#TheMoneyTeam: Floyd Mayweather Wants $250 Million Super-Fight Against Manny Pacquiao

The fight everyone wants to see is finally going to happen. Floyd Mayweather has called out Manny Pacquiao to fight him on May 2 - but only if he receives a much bigger share of the purse. "We are ready. Let's make it happen. May 2. Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao. Let's do it," he said in a Showtime interview broadcast from San Antonio. Unbeaten in 47 fights, calls himself TBE - The Best Ever - yet Pacquiao has been waiting to fight him for what seems an eternity.
Showtime, who have given Mayweather a $250 million six-fight contract, have demanded that he put up or shut up. Influential Top Rank promoter Bob Arum revealed he has been in talks with leading executives from CBS, the owners of Showtime. Now it looks as if pressure is being applied for Mayweather to earn his corn.

A Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, on and off around the negotiating table, is estimated to be worth upwards of a quarter of a billion US dollars. "I would love to fight Manny Pacquiao. We tried to make the fight happen years ago; we had problems with random blood and urine testing," Mayweather added. "I just want to be on an even playing field. Now he's in a very, very tight situation. He's lost to Marquez (the great Mexican), he lost to Bradley. I wanted that fight a long time ago. I'm just waiting on them. Of course, we have to make the fight happen on Showtime pay-per-view, because 'Showtime Championship Boxing' is No 1 and will remain No 1. I'm the man. I'm here to stay.

"I know that he's not on my level. The fans would love to see the fight. And, of course, I want to go out with a bang." Mayweather then made his clarion call. "So let's make this fight happen.
