    Where the boxing is scenery.

    [FONT=&quot]“I honestly don't think he wants to fight Pacquiao. I think both fighters know that if they do the fight at 50-50, it's going to happen. My guy is definitely on board. We definitely want that fight. Mayweather I'm not so sure,” said Roach[/FONT]

    Would want 60-40 or 10 mil guaranteed each, winner gets the rest.

    Sounds like a fair offer but why the hell is Roach negotiating. Since when are trainers so involved in negotiations?

    I don't know, but he is confident as hell. $10 mil a piece and winner gets the rest, that's a bold statement.

    LOL because he is also Pacquiao's manager and Pacquiao's public speaker.

    He is the joke that helped Pacquiao developed as a boxer.

    Since when have we seen a trainer/boxer relationship like that of PAC and Roach. Roach has a lot of say in Mannys career b/c PAC allows it due to the trust he's earned as his "Master"...lol:lol: As long as he HELPS get the fight done I don't see a problem with it.

    Freddie just wants to feel important. That guy is seriously overrated. Pac made him, not the other way around.

    50/50 is the logical way to go. Although Floyd will keep pulling for more because every percentage he gets extra is hundreds of thousands more in his pockets.

    It'll get made though, don't worry.

    50/50 @ 147. If Floyd refuses that, there is no way you can say that he's NOT ducking Pac.

    Pac shouldn't settle for any thing less then 50-50. If any of them want more than 50, then it should be 60-40 to the winner.
