Pacquiao speaks to Floyd on Superfight
MANILA, Philippines – There is hope for a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight after all.
Pacquiao told ABS-CBN's Dyan Castillejo that he and Mayweather spoke through the phone and talked about the super bout.
The fighting congressman said he is willing to face Mayweather "anytime," as long as he will be given an equal split of the fight revenues.
"Sabi ko aprub na sa akin ang 50-50, walang problema anytime. Nasa 'yo na 'yun. Maghihintay kami kung OK na sa iyo (
I said just give me a 50-50 split in revenue and there would be no problem, anytime. It's up to you. We’ll wait for your answer)," he said.
If Mayweather agrees, the fight could take place in May.
This was contrary to the claim made by boxing promoter Bob Arum in Sports Illustrated that Pacquiao’s next fight would be in June.
