Mayweather-Pacquiao: Both Sides Taking Hard Lines

[toyboy33]

50/50 and 147. Pac can come in at 145 if thats his desire.

50/50 and 147. Pac can come in at 145 if thats his desire.

Took the words right out of my mouth... or mind.... or keyboard... whatever
my point exactly

There is no reason why this fight shouldn't be 50/50. And there's no reason why this fight shouldnt' be at the WW limit. I mean the man has a WW title for peace sake!

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach will demand a 60-40 split in Pacquiao's favor and a catch-weight of 145-pounds. [/QUOTE]

Yo, am I the only one reading this!!!? I can't be. As boxing fans ya'll need to speak up. I like Pacquiao but Roach is making everyone drop down to 145lbs to fight them for the 147lb belt. BullS*** and ya'll know it. If Manny wants to fight for a 147lb belt, make the weight! Bottom line Mayweather is the bigger draw, Manny is the more exciting fighter because of his knock outs. Mayweather should get more money but not by much.

They ought to go for an even split with the winner getting the other 20%. 60-40 to the winner. A true championship fight. I also say either the sponsors or sanctioning bodies should throw in an additional 10% of the total purse if the winner wins by KO. Hopefully this would guarantee action on both sides. And **** that 145 catchweight bull**** like someone said earlier Pac is the WBO champion at welterweight so that catchweight **** is over.

[-Swizzy-]

both have a great argument for getting the bigger cut. I say they agree to 50/50 or like I read somewhere else in another post, 40-40 and 20 goes to the winner. its really hard to say who is the bigger draw between them.

and the 145 **** is ridiculous. roach should get off that ****. mayweather won't agree to that, as he shouldn't.

[theggamme209]

147 the true welterweight limit, and I say a 60/40 split. The winner gets 60, the loser gets 40. Manny wants to fight welterweights, no more of this ****** catch weight stuff!!

[C.Y.]

roach just admitted that for the most part manny needs guys that come forward in order for him to be most effective. and thats what i have been telling people, i cant see manny beating floyd because floyd is a defensive fighter who will move around... manny needs a stationary target.. and whats with the constant draining of the weight with this catch weight bs? pac vs may aint gonna happen at 145.. and as far as split, they should do 50/50

[SkillspayBills]

OMG shut the **** up about cuts! It's starting to piss me off. Just make the damn **** happen and fight. BOTH of you guys are going to be ****** ****ing rich after this fight just make it happen.

Mayweather will kick Pacquio ass anyday anytime. Holler

pac will literally break down and kill the overhyped mayweather!! holler!! lol

[bluetuazon]

Why is roach ready to fight anyone else in March but he want to push a fight with floyd back to may or june... He just talks to much.. One minute your fight will batter him the next you need 6 or 7 months to get him ready..

ehem because he will run for congress in the philippines on may....
