    "Arum called me and i told him that i don't have any problems with the fight being at 145 pounds. In fact, i don't care if Cotto wants to weigh 200 pounds" says roach.

    cotto is getting killed....if roach is that confident, remember the crystal ball prediction....of the 3 rounds or less of hatton.....

    70-30 split is fair. He's getting the money that he should have gotten against ricky 48% for 2 rounds and ODLH 67% for 10 rounds.

    I think Cotto is in over his head here.

    I feel the split is reasonable.

    Or compare to PBF-JMM 80-20 split... 70-30 for PAC-Cotto is fair enough, $16.8 million for PAC and $7.2 million for Cotto from the total purse of $24 million... Assuming this fight gets the same $24M purse as PAC-Hatton...

    Exactly, if Roach is THAT confident then this may be over sooner than 5 rounds. Should be entertaining while it lasts.

    I love Cotto, I just cant see him finding the target in this one.

    I mean its not that hard to envision.

    I way disagree with 70/30 split in Pac favor. Cotto did 450k vs Margarito for goodness sake while Pacquiao did million buys vs the ppv top draw in De la hoya and 850k vs Hatton who did 920k vs Mayweather. Come pare that to Cotto doing 450k vs Margarito shows Cotto deserve the 40 percent split. But lucky for Pac, Cotto doesn't cry about percent cause he'll still get maybe his biggest payday.

    Cotto and Pacquiao should just do a face-to-face interview and have Cotto say 60-40 I'll kick yo ass

    If they're asking 70/30 That means it'll probably end up closer to 60/40.

    If roach is THAT confident i think he should let the fight be at 147 so as to further solidify pacs greatness in case he wins.

    145, 60/40 should do it.
