Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: 50-50 Split is The Breaking Point

[Kenny MF Powers]

Im still waiting for something to validate this 50/50 concern everyone is harping about...

You guys that are so convinced please show me what convinced you.

[mrjoeblive]

Mayweather: Has only fought 5 times in 5 years.
Ortiz... Controversial KO...4rds
Mosley...12rd UD win
JMM...12rd UD win...( controversial weight issue/came in heavy/heavier fight night)
Haton...TKO in round10.
DLH...Split Decision win 12rds
Five fights...Five years! 7ppv fights in 7years....hold that thought......

Manny Pacquiao: has fought 7 times within 3 years.
JMM... Decision win 12 rd
Mosley...UD win 12rd
Margarito...UD win 12rd (beatdown)
Clottey...UD win 12rd
Cotto...KO in 12 (beatdown)
HAtton...KO in 2 (out cold)
DLH...tko in 8 (no mas)

And Floyd thinks he deserves more than 50/50!!!! lol Not only did he beat everyone Floyd fought, more convincingly...he fought three Floyd retired (ducked) to keep from fighting!

yeah but call it right pac boy. floyd beat oscar at 154lbs pac wt drained him to 147 a wt he hasnt fought in 7 years. clottey didnt try to fight. but when he did throw he landed and pac looked worse in the end.he took a dive. mosley who pac ducked twicw and only fought after he signed with top stank. took a dive. cotto pac made him drop 3lbs even though he was a ww and should have fought him at 147=beat him on the scales. floyd fought different fighter. while pac withe the exception of the 1st two JMM fights(the 3rd was another in-house fight) only fought in-house fights the past 5 years= set up fights except the marquez fight. pac= protected fighter who ducked many fighter in all his wt classes.

The Racket Squad: On Mr. Roach

I was surprised that there was no review of the HBO series 'On Freddie Roach' which premiered last night.
Few men have given their lives to this sport in the manner that Freddie has.
Roger Mayweather enjoys saying that Freddie could not fight.
Roger, not unlike most of his clan, can be a simple minded bigot with little appetite for educated teachings nor a devout devotion to a craft he says he is the best at.
He is mostly a fool with a gifted nephew who gives him work.
In the opposite corner stands a crusader, not a court jester.
In the cinema verite stylings of this brilliant documentary, we are given a front row seat to witness a life in full motion when most others would have declined to continue such a physical and mental journey.
Freddie Roach is an architect in a sport that is best known for breaking things.
The Wild Card Gym is a temple and Roach shows us why he is the high priest of such a massive undertaking.
Thank you HBO. Thank you Freddie Roach.

Arum is right Pacquiao is the bigger draw than Mayweather. #2 can't demand higher than #1. It's very clear Floyd is ducking Pac, anyone who's in his right mind thinks that Floyd is the ducker but says differently.

[Burat Mo]

they never considered him in the first place. they only made pacs cult followers think they did. all you have to do is listen to bob arum, he dont know who to talk to on floyds behalf, and a whole assortment of tired excuses. and bob has a history of blowing fights. see gamboa v juanma. arum is a huge joke.

Mayweather is a liar

MAN PLEASE!!!!! you allow your hate for roger to cloud you powers of reason(if you in fact have any) IMO roger is spot on in his critique of roach. roach as never trained a master. and dont bother to bring up james toney he learned how to box in michigan. and if roach is such a master how come pac looked ****ty v JMM in 3 fights??? have you saw the work roger does with children??? they have far better fundamentals than pac. who has been with roach for years and still has sloppy basics. you are right to use the roach is a high priest in a temple as you are following a cult and drinking the cool aid. and roach is only getting attention due to the fantastic hype job arum created in pac. in his career he was steered away from pure boxers and anyone who could box/fight. roach is the mastermind behind the beat em on the scale tactic. if he was such a great trainer, he would not have to use cheap tatics to win. but since he sucks and his top fighter is a joke he uses what ever he can to win. what a joke. i was never impressed with roach and in boxing circles he is a laughing stock. if you want to talk top trainers talk manny stewart or nacho or atlas or mayweather. look at the work roger does with kids. its truely spectacular.

[tomhawq]

pac's last fight should be anyone but mayweather. then retire.

forget about the diva.

yes - very tru. but to say it shouldnt be 50/50 is also a joke. Floyd knows the fight wasnt gettn done at less than 50/50. it dont mattr that Pac said he'd do less than that. Pacs point was he wanted to do the fight. If Arum wanted this fight - Pac would take it in a second. I was all on Mayweather's side, now he's just as much of an impediment to this fight as Arum if he thinks he's gettn more than 50% of the pot. Ridiculous.

again - pls - ALL BOXING FANS BOYCOTT THEIR FIGHTS, arum and Mayweathr don't care about the fans and only care about every f**&n cent in their pocket. so the only way for us to let them know that this is all b.s. is to not buy Pac-Cotto II and Mayweather-Alvarez
