I will agree that Pac-Man looked shaky against Juan Manuel Marquez, but he brings in a tremendous amount of pay-per-view buy revenue. Pacquiao not getting a 50-50 split in the spoils is ridiculous and completely unfair from just about any standpoint. I'll take all the pay-per-view.' I don't accept that offer. "I said I would agree to a 50-50 (split), and he said, 'Oh, I'll give you a $40 million guarantee, and no pay-per-view. "I was in the Philippines, and I told him, 'We need to make this fight happen,' " Pacquiao said. Pacquiao recently divulged what was at the heart of a phone conversation between the two legendary boxers. The reality is they both want to get paid, and that means we all lose. Some say that Money May is ducking Pac-Man. That fact has everything to do with the sport's emphasis on posturing and getting the absolute last drop of juice from the low-hanging fruit. Manny Pacquiao will be fighting Timothy Bradley on June 9th, and not Floyd Mayweather on May 5th. Manny Pacquiao's brilliant career may fizzle out in drab fashion as the fight we all want to see continually gets brushed aside by greed.
