Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Fight of the Century Will Never Happen

A week ago I wrote that Manny Pacquiao's camp was to blame for a Mayweather vs. Pac-Man fight never coming to fruition.

It all stemmed from greed. Bob Arum is greedy. Michael Koncz is greedy. Everyone on that side of the ring is greedy, and that's why we'll never see this Fight of the Century.

But now it looks like there is even more greed than we originally thought. And it isn't all coming from the same side.

In an email to ESPN, Money Mayweather explained his most recent talk with Pac-Man. 

"

"I called him and asked him about us fighting May 5 and giving the World what they want to see," Mayweather's email read. "I also let him know we both can make a lot of money. He ask 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 then 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 with his promoter so we can make this fight happen."

"

Um, who exactly does Floyd Mayweather think he is?

Who does he think he's setting up a fight with, Carlos Baldomir? Nope. This is Manny Pacquiao, one half of May-Pac, the potentially biggest fight ever. 

Does he realize the potential purse would only be this big because Pacquiao is on the other side of the ring? How could he possibly demand anything more than 50 percent?

Goodness. Each fighter is guaranteed at least $30 million if they do this fight. Yet Pacquiao's camp continues to make excuses, like a bigger venue would generate another $30 million, but four months isn't enough time to build it, therefore no fight.

And now Mayweather is demanding 51 percent. 51! What is the point?

You know what I would do for $30 million? Well, there's not a whole lot I wouldn't do, so let's just leave it at that.

It's apparent everyone involved in this fight is greedy beyond belief, and as a result the fans will never get to see what they want.

It's time to let it go. Instead, we'll get to watch Pacquiao fight Miguel Cotto.

Woo-freaking-hoo.
