I don't agree with Roach saying it won't be equal pay and Mayweather needs them more than they need him i think they need eachother equally now to prove to the fans who is P4P#1. This should be a 50/50 purse and just get on with it for the fans boxers are turning in to bloody Divas and Manny has to get by Cotto first.
I agree with Roaches assessment of the fight and also with his thoughts on Floyd. I also agree that Floyd is not the guy that puts asses in the seats for the most part... It is almost always his opponants. Anybody would be hard pressed to say otherwise... In addition, many of the people that buy the figth on Floyd's part are buying to see him lose, not win.

I do agree that this should be a 50/50 fight, though. Although I have my misgivings with Floyd, Manny's camp needs to see that a 50/50 fight is the only way to make it happen, even 55/45, Floyd would bawk at. Floyd is a truely great boxer but has dilusions of grandeur as far as his drawing power.

Pride, I'm interested to know why you still feel that Mayweather isn't a draw when his bouts with Oscar drew 2.4 million and his bout with Hatton drew 900k buys?

If we compare Pacquaio's numbers, they are 1.2 million with Oscar and 825k with Hatton?

Why do you think this is, if it is Floyds opponents that are the draw?

Surely, if Pacquaio was more of a draw the numbers against his opponents who were also draws, should have dwarfed the figures that Mayweather achieved with same opponents?

I know you say people tune in to see Floyd lose but even if this was the case, it still equates to him being a draw regardless of why the fans tune in, right?
