    Daniel Ponce de Leon v Abner MaresThe biggest fight in boxing history is said to be being negotiated. If you don’t believe it, I don’t blame you. But the news is there. Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao news has been all over boxing and news websites. Whether it’s Pacquiao and Arum putting the news out there that they want the fight, or Arum and CBS’ Les Moonves meeting for the fight, or Freddie Roach saying that Mayweather requested a rematch clause, it’s out there.

    This week it was reported by the Manila Bulletin that a collective 180 million dollars was guaranteed for a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. 100 million dollars would go to Mayweather and 80 million dollars would go to Pacquiao.

    But how realistic is that? And who’s behind that?

    Is it Oscar De La Hoya?

    He took to twitter and stated this “@Sportcenter, I’m prepared to put up the biggest guarantee in sports history, to give the fans #TheFight @MannyPacquiao @ FloydMayweather.”

    Whether De La Hoya is behind the 180 million dollar guarantee or whether it is even true is yet to be seen. But the positive part here is that there are moving parts outside of the usual suspects that are talking want the fight to happen.

    Stay tuned.
