Floyd immediately prices himself out of the fight.

    Freddie Roach has laid down the law for the next megafight. He was asked by 8countnews.com if a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight could be made. He responded that it could, provided it is a 60/40 split in favor of Pacquiao.

    Roach was quoted as saying, "I think it will get done. I mean where is Mayweather going to go? What's he going to do, fight the winner of Berto vs Mosley? He doesn't want that either, he wants to make money also, and so does Manny Pacquiao. We will offer him a 60/40 split."

    Earlier this year Mayweather said that the fight could get done with a 60/40 split his way.

    This is the usual bargaining position the top fighters in the world take. They both feel they are the best and want their due. But sometimes the talk spills over into full blown resentment and because of that the world has missed out on some great fights.

    The key here is the animosity that so many of the principals have for each other. Floyd Mayweather dislikes Bob Arum. Freddie Roach dislikes Floyd Mayweather, Sr, who is now part of team Mayweather.. Remember when I use the word dislike, I'm trying to add a positive spin to the situation.

    Fights have been made by fighters and promoters that hated each other. So this fight being made is not out of the realm of possibility. It would actually be a great injustice if this fight were not made.

    The bull headedness of the 60/40 split can be diverted. Manny Pacquiao will probably not give much ground on the 60/40. Mayweather will probably not give in at all to his 60/40 demands.

    The solution would be simple. Since each man believes that he is the pound for pound king, maybe they could resolve their problem the old school way. Let the fighters sign on at 40% each. The winner would get the additional 20%.

    Of course the loser would complain that the wrong man got the decision. But with additional millions on the line, the fight would have the possibility of going down as one of the greatest of all time.

    Talk about this **** bitches

    What is there to talk, man? Split the purse 50/50 and let's get it on. Now, Mayweather starts bitching again.We all expected that anyway.:deal

    Everybody knows PAc will take 50/50 even if Roach was quoted once different.

    It is obvious Pbf(Pretty broke floyd) came back because of money issues. He had a car repossessed, is being sued, and owed 6+ million in back taxes.
    http://ctrlyourcash.wordpress.com/2...ale-coming-soon-to-an-auction-house-near-you/

    His talent and skill is undeniable. It is also undeniable that he has a big mouth, and ends up making himself look like an immature idiot. And constantly underperforms. Demanding a 60/40 split is laughable. He isn't being a shrewd businessman(did you guys read the article from the link???). He's shown himself actually to be totally inept with money. He plays with it, probably sleeps with a large amount of cash, like a child sleeps with his toys. But he is the classic example of a fool with money problems. He then whines like a lil ***** when American fans do not embrace him. If he actually showed some class (he cannot be totally blamed, look at his father and uncle.......) he would be far more popular than he is. His attitude and stupidity got him into the role of villain for his fights. His outright jealousy and resentment of the golden boy was plain to see when he would go on tirades about why he wasn't as popular as him. It's obvious the boys mother pampered his ass too much.

    Now, with his p4p crown resting on an actual deserving mans head, he looks to be in a midst of a crisis. Manny is everything he should've been. Manny is getting all of the accolades he should've received. By Boxings foremost experts no less. And Pbf has no one to blame but himself.
    Manny is truly made from the old cloth. He is an ATG. Pbf painted himself into this corner.

    Ha...how is Floyd always the one to blame? I guess he's responsible for crack, aids, 9/11, the economy, gas prices, the JFK assassination, and Britney Spears career falling off too, huh?:patsch

    If floyd doesnt want it.....then pac should wait for the winner of Berto-Mosley...55 to the winner and 45 to the loser is the best deal.....another option for pac....take on foreman for 8th belt in 8th division

    Man I know, I was just tryin to be sarcastic. Maybe I should have named another possible opponent than Bradley so you guys get I was just joking , like Devon Alexander...

    Don't worry, of course I want to see Pac-Mayweather just like you all do. But Mayweather fighting somebody like Bradley instead now would be very typical of him.

    And you should know I never backed up Mayweathers word either, I'm not a big fan of his (though he is a great boxer). On the contrary, I gave him no credit for beating the much smaller JMM and disrespecting him by not even making the agreed weight on top of that.
