If what Bob Arum said is true, we can say goodbye to any possibility of seeing Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao squaring off in the ring. In a recent interview with ESPN 1100 in Las Vegas, Arum claimed the following about getting the two boxing superstars to fight one another:
“We had an offer, a legitimate offer on the table for 180 million dollars and people due to fight and had a big upside of 180 for the two fight camps. That’s when he said 55-45 which would’ve given Mayweather 100 million. (Pacquiao) would’ve ended up with 80 million and that’s still a lot of money right? But Mayweather will not fight him.
Not even a reported $100 million could convince Mayweather to fight Pacquiao?! There needs to be something more behind why Money won't fight Pac-Man. Dare we say, fear?
