For years
now the world has wanted this fight to happen and with two of the greatest
fighters of our generation it would arguably be the biggest fight of all time. There
are many reasons why this fight hasn’t or will never happen, like Mayweather
wanted random urine and blood tests. Manny agreed to have urine tests but didn’t
want random blood tests. Although he did say he would have one after the fight.
Then Mayweather wanted a bigger share of the fights purse because he claims he brings
in more numbers, which to be fair is true. Mayweather is the biggest fighter
out there and sells more tickets than anyone. So Pacquiao then offered him a
55-45 purse split, which Floyd said wasn’t good enough. He then went on to say Manny is a fighter on
decline and cannot dictate the terms of the fight. At the end of the day Mayweather
can still lay an offer on the table for Pacquiao but instead keeps shying away
from doing such things and coming up with some ego fuelled rant about how he
should get more money. If it comes down to money then Mayweather should either
retire or fight Pacquiao because there isn’t a fight out there for him which
will generate the money that a fight against Manny would. There is no other fight
who can bring in the numbers Floyd does except Manny Pacquiao. I just think
Mayweather doesn’t want the fight, he keeps throwing plenty of terms and
conditions Pacquiao’s way and when Pacquiao agrees to them he just makes up
more. Floyd keeps recycling old issues to stall any sort of negotiations
between the two. So back to my question “is Mayweather Avoiding Pacquiao?” Yes I
think he is avoiding him.
