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

[GRUSTLER]

Freddie Roach needs to seriously shut his mouth because Homie is
getting on my nerves talking so much. Seems like Manny will do
anything to avoid this fight. Bigger draw? Manny has 1 PPV under
his belt against Floyd while Floyd has set a record that hasn't been
beat yet and did two more mega PPV's. People keep saying Floyd is
hard to negotiate with? First they need more time to get Manny
ready, then he is running for elections, NOW he wants 60/40.......Can
somebody say DUCK. Floyd is down and ready. Should not be any
backlash coming down on Floyd because Pac is the reason this fight
ain't happening or getting stalled. Why would Pac run for elections
now when he still wants to box? He should retire then do it. I was
getting to like Pac but homie seems to have a bigger ego than Floyd
but he just hides it better by being humble.

Now whos ducking who, Pac you little ****, I thought Mayweather was bad but after reading this and a few other articles seems to me Pac is a bigger a HOLE then Mayweather ... At least Floyd does not hide behind his trainer .. first he wants to be a politician, didn't want to fight in May but in Mar, Floyd agrees to his terms so now Pac decides he wants more money WTF *** .. what is next? Why don't u just be honest and say your scared ??? Or better yet if your not prove me wrong, take a 40/40 split and winner takes the last 20% ...

King22, I agree with you 100%. Manny is scared as hell and knows that Floyd will beat his ass. It is pathetic that some fans can't see through him. His biggest wins have come against slow and defenseless fighters; as well as a few dehydrated ones who were confidence-drained.

For the record I am not trying to put Manny down. I am just calling it as I see it, and I have been in boxing for a long time.
Dehydrated, slow and inactive=DeLaHoya
Dehydrated, slow and confidence-drained=Cotto
Defenseless, slow and confidence-drained=Hatton
Slow and washed up=Morales, Barrera (they were still warriors nonetheless)
Equal= Marquez (Marquez won at least one fight, with the other being very close.

I think it will be glaring to have not have one african american in his boxing resume. He did fight some latino black fighters and atleast one african figher, but never an african american who floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Even a guy like Bradley at 140 would have been better than Ricky hatton. Ask anyone who are the 4 greatest boxers of all time, put them in any order but these are the 4: Robinson, Ali, Armstrong, and Louis. They have the speed and dexterity to fight pac, and i am latino but i admit most latin fighters are straight up brawlers with some mix and match boxing. Very few are like Wilfred "radar" Benitez known for their defensive skills. You saw Benitez vs Hearns? Hearns was knocking most latin fighters in 2-3 rounds, but Benitez took him to 15 rounds and lost by close decision, one judge had it a draw.

The fact is that three black fighters Mayweather, Mosley, and P williams have called out the pangit pinoy and he needs to answer the bell.

Willie Pep, Harry Greb, Benny Leonard, 1 of those fighters could arguable be in the top 4 all time maybe 2? Maybe... Anyways I don't think those fighters are black. And, also I would put Sam Langford who is black ahead of Louis... Just my opinion.

Just say (I'm scared) Manny!

Co-sign here HaglerSteelChin, Floyd is an exceptional talent and Manny just doesn't want a part of him. All the *******s are pathethic to me. If Mayweather was running for an election or asking for a 60/40 split, he would be labeled as a runner, fraud etc. It is just sad and pathetic to have fans that can't see when their favorite fighter is scared.

those are very high, i have pep no lower than 6. I did a top 50 list of who i consider the greatest, and it was like 22 blacks 13 latinos, 11 whites, and 4 asian fighters. I think most people had some real issues with ESPN's top 50 and RIng Magazines 80 greatest fighters of the last 80 years.

[GRUSTLER]

He's doing it now. Lets see if he will man up but as of now I'm calling
this a duck considering team Pac was talking the most about Mayweather
and now their coming up with so many excuses when Floyd is ready, willing
and able.
