50-50 is not that bad for chicken floyd but for pacquiao. pac deserved the bigger pie.

but if only to get the fight done, get it on!

the problem now is chicken floyd. he's known to duck real champions!

Roch is not in the position to give financial advice, that's Arum and Konz' job. We all know that Mayweather got a 10mill guarantee when he fought JMM and Pacquiao got 7mill for the Cotto fight. With that said, why on earth would Mayweather accept another 10mill for a Pacquiao fight? Yes for Pacquiao it makes sense since its more money than he made with Cotto. On the other hand Pacquiao also wants a lot of money and that was proven in the Hatton fight. So, where else is he going to get this much money.
Roach needs to concentrate on what he does and let the other members of the team do their jobs. He’s a f#@king trainer. On the fight Roach should know better than to compare the De la Hoya fight to this one, Pacquiao is not De la Hoya. If Roach failed with De la Hoya what makes him think he can do it with Pacquiao, a very open fighter. See unlike Cotto, Floyd will stick to what works against Pacquiao and the fight will be done and dusted. Look at round 1 of the Cotto-Pacquiao fight to see what works. Cotto made the mistake of slugging with Pacquiao and that’s the reason for the knock down in round 4. With Floyd there won’t be any slugging so you can expect as a$$ whooping for 12 rounds.

This.

I see the fight being competitive for around four rounds, before Floyd takes control with his jab to the body (which he'll use to keep Pac off-balance) and lead rights hands. Every time Pac tries to unload his left hook, Floyd will either cover up with his high guard (something Cotto didnt do nearly enough) or drill Pac with a straight right hand.

Mayweather is master of spacing and timing and his 5 inch reach advantage spells disaster for Pacquaio. He will come to the ring with a clearly-defined gameplan like he always does and pick Pacquaio apart. Even allowing for tactical adjustments, he has shown he is more capable of making these when needed (Judah, DLH).

[GG Marquez]

Freddie Roach, trainer and sometimes business advisor to WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, admits that a 50-50 deal is the only way to finalize a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Both sides are asking for a bigger piece of the money. At the end of the day, Roach would advise Pacquiao to accept a 50-50 deal if it gets the fight done. Roach still has doubts that Mayweather actually wants the fight. Roach would like to see a deal with both fighters agree to an equal guarantee and the winners gets more money. [details]

This was before Roach realized that Floyd would actually take it.

Floyd called the bluff.
