Most readers of this site are repeat customers. They know who Pacquiao is as well as the other names in boxing. I hope Mr Nathanieltz would refrain from making a lot of introductions and get straight to the main course. A 52-48 is fair enough, I guess. Pacquiao people don't have to push it hard.Comment

52% of about 60 million is allot of money. If Manny does not take this, it is certain that he is looking for a way out of the fight. Let's hope the contract gets signed.Comment

Roach speaks out:
"AMERICAN trainer Freddie Roach has had enough of the “revenue split issue” ... Roach said Pacquiao is being given the wrong impression that money will come from whatever percentage of the pay-per-view buys his handlers are angling for in the proposed bout.
"According to Roach, all Pacquiao needs to realize is the guaranteed purse that is being offered him which, added the famed trainer, is almost triple of what Hatton will get.
"Roach is at a loss as to why his calls are not being answered or returned by Pacquiao.
"“If I can talk to Manny, I can explain to him the reason the guarantee is important."Comment
