Mayweather-Pacquiao: Both Sides Taking Hard Lines

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The biggest and richest fight in boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao, has a very difficult path to getting done. Both sides are taking a hard line on the money. Mayweather sees no reason to split the money 50-50 with Pacquiao. Based on his past interviews, he wants at least a 60-40 split or better. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, who advises the fighter on some of business aspects during negotiations, will demand a 60-40 split in Pacquiao's favor and a catch-weight of 145-pounds. [details]

manny had a great win vs cotto at 145.the fight is already hard to make money wise. But this ****en 145 **** is a joke

[Main Event]

No more catch weights 147

[syphillis]

**** that. How do you hit somebody mostly on the run. I think I'd rather watch old clips of Tom and Jerry.

Didn't mayweather say (Brian Kenny's interview) the reason he fought Marquez instead of Mosley is because he was a bigger draw? Now his saying Marquez is nothing, so why take the fight again...?

[Kevin Jesus]

Less exciting? or is it because it's a fighter who will actually defend himself and not stick his chin out for Pacquiao can have some target practice?

[street bully]

145 and 55 45 for pacquiao. Who else will mayweather fight. We know he wont fight mosley.

[KILLA RIGHT]

145 is blatanly ducking. The money is a huge problem but we know floyd will never fight at 145...roach doesnt wanna fight floyd at his best.

[Borko]

roach oh roach when will parkinsons take you so u can finally shut ur mouth for good? they say the only good roach is a dead roach. his strategy: if all else fails...catchweight!!!

[Haglerwins]

50/50, 147, $15 million bonus to the winner. If either one of them cries about that, I don't believe they want the fight.
