the second ranked pound for pound fighter immediately rejected.
Weight and Purse Split Not an Issue
“Mayweather is not afraid of Manny, he is definitely not afraid of Sergio. What people on the outside don’t realize is that he’s as much of a business man as he is a fighter. Nobody in the sport deserves a 50-50 split with Floyd, nobody.”
Sergio Martinez who recently offered Mayweather an 80-20 split is the second option. Mayweather is eager to land a date before a match with either of the two fighters loses its luster.
“Floyd is still focused on his next fight with Miguel he’s just laying the groundwork, he knows that he can’t negotiate much when he’s serving his sentence. He really wants to fight Manny. Top Rank knows this, they know it more than anyone. He’s fighting Cotto at 154 to prepare for Sergio in the event that Pacquiao loses his next fight”
With that being said our source also gave an indication that Mayweather is looking to be more reasonable with his terms in order to make the fight happen.
“He wants a bigger fight, I don’t know what the numbers are. Leo has them, Goldenboy will have them but he wants everything to be settled by the time he gets out. It’s gonna happen”
another bullshit statement…..who cares…personally I no longer interested to see the fight….
Amen!!!
Mayweather is a liar!!!!
yes indeed… he’s not being more on a businessman than being a fighter rather he is being more than a coward… well i really don’t understand the american or even other race why they still like to watch the fight of this coward since he don’t like to pay he’s due to the fans (by fighting pacman) besides his fight is not even entertaining he just fight cowardly (one punch then run or clinch if he’s opponent attacks)… Or maybe the people just like to see this gayweather to be beaten, busted or ko’ed that why people like to watch his fight but sorry to the hopelessly people this that ain’t gonna happen because this chicken pick his opponent wisely.. could be 1 1/2 or 2 yrs more before he fight pacman to make sure what he say that he like to even the playing field or maybe not fighting pacman forever….
Obviously you like watching him fight, whether it is to see him lose or win. You would not have taken the time out of your precious day to comment here if that weren’t the case, right?
…. wrong!!!
PLEASE DO NOT POST when you know nothing about the sport of boxing and it is clearly obvious that you dont know shit about boxing.
I can bet your not saying this same sh*t now that Punkman got his butt kicked by a NO name fighter last month, huh!! Dumba$$!!
Your comment displays your ignorance in reference to boxing. May does not owe anyone anything. He has fought like a true champion for 16 years and running. During that run, he has beaten everyone without question except for the 1st fight with Castillo and we all know what happened in the rematch. I remember when people were saying that he was scared of Cotto several years ago. Now I hear the same b llshit about Pac. May can retire now and will still be the greatest boxer to lace em up along with RJJ. If Pac really wanted to fight he would have taken the test the 1st time. Who turns down 30 million because they are afraid of needles but has tatoos? CHEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats who.
your an Idiot, and yes your gonna pay for the pay per view also so stop whinning and get some cheese.
mayweather is afraid to fight pacquiao!!! mayweather!!!!you better saty in jail!!!
Floyd will fight Manny or Sergio in November. Manny had said once that he’ll accept a 70/30 split to make the fight happen. But when push came to shove, he said he’ll only accept a 50/50 split. C’mon. Manny flip flops like Mitt Romney. Floyd will beat this ham easily. Mark my word. No competition. It’ll be boring.
Boring as you!!!!!
The only time Manny had boring fights.
> Mosley running like a bitch.
> Clottey covering up like a bitch.
> Marquez waiting on Manny to throw a punch.
> Mayweather fighting with his mouth instead of his fists.
Look what happened to warriors like Hatton, Dela Hoya, Morales, Margarito, Cotto and etc?
Manny just said those words in a jest to bring Floyd to the table. Do you even understand this?
Stop opening your mouth David, mark my word you bore us.
Pink Floyd Gayfeather is obviously afraid because he knows he will lose for the first time in his career & He will lose like what happened to antonio barrera ending up like a punching bag & the bruise & cuts will make him not pretty girl gayfeather anymore but he will look like Mayweather Senior.
David & Mavi, Accept who you are. Accept no fighter is invincible. Or still hiding or trying to convince yourselves that PBF is better? Its a shame for someone to pretend or cheat or lie to themselves that PBF Chickenshit is worth fighting for even if its on their faces that their guy is a boring & faggot fighter.
YOU All PBF fans CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Birds of the same GAYfeather, Flocks together!
jake your an Idiot……can you say Bradley!!!!
mayweather is a clever man. he fights only those who are weaks, and already retirables. and ask skyhigh share of the pot when he knows the likely opponent has the gut to put him down.
tell me that after the fight of manny and mayweather. let’s see if you would tell me that same word sport. lol
Gayweather wants to retired undefeated without fighting the best in Manny . He throws on punch and run and then clench, very lacklustre fighter he is so I don”t know what all the hype about him is.
