You really gotta love Roaches confidence, he likes a winner takes the bigger share setup, as mentioned towards the end of the interview. I see no legitimate reason for Floyd to not take this fight.. 50/50 plus winner gets a big bonus AND at 147. This fight is ON :happy
problem is, Roach can only recommend and advise. Hope the other advisers and that attorney of Pac would listen.
I like this, it puts the pressure on Floyd. That's what they need to do, he needs to know that his reputation is at stake and for the sake of his over grown ego he'll take the fight.
wow..all on floyd now....50/50 at 147 is as good as it gets.....ANYONE KNOW WHAT THEY RUMORS ARE WITH THE SIZE OF THE PURSE?? I READ SOME **** THAT STATED 70 MILLION... ANYONE ELSE HERE ANYTHING?
50-50 split is fair. Pbf was the p4p #1 but retiered and just recently came back pacbeast is the current p4p #1 and has been fighting consistently So kinda outweighs eachother sick of he excuses they are both gonna be free to fight pbf will have had better training time as PAC would and is still recovering and will be on a deserved break the world is interested in PAC not pbf. The reason is because Pac is he one who has fought in a way which makes him a modern day wonder. The hype is on him. You see if he doesn't fight pbf then he can fight jmm who is seeking that fight after the close bouts already and so ppl would be interested in seeing how they settle the score or he can fight mosley/berto winner to unify the ww division and to see how he does against ww champs pbf for all his excellent skills is just someone ppl tend to dislike and just want to see him lose and this is the big draw for him. B'cus he has a mouth which makes ppl hate him and ppl don't like "cherrypicked-esqued" resumes and 0 means nothing without the major names on it - not saying he hasn't any but not as many for someone who claims certain titles for themselves. But if he keeps making excuses ppl are just gonna leave him to rematch hatton et al and others will get on with their biz which would be a shame as he has mad skillz and a defensive master of boxing.
Can't understand some of Floyd's fans. Seriously, you can not be serious. Now, the fight can not happen, right. Floyd should have taken the Shane fight then. Shane might have agreed to 30-70. Plus, two non-Americans just outsold Floyd's last fight.
floyd-cotto would have done more than 1.25...floyd did a million with a guy who only did 400k with pac.....cotto-floyd does more buys....no facts to back it up right now other than the fact that cotto muders jmm when it comes to ppv buys....
Boxing wise IMO cotto-floyd would have been a better match-up....legit welters....the casual fan perspective will still see pacquiao as a small man, even though he is not as small as billed.....
