#UAE Group Offers $110 Million to Floyd Mayweather For Pacquiao Fight

The offers keep getting bigger, but until we hear Floyd Mayweather say he is listening, there is no reason to get your hopes up.

Here are the details via Boxing Scene.

An investment group from the United Arab Emirates has made an offer to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Mayweather Promotions to fight Manny Pacquiao during the first half of 2015.

Long-time boxing executive M. Akbar Muhammad, one of the principals in the group, has made an offer of $110 million, by far the largest in the history of boxing.

“I’ve been instructed by the group to do whatever it takes to bring this long-awaited and eagerly anticipated fight to fruition,” said Muhammad. “There’s absolutely no doubt that each fighter, individually, will receive more money than any other boxer has in the past.

“The combined purses offered are approaching $200 million,” said Muhammad. “And, rest assured, we have the resources to do just that.”

In addition to receiving a record-setting purse, Mayweather Promotions, LLC will be the lead promoter of the event and a partner with the investment group, said Muhammad.

The only part I find interesting is that Mayweather Promotions would be lead promoter. Bob Arum and Pacquiao say they will do anything for the fight, would they back down from being the lead or co-promoters?

We shall see.
