PBF's 154 lbs and 10 oz gloves = EMBARASSING

Maybe Rafael can be called credible now.

147.

8 oz.

50-50.

Like I said...Roach is just talking ****.

 

If PBF does not fight Pac at 147 he will not get credit for the win.

 

go to espn and catch up...its 147 all the way

 

You are fast approaching farmboxer area as the worst poster here. Did you brother to actaully read the article???

But i guess roach WHO is in the UK while this is going on in the US would have made him the best source of information...

 

He isnt going to get any credit for beatting him at 147:good

 

According to ESPN, Pacquiao already signed.

147 and 8 oz. gloves.

 

"Manny Pacquiao has signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in boxing's biggest fight on March 13, a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com on Friday night."

Again, it ain't official yet.

 

uhh, i'm not getting this logic. so you're saying Mayweather got lowballed?

 

Void is void.

 

I guess you can now cross off one name on that list:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

" Pac countered 147, 8 oz gloves, 50/50.

Manny Pacquiao COUNTERED (meaning PBF's original offer were just bullcrap) on the following:
Weight to be at 147 so most likely it was at 154.
Gloves to be at 8 oz so most likely it was at 10 oz.
Purse split to be at 50/50 so most likely it was 60/40.

*********** and other sites are reporting 154, 10 oz. so this is nothing new. Google it for f*cks sake.

Good night NOW!

Few things,
1.)You haven't proven that Roach knew about those negotiating factors when he made the interview vs. talking out of his ass or talking about a hypothetical aspect of "negotiations, like"(I think you realize that possibility though as you say "most likely")

2.)You haven't provided any sources other than that sky interview, which isn't in and of itself definitive proof as to the status of the negotiations. (so if the other "google" hits for 154 and 10oz gloves also use the same source (the freddie sky roach interview) then it really doesn't add anything to the discussion.

3.)it's further called into question by comments that roach made just a few hours later: http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/10464558/Sources:-Pacquiao-Mayweather-fight-on-for-March
:""One hundred and forty seven is ok with us," said Roach, "but we're still working on some of the other stuff like the gloves. I'm sure (Mayweather) wants 10-ounce gloves. We want eight ounces. But Bob told me he'll take care of all that."
Suggesting , that it was the gloves that was the hang up, not the weight (maybe the mayweathers already agreed to the counter offer, told arum, then arum told roach, all in time before that interview.... or maybe not, it's speculation, like much of everything, from our perspective as fans)

4.)Just to reiterate, you assume that Roach is speaking truthfully and from knowledge, an assumption that some just don't want to make based upon both his seeming vacillating demands and prior assessments of what the mayweather camp wanted(i.e. on the march date, claiming of floyd's camp : ""We want to fight in March, They don't want to go that early"(http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5iPShKhPdAz9qhZwuR0ZsoSFAouKA), which was thrown to question just 24 hours later and then roach HIMSELF saying later: “The March date would be too early. It has got to be May.”(http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/sport/...achine-but-needs-12-week-camp-for-mayweather/). So some people want additional sources to freddie for these things, maybe you don't but that's just one thing people are going to have to agree to disagree on,just a matter of opinion & trust from many of our perspectives really

I'm not making any claim as to what went on during the negotiations, but if you are the burden of proof is on you, and in order to do so you have to eliminate the alternatives. If you're just stating your opinion based on what "evidence" you've seen, then that's fine, as long as it's recognized for what it is.

 

there is no reason for this to be at 154 so i cant believe why someone would believe this

 

If that's what give you sanity Divac, then we will let you hold on to the idea of yours. A schooling is when you end up unscathed, still pretty -boy after the fight, not one where a plastic surgeon has to do his job to arrange back your face.

 

Why don't they just come with what size of gloves they prefer. Mayweather with a 10 ounces, whilke Pac with an 8 ounces or better, bare fisted.
