    All that talk of Oscar being cheap is BS as you can see. Although its not 2 mil its still a pretty penny and there is no "only if I win" in what he is making. Reading this it really makes me think that it wasn't really about the money but the distractions and what the fight would turn into if it was a family feud.
    I'm happy for Roach.. I don't really like him but he deserves it. Does anyone know if he will get a bonus ontop of this if he wins or will this be it?? 1.3 I'd be more than happy with that ****!

      so it's basically compensation for roach, 3 paydays rolled into one for a one time deal, not bad for freddie.
      I thought he dropped Manfredo and Leonard was gonna train him??

        Oscar doesn't "HAVE" to pay him more he did because he wanted to.. he is gonna make more than Vazquez and Pac could offer him.. I think Oscar is just paying for the quality and to make sure he will be there 100 percent

          Oscar should tell everyone that Roach is getting $2,000,001.

            well i mean it's understandable that he is getting paid more, he dropped a fights to train dlh, and dlh knows roach is the best quality trainer for him for mega fight in may, he understands that roach deserves a big pay day

              Floyd may not be a complete fighter to Roach, but he makes the most of what he can do in the ring.... exploiting his advantages in speed and reflexes... the question is... how long can Floyd keep doing this (relying on his speed & reflexes against bigger opponents)...??
              i don't know how long he can, but he will be able to do it in the immediate future. One day when he is older and those reflexes and speed isn't quite there, then he might be not quite the virtuoso

                P4P baby!!! and you were criticizing saying he can't stand toe to toe, that's criticism

                      What do you expect to hear from the guy who's training PBF's opponent, "Floyd is P4P the best fighter I've seen in my life & my boy Oscar doesn't stand a chance"????? Even if Mayweather Sr trained Oscar, he'd talk a lil **** 'bout his own son, a trainers #1 job is to keep his fighter motivated. The trick is to pick sense out of nonsense, don't look to deep into what Freddie said, any valuable trainer would talk the same jive. Now Can u Dig Dat!!!
