    He's an overrated middleweight. Can he even make 147 anymore?

    @ 147? Bull****. Williams would not have refused to fight Martinez @ 154 if he could still make the kind of weight you're talking about.

    Williams is not a big name. Mosley has already fought the toughest fights. Now it's his turn to get the biggest ones. Williams should stop whining, keep winning, and someday he'll be in the same position.

    There's no way because he refused to fight Martinez @ 154 so now the best two fighters @ 154 are fighting @ 160.

    This is was just weeks after his trainer said he was @ 155. That's all BS.

    Money needs Pacman more than vice versa, but still 50 -50 is fair

    Roach is right to talk. he is a key part of the Pac team. The more hype the better. Everyone knows they want the fight at 50-50 and if they don't get it it's because they are chasing a coward.

    Getting a bit silly. A Catchweight and 60/40? Didn't Floyd have better PPV buys when he fight Hatton and Oscar in comparison to Pac? Seriously, the fight should be at 147 with a 50/50 split. If it's a catchweight, then Floyd should get the lions share. Pretty simple to me, or winner could get the 60 like in the Hopkins vs Roy fight.

    And, I got to say, I'm getting a little sick of Manny. I know he's sensational and all but let's be honest. He isn't as modest or as great of a sportsman as most percieve him to be. He's goofy and nice, but everyone puts this guy on some sort of pedestal as being the ultimate good guy cover athlete. I mean, I don't see how this sort of stuff is necessary after the Cotto fight.

    Manny has a big ego, and he has you fooled too. Everything he does is all for his image. Yes, Manny is a nice good guy, but not the length everyone thinks here. Everyone seems to think he's the most modest sportsman of all time. Heck, it's not that different than Floyd. He's carving up his image - the only thing is he has done it by making him the bad guy. Doesn't mean Floyd is an evil villain in real life all the time too.


    Hopefully the fight happens. I think I'll probably be rooting for Floyd.

    60/40 iz a fair starting pt 4 negotiations.

    Manny deff deserves the bigger purse if its at WW. JWW could be even or close to it.

    First Roach says Floyd is fragile and small now he's saying a catchweight with a 60/40 split. This Guy doesn't want the fight. Can you imagine if Floyd pulled this ****?

    Wish Roach would STFU. Both fighters are a huge draw, any fight with Floyd is huge and the same for Manny, 50/50 split @ 147 and lets get this **** on!!!

    Nah he dont need Pac. He could fight Mosely, Williams move to 154, or see if he can get middleweights to meet him at 157 or 58. Its a fight that fans want to see, but floyd dont NEED pac.

    This **** with Roach is nothing new, he has been saying this sh*t all along, which is why I dont understand why so many people thinks that its going to get made. Floyd isnt going to fight at a Pacweight nor is he going to fight for 40%.

    Watch how this plays out, Team pac is going to play hardball knowing that if the fight doesnt come off it will be blamed 100% on Floyd.
