By Rimar Cry: There’s a fight out there which I’m extremely tired of reading about, but which has my attention like no other. We all want to know who’s the best P4P.

With all the hype it’s hard to imagine the fight being anything other than an anticlimax. Who really knows how well the two are matched?

My personal feelings are that while Manny Pacquiao probably has significantly more power, Floyd Mayweather’s finesse will be greatly superior on the night. Floyd’s been in against heavy hands before but very few punch’s have landed. When did we last see Mayweather bruised and swollen? Pacquiao’s speed seems to have diminished and as was demonstrated in the Marquez fight, Manny has problems against accurate timing of which Floyd is a master.

I don’t care much for the predictions though. They’re both worthy champions and anything can happen, so let them battle it out and show us who’s the real boss. I’m more concerned with why they’re not fighting than what will happen when they do.

Greed is such an ugly thing, especially when it stands in the way of an event which almost transcends the sport. Money aside we have a right to see this fight – we are the sponsors who have built these guys up through PPV purchases and fanatical patronage.

The reports suggest Mayweather wants a colossal pay day and I’m sure Pacquiao won’t be appearing for free. While the sums of money talked about make me feel physically sick, at least the boxers have a legitimate claim to the generated funds. After all this fight will most likely retire one of them, if not both.

So why then does this important fight seem to hinge on Bob Arum increasing his coffers so massively? This is the exact reason why the sport of boxing is on it’s knees.

Two’s company but three’s a crowd: it’s hard enough for these two champions to agree terms, without a third wheel trying to skim off so much revenue. This fight is quickly moving towards it’s “sell by” date, and Bob Arum will happily see it pass by unless he gets to call all the shots.
