After battling his most brutal opponent Miguel Cotto, being the victor, and adding an eighth belt to his name, Floyd Mayweather Jr. contemplates his future in the ring. Mayweather is always bombarded with questions regarding whether he will fight Manny Pacquiao. According to USA Today, a future with Pacquiao as his next opponent, isnt going to happen anytime soon.
“I’m just really tired of the media and the people being fooled,” Floyd said. “The truth is, (Pacquiao’s promoter) Bob Arum is not going to let the fight happen. It’s not on me. I went to Pacquiao and offered him $40 million, and told him I would wire him $20 million within 48 hours. He turned me down and said he wanted a 50-50 split. I’m like, how can you ask for 50-50 and you’re not doing the same numbers that I’m doing. So, once he’s free from Bob Arum, will the fight happen? Absolutely. But as of now, he’s with Bob Arum so the fight isn’t going to happen.”
