Why Pacquiao gave in to Mayweather’s demands

This is the untold conversation during the final negotiation between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

FLOYD: “I want drug-testing!” MANNY: “Okay.” Floyd: “You use these gloves.” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “My name is Mayweather. I want the date to be on May 2!” Manny: “Okay. “Floyd: “I want the fight at the MGM!” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “We split the purse 60-40 in my favor!” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “If I lose, there will be a rematch!” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “If you lose, no rematch.” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “The fight will be at my weight.” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “I want the referee to be my countryman — an African-?American.” Manny: “Okay.” Floyd: “I will be the one to make the announcement that our fight is on!” Manny: “Okay.”

FRIEND: “Hey, Manny. You gave in to all his demands. Are you crazy?”

MANNY: “That’s how I treat everyone in our Death Row. We give all they want before the execution.”
