Roach wants 60-40 for Pacquiao in Mayweather fight

[yvonne]

What weight shall this p4p fight be fought at?Which weight would suit them both?

^147 should be the limit. Meaning 147 is the highest they can weigh in at, but if they choose to weigh less its their decision. Roach was trying to make it at a mandatory catch weight. Meaning even tho its a welterweight fight, they wouldn't allow Floyd to come in at the welterweight limit. That was completely unfair considering they'd be fighting for the welterweight titles. I'm glad he realized how foolish that was.

The 50/50 split or a 60/40 to the winner is the only option i see both fighters agreeing to.

But having a say in the gloves is foolish. Everything should be at an even playing field. A standard size ring, fighters pick their own gloves, etc. This is a fight that should not be tainted with the possibility of excuses from the losing camp.

This getting daft its nothing but a 50/50 purse split really both pull a crowd and good ppv ratings i watched an interview with Freddie on here other day and he said it would be at 147lbs and not a catch weight.

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.

Be my guest.

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

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

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

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.

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....
