MANNY PACQUIAO SUED WAITER WANTS HIS CUT FOR SETTING UP MAYWEATHER FIGHT

Mayweather -Pacquiao would never have happened if a Hollywood waiter didn' t get involved .. . so claims the waiter who ' s suing to get a chunk of the financial windfall from the fight of the century .
Gabriel Salvador says he was a waiter at West Hollywood hot spot Craig ' s when regular customer and CBS honcho Les Moonves came in for a meal. Salvador , an avid boxing fan , says he told Moonves he could set up a meeting with Manny Pacquiao ' s trainer, Freddie Roach - - which , he thought, would be the first domino in making the fight happen .
According to docs obtained by TMZ Sports . .. Salvador eventually got all 3 men together at Scarpetta in Bev Hills in May 2014 . For setting up the sit down , Salvador says he told all parties he wanted a " customary finder ' s fee" of 2 % of gross proceeds earned by Pacquiao , Roach and CBS / Showtime from the fight .
In the suit , he says Moonves and Roach agreed to the terms and Roach even said , "You will never have to work another day as a waiter in your life . "
Salvador admits he got a ticket to the fight , one night at a Vegas hotel and a $ 10 , 000 check to cover expenses .
After the fight , he says Moonves told him CBS didn ' t make any money on the fight , and he' d have to collect his fee from Pacquiao and Roach. But Salvador says Keith Davidson , an attorney for Manny and Freddie, tried to strong arm him into accepting $ 50 ,000 - - and if he didn ' t he would lose his job and never land any acting gigs.
Yes , like most waiters in this town ... he ' s also an aspiring actor.
Salvador , who ' s still waiting tables , is suing Manny, Freddie , Keith Davidson and CBS for his finder ' s fee .. . which he estimates at $ 8 .6 million.
Sources connected with CBS tell us Salvador had nothing to do with setting up the fight and this is him trying to score a payday after the fact .
