Roach on ESPN-"Fight will be tough to make"

eventually both sides would have to agree to a 50-50 split if they want this fight to happen.

 

And it's pretty likely Cotto will leave soon so that would be another reason, so he can get the biggest money out of him before he's gone.

 

It cannot be clearer, Pac and Mayweather this fall will be the absolute peak of their drawing power. Arum will have a piece of that! He will not pass it up. There are too many what ifs afterward. What if Pac fights Cotto and Mayweather fights Mosley in the fall. What if Mosley wins and Cotto wins. You've got Cotto and Mosley left and that is a regular PPV drawing 400k-500k. Nothing. Sure May and Pac could still fight, but it'd be half the draw it could have been.

 

I agree it has a good chance to happen next but there will be so much **** with these negotiations. Since Floyd is having GBP co-promote him with his own company maybe he should let someone at GBP deal with Arum!

 

this would be the best case. GBP and TR would work this out nicely. on the other hand, arum-floyd would just make this fight seem too impossible to happen.

 

that's a given, man. Mayweather Promotions is a farce just like Hayemaker Promotions, etc...For what it's worth, Mayweather is a Golden Boy fighter now. He may have signed a deal to never be listed as a stable fighter, but that's what he is. The MP will get him a few more $$, but in the end, the mega fights against Top Rank opponents will be negotiated by GBP with his final approval.

 

True, and GBP is the best company to promote fights this big. I think Floyd may have success in the future as a promoter though. He sure has been promoting himself pretty good. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if he became a partner in GBP at some point.

 

absolutely, as a promoter for GBP he'd be great. Starting your own company and making it successful requires a lot of $$$ and work, though. That's why all these outfits are bull****. Left Hook Promotions? :-(

 

calling me dumbass?

coming from someone who said oscar would murder pac??

******.

the thing about you is you turn into a girl when someone like me exposes your stupidity. you act like a girl crying everytime i quote you. learn to deal with it and accept it. i dont run from a ****** like you especially if you dont have the bragging rights :rofl:rofl

i know your history and you cry a lot and you make so much excuses. when i confronted you before you are like stevie wonder ignoring facts.
so please. :-good

 

GUYS! I have fun reading your thread but enough of the sweet words to each other for the meantime..

:thumbsup

 

One of us isn't reading the others posts. I thought I'd go back and make a time line after my run, but now I don't care enough to do it. Oh well, some other time.

 

Roach meant to say, "Floyd is a counterpuncher on a bike."

 

Void is extremely spoiled. He wants his referee to protect him, his judges, his commentators, etc.

 

What the **** else would it be? Out of curiosity?

Its also fairly well validated. Pac has beaten legitimate ATGs close to their prime. He has moved up in weight very rapidly, putting himself at a big disadvantage, and beaten two of Floyd's biggest wins in much more convincing fashion.

Hes clearly a better fighter in a p4p sense at this point, and hopefully we will see who is the better Welterweight in the next 12 months.
