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

[jrosales13]

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.

I haven't really been able to follow whats going on with the negotiations... I just have read a lil here and there. I know Pac now is asking for 60-40. And, I know Floyd agreed to fight in March and at 147. But, what else were the terms that he agreed on? Do you know?

you idiots chirping pacman are obviously not boxing fans. saying pac is ducking floyd, are you ****ing serious, he just fought one of the toughest welters in cotto. floyd has never fought a legit welter that is a fact. you can't argue that, its just the truth. the funny thing if this fight doesn't happen right away which i don't think it should is that floyd has no one to fight because he is such a ****ing *****. he prob will fight m hatton, hahhahah. pac don't need floyd he's the most entertaining fighter the sports seen in decades maybe ever. the only thing floyd has going from him is that 0, check out his boxrec its a ****ing joke compared to the greats like pac. maybe floyd should fight a p will or mosley or cotto or berto or margarito. nah that will never happen.

how can you call this ducking if the fight was still on negotiations?

call Pac a ducker if Floyd challenges him then retire for two years then come back & fight a lightweight

I told u all *****s... Pac will have the last say on this.

60-40 in favor of Pac is more than fair.

Either that or Pac walks on to Mosley and bigger things.

Mayweather is so different than our last four opponents [Cotto, Ricky Hatton, De La Hoya and David Diaz]. We have to study him really hard. But I know Mayweather really well. I just need Manny to see what I see." Freddie Roach.

NUFF SAID.

ESPN was wack... Did you do a top 50 here? Do you have the link I did a top 100 is in the history portion of this forum...

i never put it up, just saved it on my MSWORD, i was bored at work one day and started it, but my hardrive was replaced and i guess when i have a chance i will do it again.

I think some of the lists from both ESPN and Ring didn't make sense.

This does seem like a Pac negotiating tactic but I doubt highly
that Floyd takes 40% ONLY if he wants to really expose Pac because
in reality, 40% of what he will get his still more than it sounds BUT
Pac doesn't deserve to get more than Floyd. For the record, I doubt
highly Pac fights Mosley. I remmeber when Roach was asked about
Mosley and Pac fighting, he was stuttering his ass off, making up
plenty of excuses. I don't think Roach wants Manny to fight any
fighters that have any remote Boxing skill and ring savvy. Look
at all the guys Pac has fought in his last 4 fights? All straight
forward fighters. Not taking anything away from Manny because
he beat bigger guys but not one of them used any boxing skill
or committed to defense AT ALL. People keep saying Floyd need
to fight a legit WW but he has. May not have been a big name but
he was the WW Lineal champion. This is not coming from a racist
aspect but a real one and if you want to get technical, when was
the last time Pac fought an American black Boxer? If people are
going to say Floyd doesn't fight WW's then Pac don't fight American
Black Boxers PERIOD.

Well I don't if you have checked my top 100... But, when you get the chance check it out. I would like to see what you think... I think you will be disappointed where I have Pep. I have him at 7 or 8 I think...

Freddie Roach said that 50-50 gets it done. What all this **** about wanting 60-40 now?

The Pacquiao camp just keeps changing their story every day.

I guess Floyd's gotta make it worth Pac's while to step aside from politics and make the fight.

55-45 will probably be Floyd's counter offer.