David, don’t be silly. If Fairweather thought he could beat PAC, like his fans do, he’d have signed years ago, not invented the drugs nonsense or silly splits. After all, 50% of this fight is much more dough than 80% of other fights! Wht’s more, signs in the last 2 fights that PBF is slipping, caught plenty by Cotto, and several times by Ortiz, the reflexes are starting to go.
Remember what happened to Jones when the reflexes went? Suddenly losing to all sorts of lesser mortals.
Pacquiao is a little midget..mayweather will eat him up.!!!ha!!!ha!!
Floyd must not insult the people by playing around, 50/50 is the logical sharing if he really want to fight Manny. Above than that will be an excuse to avoid the fight. He must be honest enough to accept if he don’t want to risk his undefeated record.
TrueBXFan. First and foremost I am a Pacquiao (lil 2pac) fan haha. I am also a Mayweather fan as well in part with getting the opportunity to see both fighters pedigree and training preparation. With that said I have to disagree that Manny deserves a 50/50 split but also think Mosley may have knocked some of Floyds marbles loose if he thinks Manny doesn’t deserve at least 40%. As great as Manny is, his fights do not, & have not pulled in even a quarter of what the match up with Floyd will bring. There will be a split audience: fans who want to see Manny and Floyd battle, fans that want to see Floyd lose, and the rest of the world. People are paying to see Floyd fight, lose..whatever. They aren’t really showing the love to Manny and after the Marques fight, it has weaken a bit. Something to think about: People will also not that manny has made his climb being fighters coming off a loss and piggy backing many of Floyds opponents. Floyd has done more for the sport by helping generate fans (haters or lovers), relevance (with the rise of MMA) and money.
This faggot is displaying his cowardice in the open but blind black Americans are blindly embracing him just for the reason that he is the only flag bearer standing for them, this is without regard of the kind of representation this ‘chicken’ may offer. What a shame….. land of the brave??????
Hey cunt enough with the bringing in the racist comment about other black people supporting Money Mayweather cause he is of the same shade of skin as them…
Fucken backward primitive thinking cocksucker motherfucker Dan……..
Mavi, that’s just nonsense. You give PAC no credit for moving up several weights, battering much bigger guys (oh, and ones that Fairweather has swerved, until being forced into this Cotto fight), and making the welter div far more exciting. You also didn’t notice that PBF may have realised that the clock is ticking for him, with his ridiculous lifestyle he needs a giant payday to help through at least part of his retirement. He got touched a couple of times by a lesser mortal (VO) in his last fight, when a couple of years ago he’d never have landed a shot, signs that the reflexes may just be sliding a bit. PBF has called for SM to come way down in weight for such a fight, which Martinez has previously said he wouldn’t do. If they meet at the higher weight, PBF knows his precious ‘oh’ (that he’s leaving a legacy with, ho-ho!) will probably go. A PAC fight is a better bet for PBF, but don’t be misled by that last Marquez fight, those 2 have had 3 close fights now. PAC offered PBF a 45-45 split, with the other 10% to the winner – surprise, PBF tuurned it down. IF PBF was as confident as his fans about a PAC fight, he’d have signed by now. Besides, 45 or 55% of a PAC fight is miles bigger than 80% of any other fights?!
You said it; he got touched, not knocked out like your boy Manny, who got knocked out twice, once by a body blow. LMAO!
Mavi you tell me who generates more fans? Even many americans love manny. remember the dallas cowboy stadium? who fought there a couple of times already? Manny dont deserve 50/50? are you blind or pretending to be blind? the only reason manny decides to have it 50/50 because the man wants to make the fight happen. He wants it fair & square (even if it is supposed to be 60/40 for manny) so that gayfeather will not have the reason for the excuse not to fight him &even if manny deserves more., because you all jealous blind pretenders cannot accept the fact that he generates more fans even more american fans because manny is an exceptional, exciting to fighter to watch which is the opposite of your PBF because he is a boring fighter always defense & occassional offense.
And you fellas are racist like your idol because of your jealousy & you are stunned that a filipino native is ruling the boxing world. He does not look like a meztiso or black american but is kicking so many champions ass all over the world. That is called racism & jealousy. You pretty boy american gayfeather. What are you afraid of? FIGHT! NO EXCUSESSSS!
