Yup, and even Freddy Roach has come out and said "Floyd wants a rematch clause in the contract", that doesn't like someone that is ducking.
Freddie Roach Says Floyd Mayweather Jr Wants A Rematch Clause In Pacquiao Fight - International Business Times
Just a quick copy and paste from this article:
In an article by Rappler, Pacquiao's business manager Eric Pineda has said that the negotiations are already underway. Pineda said that Pacquiao is not interested with the money, but instead, the eight-division Filipino world champion is more concerned about giving the fans what they want.

Actually that title is dedicated to CZAR, bro
God, imagine if both these fights happen in 2015. The fans deserve it after bullshit 2014.
Bradley chimes in on Mayweather vs Pacquiao, Canelo vs Cotto
“Cotto-Canelo is one of them fights a pick ‘em,” Bradley would reply when asked about Cotto-Canelo.
He would continue saying, “These are fights that everyone wants to see. These are the 50-50 fights that the fans want to see and they’re going to pay attention to. The fans aren’t stupid anymore. They’re not dumb. Fans are catching on, that’s why boxing is not getting the one million PPVs anymore, until they [the fans] get what they want. If that Mayweather-Pacquiao fight happens, you’re going to see 3 million fans paying to see it happen; because that’s a fight everyone wants to see. “
As for his thoughts on Mayweather-Pacquiao, Bradley would respond.. “50-50!!” and in case anyone didn't pay attention the first time, Bradley would reply a second time… “That’s 50-50” and would finish off by saying, “that’s a tough fight,” as he would walk away to begin his workout.

this has been posted already a few weeks ago, but still good signs nonetheless.

Naw bro Bay Area had it right. That title goes to who he said. I only use the nut rider terms when someone uses it against me. I just throw it right back. I never once said someone was a rider until after they said to me. We are all fans here. The term I use mostly is biased which is a tru term. Got Em!!

It seems as though people are pretty firm in their stance on this entire subject. There are but a couple objective people on this entire fight IMO.
Having said that, BOTH fighters deserve the blame for this fight not happening, at various points.
It will take both agreeing and setting their egos aside.
I think Floyd is the better fighter in terms of skill. I think Pacquiao has been the better fighter in terms of accomplishment.
I think this fight is as even as it's ever been ahead of a possible matchup between the two.
I think Pacquiao has done a grip of stuff in his career that pissed me off like demanding large sums of money as a penalty for the opponent missing weight (Morales 3, Floyd). He didn't fight the best possible matchups at times, especially at 147. But what he's done has been incredible and unprecedented. He's an all time great and probably in the top 25-30 fighters of all time. A win against Floyd might put him in the top 15 or higher.
Floyd is great and from a technical standpoint, there have been few better in the history of boxing. His work ethic is incredible. He's marketed himself extremely well and he's one of the smartest fighters I can think of in the history of boxing. I've said for a long time, if he never went above 140 lbs, he might be considered one of the 10 best fighters of all time.
I've favored Floyd in this matchup since it's been discussed. I thought he was too skilled and cautious enough to win a decision. I wrote an article over 4 years ago detailing that: Manny Pacquiao: Follow This Blueprint and These Fighters Will Beat Him | Bleacher Report
But I feel like it's as close to 50/50 as it's ever been. All the b.s. aside, I just hope it happens.

so what you do is make a rule to where he comes in a pound over hes fined 10 mil? Lol you are not with the program. Nobody else in the history of boxing has even demanded a 1 million dollar fine for coming in overweight. That shit does not fly no matter what. But guess what Floyd accepted and your hero couldnt even give blood with a 14 day pass leading up to the fight. Yeah fuck everything Top Ranked including Roach. It was there fault the fight didnt happen originally.
don't start speaking with authority when you're wrong. Pacquiao demanded a ridiculous fee for Morales coming in overweight in their 3rd match. I believe it was a million (when you're talking about dudes at a weight that don't make anywhere near what a Floyd/Manny fight would yield financially), which is ridiculous. Morales did almost NO boxing training for that 3rd fight because he was so concerned about coming in overweight. He did football workouts, he was swimming, etc... He came in super ripped up and on weight, and got killed.
It's not the worst strategy in the world, and Roach/Pacquiao have done it more than once. There was a big fee for DLH and Mosely vs. Pacquiao too if I remember correctly.
and you guys assume way too much. My "hero?" lol I'm Mexican, I've spent most of the last 9 years hating Pacquiao. But as time has gone on, I appreciate what he's been able to accomplish, as I have with Floyd.

And i told you i threw it out there on some not even caring if it was true or not. You keep trying to go off that one thing. Tell me why would Floyd ever want to deal with Top Ranked again after Top Ranked was the ones that withdrew from the fight with 1st time? That was the best money Manny could of made and they still withdrew
