Mayweather demands absurd - Arum
Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao will never happen unless 'Money' drops his pay demands, according to promoter Bob Arum.
Pacquiao agreed to split the proceeds from his last fight with Ricky Hatton 50-50, but his camp are insistent they will not do so again.
Mayweather for his part, insists that it is him who should be paid more if he meets Pacquiao.
Pacman's promoter Arum - who had an acrimonious falling out with Mayweather when the Grand Rapids fighter left Top Rank - insists that unless he moves from this stance a fight will never happen.
"Mayweather is taking the position that unless he gets more money, there will never be a fight - that's absurd," Arum said on Setanta Sports News.
"Manny is the most sought-after boxer on the planet.
"If Mayweather persists with this position, a fight will never happen."
A more realistic fight in the short-term would seem to be Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto, should he beat Joshua Clottey live on Setanta Sports 2 at 2am on Sunday morning (BST).
Arum, who also promotes Cotto, believes this fight would have as much appeal.
"If Cotto beats Clottey that's just as big a fight," Arum added.
