Floyd says no to 50-50 deal
Undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not going to give in to the 50-50 split of income in fight with Manny Pacquiaio, according to a report from Examiner.
Mayweather was quoted as saying:
“He asked about a 50/50 split and I told him no, that can’t happen, but what can happen is you can make more money fighting me than you have made in your career. I also let him know I’m in control on my side but he needs to get on the same page as his promoter so we can make this fight happen.”
Manny's wife Jinkee said on Monday that Pacquiao-Floyd bout will push through.
