May be from this http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_5745429,00.html He says "There's always negotiations, like he (Mayweather) wants 10oz gloves we want 8oz gloves, stuff like that, the weight he wants is 154lb, we want 147, so there's some issues but I think it can be solved."
I don't think Roach makes these things up at all. He knows more than anyone, except the fighters,promoters themselves and others really close. He knows what's what.
Roach also said "There's always negotiations, like he (Mayweather) wants 10oz gloves we want 8oz gloves, stuff like that, the weight he wants is 154lb, we want 147, so there's some issues but I think it can be solved" According to Roach he outright asked for 10oz gloves, and 154.
Pac a moment ago confirmed the fight on march in an interiew at abs-cbn. The fight seems done already. Im so excited.
He's been making **** up for months. He claimed Mayweather didn't want to fight in March, the next day Mayweather agrees to fight in March or May. When that happened, then Roach claimed March was too soon. Roach said Pac could fight Mayweather ar 147, then he came out of nowhere talking about a catchweight. Speaking of catchweights, nodoby else has even mentioned it. Let's also not forget about the Yuri Foreman **** he threw out there. Roach has no clue when it comes to the negotiations, he's pretty much in the dark. Why would anyone believe the newest nonsense he's throwing out there? You can't even have a 25 foot ring in Vegas. He's only fought at 154 lbs. once, and he weighed in at 150 for that fight, and he's expressed his disdain for 10 oz. gloves.
jesus christ people, just chill out....The only reason mayweather wants it at 154 is because during the negotiations, paquiao prolly wants it at 140...so they'll settle on 147...Just like they both want 60/40, itll be settled 50/50 i gurantee it...Its all part of negotiating, itll all work out in the end and well get a 50/50 split on a 147 bout, jus watch
good neither fighter belongs at 154 anyways so theyd both be at a disadvantage making things equal they should do it! :nut