Floyd is an asshole coward, boring fighter, a gay . . . just fight pac, the real brave and exciting fighter . . . period. Don’t mind this shit floyd. . . He’s fooling you around to no end . . . Floyd, you’ve eaten too much chicken, getting not only into your stomach, but up to your head, that you’re not willing to fight the pac.
fight will never happen, get over it
Mayweather is scared period. He is full of bullshit.
Well you probably said the same thing before he fought Coralles, Oscar, Mosley, Hatten, Cotto. But guess what, after tomorrow not Floyd will have faught all of them, and beat them easily.
bullshit article. let us see for the ppv netween may cotto and pac bradley. stupid article and nonsense.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER SHOULD BE RENAMED TO FLOYD CHICKENFEATHER, HE’S A REAL CHINCKEN
Everybody knows for sure what’s this article is about. To promote the fight of floyd with Cotto. They did this before and they are doing it again. This is sure to happen just as floyd will duck Manny again. It’s the blueprint.
By the way he will not fight Sergio either. That’s against his policy of “self preservation”.
My unsolicited advice for Manny Pacquiao – 50/50 or no fight, Congressman.
mayweather is afraid to lose…period.
Mayweather will one thing and will do another thing. It’s hard to believe him.
Oh, really? Didn’t Manny make and announcement that he was willing to accept a 70/30 split in Feb?
Let Review:
Pacquiao vs. Cotto; Cotto down twiced then TKO on last round, a night after the fight, Manny attended his Concert.
Gayweather vs. Cotto; Cotto survived the fight (no KO), and Mayweather become one of Santa’s raindeer’s (Floyd the Red Nose Raindeer)!!!!
@Gayweather
Lets review then shall we. Man so many haters on this site!
Pac vs Cotto
Pac takes Cotto on after the worst beating in his career where he barely had a proper trainer for this fight. Further more Pac makes the CHAMPION at the time come down to a 145lb catchweight for the fight. Never been done in the history of the sport!
Money vs Cotto
Money beats Cotto at 154 lb. Floyd only been there once in his career.
Beat him at his own game and just to show you that Pac DECLINED the opportunity to fight Cotto at 154 and even DECLINED a catchweight at 150. So take you’re biased comments to Pacland.com because these are facts right here not bullshit like you’re putting on here.
SPLIT NOT AN ISSUE?… except he’ll got more than 60%???… well, another GAYWeather’s demand.. a very good reason for a chicken run… caaaack!
Who is rated by Ring Magazine as the best pound for pound fighter in the world? I think Manny lost his spot. No? Also who is undefeated? So Floyd deserves the bigger purse. No?
Always remember…… Ring Magazine is published in the U.S. of A. not in Asia….
Cry me a river
Tell your idol. Shame on him! He did not even try???
@David
Do you really think you are a smart A-hole by the way you talk?
Undefeated means nothing dumbass. Do you know your boxing?
Ring Magazine’s best pound for pound fighter in the world? Now that they are both number 2, will Floyd now take 50/50 split dumbass?
Take Floyd’s zero, who will he be?
A loud mouth homophobic racist convicted woman beater.
Take Manny’s Eight Division World Championship, who will he be?
Bible Ambassador, Congressman, International Product Endorser, Singer, Actor, etc.
No? Illiterate Dumbass.
Just more Mayweather media manipulation so people keep talking about him. He won’t fight either of them. He will never take any risk of losing and certainly will not take any risk of getting hurt as in with Martinez. Didn’t you see the Costas interview where he all but admitted he will not take any fight where he has a risk of getting hurt. what is this man doing in the sport of boxing? What a fraud.
You manny nut huggers said the same thing about everyone Floyd has faced and beat easily.
Floyd is scared?
If he is so scared, why does he beat all his opponents so easily?
