Can Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight be finalize?
Pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao wants a 60-40 split to fight pretty boy Floyd Mayweather Jr., that was according to his trainer Freddie Roach.
"Manny believes he should get a 60-40 [purse] split too, because he did better in pay-per-view than Mayweather this year. Manny's the bigger draw," as Roach told LA Times. Bob Arum of Top Rank and Paquiao's promoter visited Philippines to have a talk to Pacquiao and will try to work out the deal for a Mayweather fight. On some sports news, it is said that Mayweather has already agreed to a March 13 fight, however it is not sure if Pacquiao will be willing to fight on the said date. As we all know that Pacquiao is seeking for a congressional seat for the Philippines and his camp indicate that he may not want to fight until after the 2010 May elections.
"March 13 is too fast a turnaround," Roach said. "Manny has a broken [right] eardrum" suffered in the Cotto fight. "I'd like to have more time. I hope the fight happens, yes, but I want us to be in the best possible shape.
Roach told LA Times that he rather have the fight in May and prior to this, it was proposed that the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight will be held on May 1.
