I think this article was made just after the fight. Roach has already changed his stand regarding this issue me thinks.

So why didn't they do it against Cotto?

Roach isn't doing his ginger friends any good with this BS. Makes me want to lash out at gingers wearing glasses. :(

Because they were in the driving seat, so were able to exploit potential advantages.

Be my guest.

Not sure what defence that would be in court unless you were fanatically anti-Roach.:cool:

60/40 on either side is ridiculous, and this whole catchweight garbage should just be thrown out, 50/50 and each fighter weighs whatever the fuck they want as long as it's between 141-147, and as for the gloves, for fuck sake wear whatever goddam gloves you want, Pacquiao wants his damn clitoris gloves (Reyes), well use them, if Floyd wants his Grants or Winnings, then hell let him wear his own fucking gloves, you know that Roach would only want Mayweather to use Reyes since it's already clearly known that they favor Manny in terms of power, and also they're not the ideal glove of choice when it comes to fighters with hand probs (such as Floyd), make the fight and throw the damn drama out the window, next we'll be hearing them fight about what colors the other can't use on his trunks :rolleyes:

Well it happens in just about every top level fight. There's always someone with advantages - hometown, ref, judges, gloves, ring size, time of fight, etc..

Normally the champion.. unless the challenger is the much bigger money draw. ;)

I don't believe any of these stories anymore. "We should have this"...."but we should have this"....ad infinitum until eventually a fight gets made.

Who is Roach to demand anything anyway? Isn't that stubble face just the trainer?

But anyway, it should be 50/50 all things considered.

If Roach thinks Pac is so good why does he insist on trying to weight drain pacs opponants?

Simple do a 60/40 split the winner gets 60 the loser gets 40. Both parties should be happy with that, cuz neither thinks they'll lose....

Its amazing how elusive this concept is to some. Roach wants 60/40, Ellerbee wants the "lions share", yawn.

If you make unreasonable demands, 50-50 starts to sound like a really reasonable landing place during negotiation.
