Roach says he wants 60/40 in favor of PAC and the fight can happen

You're a funny guy.

 

Jesus, we've been going through this posturing since the DeLa Hoya fight. You'd think that some of you morons would figure it out by now.

 

I hope it's at 147! But the split is going to be a *****. FLoyd wants 60% and so does Roach. Hopefully PAC's PPV #'s don't eclipse Floyd's. B/c if PAC does beat Floyd in the PPV category that means Floyd has no barganing chip to get the lions share. At least if he can hold on to his PPV King title he'll be able to justifiably get at least 50/50. The fight should be at 147. PAC is filling out nicely and gettin getting accustomed to weights above 140. 147 shouldn't be an issue...although 146 might be a decent weight given the fact that floyd had no problems making 146 in his last fight.:yep

 

Roach plays a more vital role than most trainers in the career of his fighter and Roach has a lot of leverage b/c PAC trusts him. It's not a typical boxer/trainer relationship. ARum and Roach had a rough past and Arum doesn't want to **** Roach off given the fact that PAC listens to Roach more than anyone else and PAC is Arum's new DLH.

 

Floyd is doing a great job himself of preventing the fight from happening by pricing himself out.

 

Well...Floyd runs his own show...PAC relies on Roach kind of like a father/advisor. Vastly different relationships. And to make a point.....Roach has NEVER prevented a fight from happening for PAC.....if anything he got the fights made....but got his fighter more money.

 

I really want to see this fight but if I'm Floyd I guess **** his fight and the fans unless they offer him what his worth and thats 65%

 

2 millionaires.....

The 2 best p4p boxers on earth.....

The fans that made them rich demand this fight.....

It will be beyond tragic if this fight does not happen.....

Both are mega stars at this stage that should not be forced to bow down or concede anything to anyone as they worked hard to be on top.....



All of the above is true & when you take this on board, the only fair deal is a 50/50 split... whoever refuses to fight by demanding more should be lynched, seriously.

Im done with money talk now, its the thing I detest most in this great sport, its like a cancer (see RJJ-Hopkins II in 2002 for details... or maybe not) :-(

 

roger maywather says "60 for my nephew and pacquiao can get that ass whipped like the rest of em motha****as"

 

Floyd did do better numbers in the past....At the moment Floyd is the biggest PPV draw this year. We'll have to wait and see what PAC's PPV numbers do and then compare their most recent PPV events and who is the bigger draw presently.

Floyd and PAC are who they are. I'm sure PAC isn't always as nice and has his moments and I'm sure Floyd is not always "MONEY MAYWEATHER". But the fact is....Floyd likes the role of bad guy....he does it well and he is cocky which he feeds off of.

Manny on the other hand likes to be the good guy...never saying anything bad about his oppoents...giving them praise and respect after the fights and being humble. They both chose their characters...which one is more accurate to who they are in real life no one knows. But Manny has the love and support of a country and the US fans think of him as the good guy.....Floyd...has to be the bad guy b/c thats the direction he took.

 

Correct me if Im wrong but I assumed that the Cotto fight would have put to bed ANY questions over Pacquiao being too small for WWT... maybe its just me :nut

 

Gotta laugh at the floyd-huggers.

 

He punchdrunk,he doesn't even take part in negotiations.He doesn't even have Pacquiao's number

 

Some of you dude are worse than bitches. After May-Marquez did a million you felt Floyd deserved more after a less than entertaining performance against a greatly undersized guy. Now it seems Pac-Cotto will do much more and Pac should now split the purse.LMFAO.
