    i think pacquiao's natural weight is 140. why not fight at 140 then?
    if they fight at 147 floyd will weigh around 154 fight night.

    they should meet in the middle which is 145 since its easier to gain than lose pounds.
    Are you insane? He is the WW champ! Why fight at 145? Who cares how much Floyd will weigh on fight night? Pac wanted to be a champ at WW, now defend your title at 147, not less! I'm tired of this catchweight bull****!

      If Pacquiao is going to demand a fight at 145 then he needs to throw his welterweight belt in the damned trash and downgraded to 6-time champ.

        The weight is unimportant, Manny proved he is world class at WW.

        50/50 is more than fair.

        Let's see what PBF's excuses are now...

          Why the fck is roach taking over negotiations??? He is a trainer, not a manager. So roach cant call purse splits, this is up to Arum and Pac.

            It's all up to mr.contradiction if this fight would push. I really hope he doesn't get too greedy.
            I don't care about the split to be honest. Just want to see the fight made.

                    Good to here, 50/50 is the fairest deal IMO... I aint sure what Manny and Arum will say cause both sides have said they want the lions share but its still good to see Roach say that 50/50 is fair. It sould be at 147 also...

                      why does it matter what weight they call for the fight. Mayweather will come in at whatever weight he wishes to come in at the day of the weigh in. I cant believe he even brags about beatin marques when they were in a different weight class not the day of the fight but on the weigh in.