David, I know you love Gayfeather. You have the reason to be one of his fans because he is really one of D best out there & undefeated. But the point is to all ya pinkfloyd fans, you are trying also to cheat or admit to yourselves that he is afraid. Are you blind or something? You all know from your hearts & minds that he is ducking manny. It is very obvious from all of his statements (You ol not kindergartens arent you?) his accusations about steroid use etc., his 40 mil offer to manny. You are all adults! Wake up! Dont make an excuse just because you love this PBF. You all just begining to be like your idol pinkfloyd with full of excuses but afraid to face the fact that your idol is a Chicken! PBF is an excellent fighter & champion. So, What is he afraid of? He beat many champions, so what’s the matter with him?? Because he knows manny is better than him. You all PBF Fans compare, who has more punching power? Who is much faster with blinding hooks? Who is more exciting to watch? Come on people dont cheat on yourselves! i Know he will only fight manny if he sees that he is detoriating or aging. He is waiting for manny to age because if that happens i know in my heart that PBF will win because he is a defense specialist. I know everybody is entitled to his own beliefs & opinions but the fact is we all humans got scared sometimes but we also pretend to others that we are not. All im saying is we dont have to be scared all our lives & we have to fight to prove to others & ourselves that we are not cowards. Com’mon PBF fans instead of commenting trying to argue here that your idol is not.WHY not encourage him by writing or challenge your idol to fight this man already! COM’ON GAYFEATHER YOU DID’NT EVEN TRY??? Shame on you prettyin PINKFLOYD GAYFEATHER! That’s why he is undefeated because he chooses his opponents like he did to cotto he is ducking him then, then cotto got older & slower. it would be a fair fight if he did not duck cotto many years ago when they both on their peaks. By the way i love roy jones, hopkins, mosley, cotto, lewis because they are great champions & they dont duck anyone on their careers! Be a man david & face the facts! Its already on your face & you still believe that gayfeather is not afraid. You are like your idol! You all are. Any contra response here does not matter because all pacman fans know on their hearts, who is the better fighter & they are not cheating on themselves!
@pretty in pink
Everything you said in you’re little outburst is nothing but speculation! you have no idea about what both of these fighters are like on a personal level and you sit on the back of a keyboard and take potshots thinking you know what’s going on,PLEASE! You say all floyd does is duck and cherrypick. Please tell me who manny hasn’t cherry picked since dela hoya in 08. I want you to enlighten me? I think all you pacfans are so blinded with hate for floyd that you completely accept all of Bob Arums and some of pacs lies as well you only care about floyds side because it’s all his fault right? It takes two to tango but in this case it takes three to dance because Bob is the the MAIN reason this fight is not happening. I also think Floyd and Bob hate each other so much that that that they don’t want to put a dime in each others pockets and pac is stuck in the middle of their feud. Also all you pacfans take floyds interview with costa way out of context. He truly believes pac is on the juice that is what is referring to not pac himself but pac on the roids, but pac should want to prove everone wrong and be taking OSDT just to shut floyd up but he won’t! He had the chance to do it against Bradley now and prove Floyd wrong right? Wrong, he is hiding something. I bet you have no basis for backing up any of you’re claims you’re just bashing floyd because you’re friends are. Face the Facts!
Floyd already said it himself that he is a coward..A rich coward.
Floyd said he cared about his future. Fans will not pay his bills only him can.
Floyd said he cared about his health and will give away all the money if given the option to chose between the two. lol.
All this came out of his mouth when the thought of fighting Manny came to his mind.
No one even asked. No? moron.
@cadberry
No one thoght he’d fight hatton,mosley,ortiz everyone thought he was taking a huge risk at the time because they all came off devastating victories as where floyd was coming off long layoffs! When floyd wins everyone calls him as cherrypicker, and pacfans have the cheek to say floyd cheerypicks? please, Manny is worse for it!
boycott the ppv of gayweather vs cotto. boxing fans must not give in to the arrogance of gayweather and let’s see what happen to the ” nobody gets a 50/50 split. nobody” of the fraud gay.
Obviously you’re not going to boycott it. If you were, you wouldn’t have taken the time out of your precious day to comment in this Forum.
@David
Please shut your illiterate mouth. You make us sick.
Stupidity is painful. Painful to those around you.
Forget it! Floyd Mayweather isnt going to fight anyone worth watching. He’s blown it with Pacquiao, i’ve lost interest in the idea. Mayweather is too old and his statements are too foolish.
Floyd Mayweather is one of the most disgraceful, insecure, disrespectful, irritating, rude, classless animal in this world. This kind of garbage belongs to the dumpsite and must be ignored. He needs an animal psychiatrist to cure his unearthly ego and an acid mouthwash to cleanse his bad mouth. ANYTHING ABOUT MAYWEATHER IS RUBBISH!
Mayweather is full b***shit
I truly beleive manny should retired without fighting floyd mayweather.Floyd is a very egoistic and awkward person.Who cares about his unbeaten record .When he fights other boxers he(mayweather) doesnt talk about getting hurt.When asked about fighting manny he talks about getting hurt and his health.This shows he is scared of manny pacuiao.
In regards to Mayweather and Manny: I agree wholeheartedly with the poster David here. He seems to be the only who speaks from a common sense standpoint. What i see are people who can’t separate their emotions and what they WANT to see happen verses what will really or what has actually happened. As David pointed out earlier, all the same comments were made about the fighters Floyd faced (cherry picking, past their prime, etc) But what we all can do (which I know anyone defending Manny will not) is simply go to the actual fight and listen to what the commentators are saying about the opponent Floyd has faced.
