By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Sr. says his son Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be returning to the boxing ring and will be fighting Manny Pacquiao, whom he sees as not being in the same class as his son.

Before Floyd can fight Manny, he has to take care of his legal problems that are getting in the way of their mega fight. Once those problems go away, Mayweather should be more than ready to take on Pacquiao and beat him.

Speaking with examiner.com, Mayweather Sr. said this in regards to the $100 million that Mayweather Jr. was said to be asking for a fight with Pacquiao: “It aint little Floyd talking. Its somebody putting stuff in his ear.”

Asking for $100 million isn’t that big of a deal. Why shouldn’t Mayweather be asking to get as much as possible? He’s been arguably the biggest star in boxing for some time and he should be trying to get the biggest payday possible. Besides, we’re only hearing this $100 million through hearsay. Who knows what Mayweather said? But I would be okay with him asking for that amount. It doesn’t mean he’ll get the money but he can always ask.

I can see Mayweather getting the bigger split, especially if Pacquiao struggles in his next fight against Shane Mosley. If Pacquiao has a hard time winning that fight, and I can see that happening, it’s going to put Mayweather in a good position for negotiating with the Filipino star. I don’t care how many PPV buys Pacquiao-Mosley brings in. If Pacquiao struggles in beating Mosley, then it will be next impossible for Pacquiao and Arum to justify asking for a 50-50 deal.
