Freddie Roach: Marquez Wants About 50 - 50, it's a Bit Outrageous

[The-Storm]

50/50 sounds about right to me..

[Evol]

So a guy that you've gone life and death with IV times and just been knocked out by doesn't deserve a 50-50 split?

GTFO here.

No because it comes down to who draws the most. This is taken from floyd mayweathers book of negotiation.

50/50 is more that fair because Marquez is giving him another shot.
It has nothing to do with Pacman's ability to sell more ppv's

[mathed]

Ugh....he just knocked Pac out. If Pac deserves a bigger split, fine, 55-45 in Pac's favor and Pac gets 55-45 split of PPV shares. The way they are talking though, it sounds like they are thinking of 70-30 in Pac's favor and Pac gets all the PPV share. It ain't gonna happen this time, Pac has lost his leverage.

Roach is saying ABOUT 50/50. Who knows what that means in Roach term For all we know that could be 40 for Marquez.

anyways, it comes down to how bad Manny wants this . he can afford it, but we'll see

Michael Woods-

I asked Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach if he thinks we'll see Pacquiao-Marquez 5, in September.

"My gut instinct on what is next? I want it to be Marquez, Manny wants Marquez, but Marquez wants a lot, lot, lot of money," Roach (seen with Pacquiao in above Chris Farina-Top Rank photo, before the fourth bout) told me. "I think it's a little outrageous. It may not happen. We might have to go to Mike Alvarado or Brandon Rios or a Tim Bradley rematch could be made. I want Marquez right away, Manny and I both want it. But Marquez wants just about a 50-50 split. Manny brings butts in seats, pay-per-view-wise, Manny is the guy. Obviously Manny deserves more. I think a rematch will make a lot more money than the last fight. I think both sides can ask for more and Marquez deserves something, but not 50-50."

The phuck is he talking about Manny brings more butt's in the seats? Every time these guys get together, its a heavy pro Hispanic crowd.

Hell if he wants to pull the PPV Card on him, I would love to see just what percentage of those PPV buys are of Mexican or Latino-American buys in their fights.

take it or go fight bum rios in china.....it's the fight i know roach wants anyways.....his fighters have all been looking like utter crap lately even when the fights are crap in his favor. roach is probably the most overrated trainer in boxing.

[Bushbaby]

The hell's wrong wit Roach?? This isn't 2009. Pacman's had 3 bad fights in a row, 2 against Marquez. He's earned his 50%.

That's really the bottom line. It seems to me that he can get over a big loss and can afford to forget about redeeming himself.

Like I said in another thread, beating a superstar doesn't make you one, ie, Tarver beating RJJ, Holyfield beating Tyson, etc. Lennox Lewis pursued a past prime Tyson and Tyson was still accorded the proper respect by being given his just due.

[Rome-By-Ko]

50/50 it's fair IMO, for loads of reasons..But simply put, PAC has list advantage on negotiations...
