Roach wants 70-30 split for Pacquiao

[larry x]

freddy...you are not a promoter or a manager...shut the **** up and just train manny...70-30 is a ****ing joke

[FeFist]

People should start saying ''No'' on principle to these demans. 70-30 is an insult and if Cotto values his career shouldn't take it.

It's basically saying that he is the small fighter going into that match which I disagree with. 60-40 is as far as it should go in my honest opinion. They're making such demands because they know they can go ot someone else with that BS and they will likely accept. A form of extortion.

Further more, I am getting really pissed of with Roach now, to me the man is stepping over the line his job is to train Manny, last I checked Arum was Pacquiao's promoter.

he is looking out for the best interest for pac. he done it when murad muhammed was f##kin him up. he is going to retire soon so why not make the most and get what he deserves.

He doesn't deserve 70 percent.

[fcastro1]

He doesn't deserve 70 percent.

how does he not deserve 70 percent. cotto will still get the biggest paycheck of his career. he is on top of the sport.

LOl At this ****. Cotto brings more people than pacquiao to Arenas, and you take DLH and Hatton away, and Cotto have sell more PPVs than him too.

AHit is getting annoying reallY!!!!!!!

Wtf are you talking about? When the hell has Cotto brought anyone to Vegas? Don't even try to tell me that Cotto was the draw in the Margarito fight, because he was not.

He wasn't the draw at the gate, but he carried that to 450K buys.

Cotto is a draw in his own right. But he really has no cards to play right now. If he doesn't get the fight. He gets shut out of the welter tourney. Pac could end up with Mosley. And the winner of that fight gets to fight the winner of Floyd-Marquez. The losers of both fights eventually fight each other. All four will be involved in a 24/7 which will significantly raise their profiles. The four can basically fight each other and shut Cotto out.

Cotto is that great, dangerous fighter that everyone can avoid because he doesn't bring much to the bargaining table. Cotto will continue to sell out MSG but there's nothing much else for him. He might need to fight Paul Williams at some point. If you think losing 2 pounds to fight a jr. welter is unfair to Cotto wait until he has no choice left but fight Paul.

Homie you know the majority of boxing PPV's are from the western states right. Now when a Mexican with a large support group is fighting, this number only increases.

I don't know that. Maybe you're right, I'm not knowledgable enough on the subject to act like I know for a fact.

But my logic is that a huge part of the buys are from casual boxing fans, way more of which knew Cotto at the time. And, the dense population of the east coast has gotta result in a ton of PPV buys, all of which Cotto was responsible for. I look at it as Tony did most of the gate and most of the buys on the west coast, Cotto did the buys on the east and the majority of casuals.

But neither one of us really know I guess, so it's probably a moot point.