From boxing generalship and God given skill, forget Manny being in the same ring with Floyd, he’s not even in the same arena. If you think Manny draws fans like Floyd, then now only do you NOT know boxing, you don’t know math either.
How did Jay Z say it? Men and Women lie, numbers don’t lie! While Manny is a good boxer, he is and has been defeated. It’s only logical and common sense that things cannot be equal in terms of a purse split as one boxer has achieved something the other has not.
It’s easy but wrong for a bunch of teens that fake their age to jump online and post randomly retarded comments here. It’s a crime for grown men to come here, who are supposed to set an example for the youth and don’t; but come here and post comments as if they’re still in the 3rd grade. And how can anyone feel as though their point was heard, understood or digested with the God awful grammar I’ve witnessed? What society do we live in when one person can hate another and speak with a lack of respect simply because (because of entertainment reasons ONLY) they choose to root for a different boxer. Are things THAT serious?
Well said! Floyd Mayweather is the TOP GROSSING athlete in the world PERIOD!!! He makes double what Manny makes in his biggest fight. Like the Jay-Z line lol.
It’d be CRAZY to split the purse with this BUM.
ASS UR A MAYWEATHER RETARD FAN! GO TO HELL!! ASK UR IDOL TO GO OUT AND FIGHT!1
Mayweather is a good fighter but being a good fighter you have to fight everyone..not choose who to fight…he is using different alibis just to stay undefeated he is not afraid to fight but in contrary he is afraid to lose he knows he will lose to a great fighter like Manny..the way I see it,manny will retire without fighting Mayweather which is sad to all boxing fanatics because we deserve to see a great fight.
sad when a sport is governed by money like that
Mayweather > Pacquiao
End of discussion.
Pacquiao chickenfied Mayweather, so by definition Pacquiao >>>>>>>>>>>>> Maychicken.
mayweather vs pacquiao 40-40…who win the fight gets the 20% purse…how is that?…
FLOYD can´t beat paquiao, and either him or pacquiao can´t beat SERGIO, so what´s the deal with Floyd´s ego, he is not the best boxer in the world. If he will like to mantain with 0 losses, he better don´t fight with pacman or La Maravilla.
He better don’t fight? What the hell?? Mayweather will SMASH pacwoman
You obviously don’t’ know Sh!t about boxing. SMH.. Go to your corner and don’t’ come out!!
I don’t see any updated comments from any of you Punkman D*ck riders after his lost. Have you all hung yourselves??LOL
mayweather is a good boxer but he is also a most coward boxer in the history of boxing, i repeat coward, maybe he is a former macho dancer because the way he play seems like a dancer
Nobody in the sport deserves a 50-50 split with Floyd, nobody.”
WHO WROTE THIS ONE??? ARE YOU…? MANNY GETS 40-60 WITH FLOYD?
INSTEAD OF 40-40 BOTH AND GETS 20% IF HU EVER WINS? DOESNT IT MAKE SENSE IF YOU ARE REALLY A GOOD BOXER MY FLOYD??
Y CANT U AGREE WITH THAT??? WHY????!
AFRAID OF LOSING? NOTHING ELSE.. 45-45 THEN 10 GOES TO THE WINNER!
Little floyd is a BIG LIAR!!! Over two years have gone by and he didn’t step into the ring with Manny and now Manny lost. Sergio will DESTROY mayweather and IF they meet, which I seriously doubt, mayweather will try to find a way out of that one before he steps into the ring. I’ll believe any one of those two fights get made the day they are in the ring.
A good fighter will fight with his fist and skill to entertain his fans but not with his mouth like Floyd Mayweather does.
although i’m a filipino, i think floyd will win this, that’s the message during pac-bradly fight.
and even if manny knocks him out, he might be disqualified, but for floyd to lose, i dont think so, unless we get judges who are young.
Purse split not an issue? What a stupid statement – when it was already declared that nobody deserves 50-50 split with Floyd? It’s deceiving to offer a seemingly large amount when one wants to bring home 100% (approx. 50 M USD) of the pay per view! Why not another fair sharing? Nobody gets fooled by Floyd’s antics.
40/60 is the best proposal from Manny pacman, if Mayweather is a sure winner then he can agree because he will surely get the bigger purse. So Money agree with Pacman proposal and everything will be okey.
40/60 is the best offer.
60 for money Gayweather if he can beat manny.
As it appears, it’s no longer Packman these days. It’s Martinez.
