It is easy to talk smack when you think your PPV did 2 million. When the 1.2 number comes out, it's "OK, we can do the 50/50. Where do I sign?"
If Roach offers 50/50, its becasue he knows that 50% is a GREAT deal for his little frog-looking southpaw.

They "deserve more' but they are willing to give away 50% out of the kindness of their hearts, huh?

Man, there isn't any way Floyd deserves a 50/50 split in the first place. JMM was a draw that had a lot of Mexicans support him, so Floyd fans shouldn't be acting like Mayweather was the back bone of that promotion because he wasn't. I think Freddie Roach is crazy for even suggesting a 50/50 split after the Pacquiao-Cotto fight did bigger numbers than Floyd's fight with JMM and it drew millions more dollars at the gate as well. Floyd just tries to piggy back off of other fighters' stardom. And if he budges at a 50/50 split than it's Floyd who is the *****.

Originally posted by Sugar Q View PostF--K all you *******s who say Floyd should accept 50/50, for what? He's the bigger draw! Roach is giving in to 50/50 because his ass knows Floyd is in the drivers seat. With the new revelation of 1.25 PPVs for Pac/Cotto Floyd as a businessman should accept nothing less than 60/40. Floyd will single handedly promote this fight. Manny's tired ass "I just wanna do my job" routine is tired and boring as hell. Money go get your money. Your the man and you deserve 60/40 and if they get fly with you, you should demand 65/35. I would love to see this fight but if Manny was in Floyd's position his little greedy ass would be demanding the same.
roach wants this real bad so that pac will beat the **** out of floyd and make u his *****!!

Originally posted by big_james10 View PostI think it is hilarious the way Freddie Roach has gone from 'we want a 60/40 split or we will look at other options' to '50-50 gets it done.' He might have gotten 50-50 if the Cotto numbers had been 1.6 million as Roach and Arum "expected", but now Pacquaio will be lucky to get a 45-55 split. He can turn it down and fight Marquez for 65 percent of the money, but he will still make less than he would taking the 45 percent against Mayweather.
and ull be gone by then...ur only here for floyd anyway...

Originally posted by big_james10 View PostThe economy was fine when Pac fought Marquez, but there were only 450,000 buys. You can't compare Floyd/Marquez with Pac/Cotto because Cotto was a star and a PPV draw himself. If Pac was a big as you think, the fight would have drawn the 1.6 million that Arum and Roach expected.

Fact is this...
The fight will be at 147, the purse will be 50/50
I wish they’d all hurry up and exhale ego quickly and just sign the contract as this is obviously how it’ll be.
Sometimes all this ego inflating gets right on my ****.

As Roach said he thinks PAC deserves more, but 50/50 is the only way to get the fight done.So no more excuses! If PBF don't accept he's ducking PAC plain and simple.
