hmmmm I wonder how much...One thing Pacquiao may not have necessarily won was his negotiation with Roach over the trainer's purse. Pacquiao, who is expected to earn more than $100 million for the fight, asked Roach one day before camp began how much he wanted to train him for the bout.
Roach suggested that Pacquiao contact his agent to work out the deal.
But Pacquiao insisted on the two men hammering it out man-to-man.
"We were in the locker room and the subject [of my pay for the fight] came up," Roach said. "He wanted to know what I wanted. I said, 'What do you want to give me?' He just kept saying, 'Tell me what you want.' So I told him to go work it out with [his agent]. And Manny said, 'No. No. I want to do it with you. And so we spent 20 seconds in the locker room and he said, 'What if I pay you this much?' And I shook his hand and said, 'Deal. Thank you.' It's more money than I've ever seen in my life and it was very, very fair. Way more than fair, honestly.
"I am happy for it and I'm out here working my ass off for him. It's not because of the money, but because he's such a nice guy and a good and honorable man."

I'm gonna go with $10M ... That's a boatload of cash. Probably makes roach the highest paid trainers of all time for a single fight. Unless Mayweather is throwing his pops more seeing how he has more to spend. But something tells me Floyd is a little tight with the $ when it comes to employee pay... Doesn't want to spoil them I guess lolComment

I find this a bit interesting:
For those curious, Pacman has had samples taken from the testing folks at USADA “at least three times,” and they took some fluid from...

All the talk of Mayweather not being down in his professional career but man I found some crazy footage has been uploaded to Youtube of one of Floyd's old fights!! I can't believe this wasn't talked about sooner.
Granted the other guy was bigger but Floyd went down what like 4 times? I'm surprised it wasn't stopped and I think at the 5 minute mark is where Money May probably started to suffer from future hand problems too.
Gotta give props to Floyd for eventually winning by a TKO after all that, even if it was dirty...
Floyd worst performance ever??
Floyd dirty KO...
