Boxing News 2014: Dream Match Could Earn Mayweather Guaranteed Purse & PPV Share Of $80M, Pacquiao $60M

The ongoing social media war between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr could be an indicator of the exciting times ahead if the dream match between the two boxers would push through. That bout could provide both champions multimillion dollar payments that would be the envy of other professional athletes.

Boxing trainer Robert Garcia believes the hot exchanges of photos and tweets in Instagram and Twitter between Pac Man and Money May could actually lay the foundation for the two to finally agree and work to spar before they hang as their gift to boxing fans.

"If they're going back and forth that could probably say something. If you ask me I think that's a fight that probably won't happen, but if they're going back and forth there's a possibility," Garcia told esnewsreporting.com.

Other indicators include Mayweather bringing to his team Alex Ariza, the former strength and conditioning coach of Pacquiao. Besides the Filipino champ, Ariza had also coached Brandon Rios and Marcos Maidana.

While Garcia is still wary that the two rivals would be willing to swallow their pride and agree to the bout, he said earning $50 million in one fight as they approach retirement is not a bad idea. He added the $50 million could even be higher if shares of pay-per-view buys are included, which could boost Money May's total earnings in the dream match to $80 million and Pacquiao to $60 million.

While Garcia thinks Mayweather would win, he doesn't discount the possibility that Pacquiao could break Money May's unbeaten record and put a 1 on the loss. He explained, "Pacquiao is awkward, very fast ... He's too fast, he moves from one side to another. He's got power, Mayweather doesn't."

In the meantime, while social media sites are having a field day sharing the exchange of barbs between the two pound-for-pound contenders, HBO and Showtime/CBS are discussing the possibility of a joint pay-per-view scheme, said Top Rank Promotions head Bob Arum. Pacquiao is signed with HBO, while Mayweather has a 6-fight contract with Showtime, with the last two to be held in May and September 2015.

The root of the social media war is Pacquiao's comment on Mayweather's admission to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that two scenes on All Access were staged, although Showtime staff insist that Money May lied.
