In the past, the camps of Mayweather, and Pacquiao reportedly have some failed fight negotiations.

The second negotiation happened on 2010 up to 2012 where Mayweather reportedly phoned Pacquiao (while the latter is in the Philippines) offering him $40Million flat for the fight. However, Pacquiao didn’t agree with it.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an undefeated five-division world champion while Manny Pacquiao is an eight-division world champion.
