Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, will it happen?

Right, like Floyd's only goal is to make $100 million. I haven't even heard Floyd say how much he's looking to make. The numbers will take care of themselves. I believe that what they're asking for is 2/3 of the pot. If that's what they want, then accept it, sign the contract and stop saying money isn't an issue when obviously it is.
Everyone else (Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, Canelo, Miadana) Floyd has fought since the first negotiations didn't seem to have a problem with Floyd's offer. Were they big as Pacquiao? No, but they wanted the fight bad enough so they accepted what was on the table (drug test, money split) so they could have a chance at defeating the pound for pound champ.

You are comparing and contrasting two different things while not looking at context and who introduced them in the first place.
Like I said before, the ppv numbers for Manny's fights are low due to two reasons:quality of opponents and fighting in emerging markets. What I have said before is that for Manny to get the $40 million Floyd offered, all he had to do was fight ANYONE twice. However, on the flip side, Floyd would have to fight three HIGHER QUALITY fights to make $100 million (Both numbers are guaranteed purse numbers and I rounded Floyds up.)
Do you understand the difference now?

Manny Pacquiao is a hype machine, he just capitalizes off of Mayweather's name. You see he makes commercials supposedly taunting Mayweather and before he fights his opponents he always bring up Mayweather's name but when Floyd sets a date to fight, Pacquiao always finds a way out. Pacquiao's tactics are getting played out.
I'd pick Ortiz, Cotto (now), Guerrero, Canelo, and especially Miadana to beat Pacquiao after seeing how he got put to sleep. Pacquiao is fighting light welterweights now.... lmfao

We don't know what the current offer even is though, so it's easy to say "just accept the deal" when there is no information out there regarding anything.
On a positive note Freddie Roach said yesterday he thinks things are close to being finalized and Pacquiao also stated he's very happy with the on going negotiations, so perhaps there is a glimmer of hope after all.

lmfao, man that old as prediction is like 10 years old.
I believe that Ortiz and Guerrero would beat Pacquiao, 40 year old Marquez knocked him out cold and gave him trouble in all of their fights. Pacquiao has trouble with fighters who can punch and fight back. I think Miadana would hurt Pacquiao and make his wife cry like she did when Marquez put him to sleep...

Same type of style same type of results. This is the easiest style for Pacquiao. Styles makes fights come on bro you should know that by now. What could Guerrero possibly do to beat Pacquiao? Come forward and throw slow arm punches? Yeah that will do it :hurt:. And weren't you saying Bradley would KO Pac in the rematch or was that Bigclit?
Bradley is a legit welterweight now he was a welterweight champion when Pacquiao beat him.
As for Rios and Chris, comes down to a lack of Top Rank welterweights. Al Haymon has every welterweight that Pacquiao hasn't already fought - Thurman, Alexander, Khan, etc.
That's why I said pages ago if Pacquiao doesn't get this Mayweather fight he's screwed as far as his next opponent goes. The only guys left are 135/140, Crawford and Garcia (although Garcia is currently trying to get out if his contract and sign with Haymon I believe). Ruslan. And shitty ass Vargas. So in that sense I do agree with you there us a real sense of urgency and Pacquiao should sign a contract even if it's a low ball offer because he's got no one else to fight. I'd negotiate as best as possible and take the best deal they can get.
