I was taught never to pick a fight I couldn't win. I think Mayweather was taught the same lesson.

Lol. Well in the words of my CO brother, "That scrub is sitting most the day in the LT's office talking boxing and having lunch, and that is IF the warden isn't a boxing fan. Then they will escort him back to his private cell".

I bet he is probably right, Jason. And the rich get richer....

Yahoo Sports:

Quote:
The burden, finally, is fully and entirely on Floyd Mayweather Jr. to make a fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao agreed Thursday during appearances on two separate television shows on ESPN to give Mayweather a 55-45 advantage on a financial split should they fight, as the public has been demanding since late 2009. A match between them is expected to be the most lucrative bout in boxing history.

Pacquiao, who meets Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas, had been demanding a 50-50 split. Without such a split, he’d said repeatedly over the last 18 months that he would not agree to a fight with Mayweather.

The other major hurdle blocking the fight between the two men regarded by many as the two best in the world was Mayweather's demand for Olympic-style drug testing. Initially, Pacquiao balked at the testing. He has since changed his stance and has said repeatedly over the last year he would fully comply with the tests, just as Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz and Miguel Cotto have done in Mayweather's last three fights.

In a telephone interview with Yahoo! Sports on Monday, Pacquiao made no mention of a purse split, but he was as optimistic about the possibility of a fight with Mayweather as he had ever been.

"I think Mayweather will be next," Pacquiao said, declining to specify why.

But by agreeing to give Mayweather the lion's share of the purse, Pacquiao has shifted the onus to Mayweather.

Same. If it does happen watch the PPV fee be through the roof though. I would'nt be shocked at something well over a $100.

:r I think they both have the same punching speed but I also think Canelo hits harder. Bad thing is I think Canelo is too young and will try to go for the knock out early and that will be his downfall. :2

I would pay big money to see Canelo knock Big Mouth on his arse, Jason. :tu

On the other hand, I would wager a 5'er of good cigars on Big Mouth if it came down to it. ;)

Voting with my wallet - no mayweather ppv dollars from me till he fights Manny. Although sadly I think time may have run out on what should have been.

Agreed on the window possibly being shut, I am not sure Manny is the fighter he was a couple years ago....sad that this fight didn't happen then. Canelo may have the best chance at this point, but he will need to fight a super intelligent fight.
