You listen to any one of Mayweathers fights, and every commentator gives him so much respect. It's almost impossible not to be in awe of what he can do to otherwise class A fighters... If Pac gets past Cotto, he should go into the Mayweather negotiation table thinking about the fact he has more to earn from this fight than just money... I agree Pac is the drawcard, but the respect for beating Mayweather is what Mayweather holds the key to...

Fights like that shouldn't be missed because of money negotiations.. I think it's the fight that everyone would want including the fighters, and either should be happy with 50/50..... Arum will want his boy Pac to kick Floyd's ass, so I think 50/50 will be fine in the end regardless of what Roach says...
50-50 I would disagree personally, we could go close to a deal like that (example 48-52) but 50-50 seems a bit over rated for someone who doesn't get a big audience like Floyd. Anyway, if I would be Roach, my concern would be: what weight do they want to go and how to make sure that the episode with Marquez won't happen again when Floyd outscaled by a good 2 pounds.
