Freddy Roach On Mayweather fight: "I want the fight at 145 lb"

[sigrab]

Watch when Floyd declines the fight because they offer him, a "60/40 split in Pacquiao's favor and a catchweight of 145lbs"... They'll be thread after thread of "Floyd is ducking Manny" "Floyd is scared"... That's a bull**** deal

sycomantz wants a 70/40 split in Floyd's favor.

hahaha... no doubt its sycomantz computation

[thebowtod]

neither deserve over 50%

just fight each other already, and rouch, shut your mouth, we get it, you want him... is that all?

[DiLLiNGER]

Roach likes his fighter to come in with good health all protein shaken up,and he always wants the opposition to lose 3 or 4 pounds,catchweight my ass,im sick of manny fighting unhealthy fighters.

Isn't this pretty much a repeat of the Jones-Hopkins negotiations in '02? This can't end well.

is it me or some people just simply don't understand how this weight limit works. People can't be this ******.

t h e - w e l t e r w e i g ht - m a x i m u m - l i m i t - i s - 147 - p o u n d s.
147 - p o u n d s - i s - n o t - t h e - m i n i m u m - w e i g h t - l i m i t.

no ****....thats what the hell i just said! Each fighter should be able to fight at maxium ww limit!

[My 2 Cents]

Roach back to his draining business again, typical.

Agree or **** off. Its not like Floyd has other options.

lol... They should do 50/50... Yes Floyd's put up more PPV buys in the long run... But Manny has fought better opposition and has build a large following in the U.S. now and his performance last Saturday earned him the 50/50... They should do 50/50 @ 147 pound for the WBO title and 147 lineal title as well...

I think everyone with a brain knows that. No need to go spelling out the obvious.

The qualms people have here is that Pacquiao should allow his next opponent to come in at the WW limit of 147. No need for catchweights anymore. Likewise for Mayweather (him not being able to make his own self-imposed catchweight was hilarious).

147 is the only answer. Pacquiao is now a legit WW, so he should allow his opponents to fight at all weights within the division - including 147, obviously.

he can't be that ******...

Okay and what are Manny's other options for next spring?... Mosley has a fight, Berto has a fight.... No one wants to see the Marquez fight now... Tell me where will Manny make more money and who will he fight that will draw more the Floyd?.... enlighten me?... They both need each other
