Manny may take less for Mayweather
Print Edition
MANNY Pacquiao is open to taking a smaller purse in a dream match-up with undefeated American Floyd Mayweather, the Philippines boxing hero’s business manager said yesterday.
“The talks are already going on. It is more of what the fans want. It’s not about the pay (level). That’s the least of his concerns,” Pacquiao’s business manager Eric Pineda said.
In 2012, there was speculation that a fight between the two could lead to the first US$200 million purse in boxing history.
Sunday’s fight saw Pacquiao knock down Chris Algieri six times, convincing fans that the Filipino, who turns 36 next month, remains in shape to face Mayweather, 37, who has a 47-0 record and has won world titles at five different weights, but a defeat at the Filipino’s hands could blot that streak.
Mayweather has previously demanded a bigger share of the fight purse. Other conditions, including a blood test, have delayed any fight between the two despite hopes of a huge payday.
