Mayweather-Pacquiao: Both Sides Taking Hard Lines

[dans]

50-50 and it's at 147.

Stop the bullsht.

Yup. Freddie Roach is a slime ball. Manny doesn't care if the fight is at 175.

[GRUSTLER]

How can Roach say Mayweather doesn't have a big audience when in
all 3 PPV's with the same 3 guys Manny fought, Mayweather sold more?
I don't think Mayweather should go down to a catchweight either.
For this fight to be the real deal, Manny has to come up to 147 and do
it big. People are talking about Manny is so much better than Mayweather
but Roach still refuses to let Manny compete at 147, eventhough he is
now a WW champ? That could be taken as if Pac can't really hang.
Sure WW is between 141-147 but do the fight at 147 to make me a true
believer that Pacquiao is ready for Floyd. Roach even admitted in this
article that he needs more time to prepare Manny for Floyd because
it's a whole different ball game for Manny. I'm sure a lot of you will
over look that and still say Pac can beat May when 1) Roach wants
the fight at 145 2) Says he needs more time to prepare Manny for Floyd
and come to the ring with a whole new style. So what is that telling
you Floyd disbelievers? Roach knows what it do. PPV wise Floyd is
bigger than Manny and that is a documented fact, so why should he take
less? Because Manny is more popular? Still waiting for the Cotto/Pac
PPV numbers. To me, that will tell it all BUT even still, if it did do better
than JMM/Floyd, that will be only one PPV Pac *****ed Floyd in. I bet
in reply to this post, guys will start cursing and name calling because the
truth is the truth and you can counter or handle the truth.

People don't want to believe that Mayweather Jr. brings in the sales, and people are dying to see him lose so it continue to be that way.

I'd say at least 146. Mayweather seemed still good at that catch weight, and paquiao weighted like what 148 against Oscar? I don't see what the big deal is with fighting at 147. O that's right, he only agreed to 147 with Oscar because roach knew that oscar would struggle with weight and be a sitting duck for manny. He knew he was past his best already. He trained the man for god sake. Roach knows that cotto at 147 would have had more power and cotto would have been to comfortable. That's why he doesn't want Floyd at 147, cause he knows mayweather would be at his best, and too big and defensive for manny. He knows mayweather will struggle at 145, and that he won't be at his best. Not this time roach. 147 or at least at 146. And by the way, I think Filipino goverment is a joke.

And what does the Filipino government had to with this? Pinoys knows it already unlike most americans who doesn't know what their previous government was doing.

Anyway, my take on this is that Pac's team i'm sure can take the 50/50 purse and that catch weigth thing is sort of a leverage.

It's going to be floyd who will be a ***** on the purse side as deep down inside i bet he doesn't want this fight to happen as he's afraid of Pac. He's thinking that since he's got a big chance of losing this fight, might as well make the most money on it.

Pac doesn't care anymore if he can win or loss with floyd in this match. He just want to fight floyd! But FLOYD IS SCARED OF PAC!

What kind of BULL**** is that when Freddie doesn't even want Pac
to fight Floyd at his best at 147? Didn't you just read Roach say that
he has to prepare Manny for the fight longer than March because fighting
Floyd is a whole different ball game? PLEASE! You guys kill me with this
only one side you want to see. I say Floyd should take the 50/50 split
but just have the fight be at 147 and I guarantee Roach won't want to
take it. How can Manny have a WW title and won't defend it at 147?
I like Pacquiao but sometimes Pacman fans are delusional and blind.

[leonthegee]

ofcourse freddy roach wants the fight at 145. he knows manny cant touch floyd if the fights at 147. thats been their stategy all along. drain a fighter beat a fighter. bunch of bitches.

[GRUSTLER]

And why should Floyd take 40% or less than Pac? Through the whole
Cotto Pac build up until the fight and after Mayweather has been the
name mentioned the whole time, so in actuality, Mayweather is the
draw. Some of you keep thinking Manny will beat Floyd and will be
rudely awaken after they fight AND then more excuses will come as
to why Floyd won and Manny will just be too small like he was to
everybody before Pac beat Cotto.

PAC WILL FIGHT AT 147, THAT'S A FACT!

It's not Freddy who's gonna be in the ring do you really think Roach can impose his will on it if Pac wants it?

Pac is not scared, he just said it he will fight anyone as long as it is in the range of 147 and below.

It is floyd who is not gonna make it happen doing this primadonna toilet paper dance.
