FMJ wants 70/30 says Roach....

FMJ is rediculous and not reasonable at all. A nice way to duck the fight. Roach 'positive' over Mayweather-Pacquiao fight ESPN staff January 20, 2012 « Fergie quickly ends Welbeck contract speculation | Wilson banned for four years after appeal failure » Freddie Roach: "We've been chasing him (Mayweather) for two years now"Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has told ESPN that he believes the much anticipated and highly demanded fight between his man and Floyd Mayweather Jnr will go ahead, and said he believes the latter has been avoiding a meeting with his man. Mayweather contacted Pacquiao personally this week to further discuss the potential match-up, with May seeming to be the most likely date when the two will finally pit their skills against one another. The duo had been close to agreeing a fight once before but negotiations broke down, and Roach underlined the growing expectation that WBO welterweight champion Pacquiao and WBC title holder Mayweather will face one another. "Now it's just about negotiations and who gets what. I think that's a positive sign that the fight will happen," Roach told PTI US on ESPN, before responding to a question about whether he was of the opinion that Mayweather had been ducking Pacquiao. "I do," said Roach. "We've been chasing him for two years now and he is just so crazy about keeping that zero on his record because he can say he's better than Sugar Ray Robinson and all these great fighters. It's not a disgrace to lose, but I think in his mind he'll lose that argument that he's the best fighter ever because he's never been beaten." May 5th is being touted as a very likely date for the fight but Pacquiao's camp have been talking about a November meet. "May 5th is kind of soon," said Roach. "For a fight of this magnitude to happen you need time, you've got to promote the fight right, and again it's about negotiations: who's going to get what. Is it going to go 50/50? He (Mayweather) wants 70/30, there are a lot of details to be worked out and the May 5th date is a little bit soon. "Manny had that cut in the last fight and we want that to heal properly so we were looking forward to a June date, but I think realistically for this big a fight we would have to spend more time promoting it. I don't think that's something we would want to rush." Responding to a Twitter barb from Mayweather in which he told Pacquiao to "Step Up, Punk", Roach continued: "He's talking s***. Again, we've been chasing him for two years and we agreed to all the blood testing he wanted to do, he wants to make all the rules, he'll only fight in Las Vegas, he won't fight at the bigger venues like Texas and so forth that a fight of this magnitude might need. "He wants to call all the shots but that's just not going to happen. Me as a fan, I want to see the fight happen as soon as possible. Give me eight weeks to get Manny ready, and I'll do my job." Roach also affirmed his belief that Mayweather would be undone by what he views as Pacquiao's superior style. "Styles make fights and Mayweather's style does pose problems, and we do have difficulties with the kind of punchers like Marquez, but a guy that averages 85 punches a round like Pacquiao against Mayweather who averages 15 punches a round, I think we'll overwhelm him at the end," he stated.
