Roach on ESPN-"Fight will be tough to make"

Roach wants no part of Money May

 

If the deal gets done the best chance is if Freddie has a say in it. He's a lot more sensible than Arum. 50/50 is the right thing. They'll make so damn much money it'll be ridiculous. Arum should keep his trap shut and let Roach do the talking!

 

Isn't that just normal for Philla?

 

this fight will get done. Either guy can take a 60/40 share against another guy like Mosley or Cotto and still wouldn't make the money they'd get in a 50/50 split.

May-Pac simply blows all other fights out of the water in terms of revenue and it's a no brainer it will get done, eventually. It might take awhile, but the other options for either guy are less money to fight bigger guys like Mosley or Cotto.

 

i think Pac-Hatton's buy rate is all the evidence needed here. Cotto's problem is that he never fought DLH. Fighting DLH is a God send for fighters. The exposure is tremendous.

May-Cotto, huge fight, agreed. Big time, hope to see it one day. But, at this point, I think May-Pac clears it by hundreds of thousands of PPV buys.

 

How do you know that he's the better fighter?, have you secretly seen them fight?

Only a match between the two will decide who's the better fighter, if it doesn't it will keep a lot of boxing fans lost and outraged that's why it MUST happen. If Pacquiao is known to be the better fighter then there won't be pressure to make it happen, it's just your opinion and nothing else.

 

hell yes, floyd-hatton was bigger. That's not my point. My point is that after DLH, Pacquiao had that kind of draw. He's a known mainstream commodity now. Cotto isn't. It's about being mainstream. That's why i believe Mayweather-Pac blows out Mayweather-Cotto in buys at this point.

Mayweather-Cotto could garner 1 million. But i can see May-Pac at 1.5 milllion.

 

It's going to make more buys and easily, that's guaranteed. With the way Pac is looking at 140 only ******s and Mayweather haters will mention size as a factor. To be honest I have a feeling the fight will kick off with Mayweather being the underdog if it's official, it's already 50/50 for many fans and Mayweather's performance against Marquez will play a major role in how people think this fight will go.

 

That is why FLoyd will Duck Pacman. Bet you saw that coming didn't you.

 

You're asking me if I've seen them fight? Of course I have.

And in my opinion it doesn't necessarily take a fight between 2 fighters to decide who's better. For example I can tell you for a fact that Mosley is a better fighter than someone like Quintana even though they never fought. And sometimes even a fight between two fighters can't determine who is better because styles make fights.
