Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Wants a 60-40 Split, Says Roach

action in the ring vs action outside

to true boxing fans it will be a 50/50 split.. but this fight can and will only be a superfight when the casual fan pays to see it.. and in my opinion action attracts fans.. manny goes in the ring and decides to take care of busines.. delivers action packed fights, stuff worth paying the prices!! on the other hand you have someone who tends to overhype his sparring sessions, because even when outmatching or clearly overwhelming opponents.. he slaps his way to yet another 12rnd UD, promises the next great fight and delivers a backpeddling slapping an overmatched opponent opponent in the 1st place, doesnt face the best!. will answer 1dimensional jr welters (hatton) challenge, or newly crowned top LW (marquez) soft challenges... but wont answer what many feel is the best welter (mosley) cause he has 5 losses (2 to winky, 2 to the viper and one to cotto) all top p4p fighters at the time. i really feel the bigger piece is deserved to pacman, and rightfully so! ACTION!! DRAMA!! not like overglorified sparring pruding machine. plus int getting close to tax time again.. so money may be in need of $$

Thats too much imo, should be 50-50 or 55-45

There is nothing wrong with Pacquiao wanting to fight Mayweather after the May elections. Then he will accept the 50/50 split.

I think Freddie Roach needs to shut the Hell up about the purse splits. Its obvious that Floyd must have already agreed to what the proposed split is and Arum was confident enough in the proposed split that he flew all the way to Manilla to present it to Manny. He needs to just "try" with all his life to come up with a game plan to beat Mayweather. I like both fighters very much, but Jr is the best...

just like i have been saying all along Pacquiao is a ***** and is terrified of Mayweather he doesn't want to fight he pissed on his self in the philippines when he heard Mayweather accepted the terms now he wants more money what a ***** i thought Pac wasn't about money he was about legacy and alll that other bull**** his dumbass fans be talking looks like they don't know **** Pacquiao is ducking Mayweather it so plain to see Ray Charles could see it Pac knows what fight people want to see and he is not trying to make it why? ill tell you why because he knows he will get a boxing lesson so go ahead and run Pacquiao run

Man floyd still has some hardcore fans and they will definitely buy his PPV's.

But i won't buy any more floyd fights! Even if he fight Pac, Mosely or whoever else i promised myself not to pay anymore of his fights, i'm done with all the farce i've seen from him!

exactly. only hardcore floyd fans buy his fight which are endangered species, almost extinct. Manny draws in casual and hardcore fans. **** even people that dont know **** about boxing buys his fights. even my grandma dont hesitate to spend 50 bucks for pacs fights.

Pac has always been about money. Remember he was about to pull out the Oscar fight after agreeing to the original terms of a fight and then demanded a bigger share of the split and the same thing with Hatton. Did you call Pac a ***** and ***** and claim him ducking Hatton and Oscar at the time?

Does anybody know what percentage of the revenue was acceptable to Floyd's camp?

If this mega-fight is postponed until late 2010, I hope Floyd fights the Mosely-Berto winner first. Actually, Floyd-Moseley is the one I really want to see.

Why? 50/50 sounds right. And why is he running for congressman, why he doesn't do that for the next elections when he's retired? Not now when he's on top.
