Roach: "50-50 Gets it Done"

50/50 is being kind in my opinion. Pac honestly deserves more.

 

if you spent serious time at Wild Card watchin' Freddie fine-tune every move with Pac, 'n go over-'n-over strategy, you'd re-think that, BR

 

the fight will get done.....i would be shocked if we dont have a signed deal by the end of feb.

 

60-40 winner gets the bigger half both are confident so why not.

 

That's interesting. I looked over the act (15 U.S.C. §6309) and what I saw was a disclosure requirement about the compensation contracted for and whatever fees the promoter is taking as consideration for his work in arranging the event. While I haven't looked over the all the cases, this doesn't seem to necessarily preclude a contingent portion of the purse set aside for the winner of the bout. Also, wouldn't that also apply to the common contracting practice in these PPV bouts of guaranteeing a certain minimum figure and making the rest of the fighter's earnings based upon buy numbers?

There's a relevant case on the disclosure requirement, Main Events Productions, LLC v. Lacy, 358 F.Supp.2d 391 (D.N.J. 2004), but that deals with whether Main Events satisfied the provision by providing the information to Jeff Lacy's manager, Shelly Finkel, instead of to Lacy himself. Again, let me know if I'm looking in the wrong direction. This is curious stuff.
