Floyd Mayweather insists his is ready to reach out to Manny Pacquiao's people with the hope that 'richest fight in boxing history' can be held on May 2
At last the fight everyone wants to see. Floyd Mayweather has called outManny Pacquiao to fight him on May 2 - but only if he receives a much bigger share of the purse.
"We are ready. Let's make it happen. May 2. Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao. Let's do it," he said in a Showtime interview broadcast from San Antonio.
Mayweather, unbeaten in 47 fights, calls himself TBE - The Best Ever - yet Pacquiao has been waiting to fight him for what seems an eternity. Behind the scenes, Showtime, who have given Mayweather a $250 million six-fight contract, have demanded that he put up or shut up.
Behind the scenes, influential Top Rank promoter Bob Arum revealed he has been in talks with leading executives from CBS, the owners ofShowtime. Now it looks as if pressure is being applied for Mayweather to earn his corn.
A Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, on and off around the negotiating table, is estimated to be worth upwards of a quarter of a billion US dollars.
