Prediction: Mayweather is only threatening to take time off to get a better deal for the Pacquiao fight

By Kyle Simpson: The potential Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is quite clearly the biggest fight in each boxers carreer and I think that Floyd ever the opportunist is trying to milk this cash-cow for all he can and get as much money as possible.

The demands both fighters have made for this fight in the past have been well documented what with the row over the blood testing and Manny wanting Floyd to pay however much money for every pound he is over the agreed upon weight limit. Also another demand both fighter have been making is how the money shall be split were the fight to happen at first I believe 50-50 was agreed but now Floyd made bigger pay per view numbers than Manny in each of their last fights he will demand a higher purse split to that Manny’s camp would probably protest.

Knowing this I think Floyd is thinking that if he threatens to ‘take time off’ then the Pacquiao camp will become more desperate to make this mega fight happen and will soften their demands for the fight and Mayweather will get his way once again.

I as I believe many boxing fans out there hope that my theory is right or any other theory that sees these two greats fight each other next. I believe if they do fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. Would win in dominating fashion. But what makes this fight so intriguing that is Manny Pacquiao is so great that many find this hard to believe. Whatever happens (assuming they fight), whoever wins they are both all time great fighters but I believe whoever wins will go down as one of if not the best boxer of all time.
