Roach shoots back at Floyd: You're ducking Manny

Posted at 02/05/2012 12:13 AM | Updated as of 02/05/2012 12:17 AM

MANILA, Philippines – Boxing trainer Freddie Roach said the reason why the super fight didn’t work out is because Floyd Mayweather Jr. priced himself out to evade Manny Pacquiao.

"When you call somebody out and then you offer a 70-30 split, you know that is a deal-breaker,” Roach told Boxing Scene’s Ronnie Nathanielsz.

“So who is really wearing the dress?" asked the veteran boxing trainer.

This was Roach's reaction to Mayweather’s tweet, wherein the unbeaten fighter called Pacquiao “Miss Pac Man.”

“I’m fighting Miguel Cotto on May 5th because Miss Pac Man is ducking me,” said Mayweather through Twitter.

Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz said the Filipino boxer had no problem with a 50-50 revenue split.

But when Mayweather tried to buy them out with $40 million, Pacquiao offered to split the revenue to 45-55.

“With 55 going to the winner of the fight,” Koncz said.

Mayweather, however, refused the offer and took the Miguel Cotto fight instead.

"Fifty-fifty is the only way that fight is going to happen. Both guys are superstars and they both have big egos and they won't settle for anything less," said Roach.

FMJ has 101 excuses. Enough said.


pacquiao is the one who is afraid of FMJ

Article shows that pacquiao is the one who is afraid of FMJ.
Bob arum knows pacquiao will lose
and they are ducking the fight.
Floyd has the right to ask at least 60%
because he has a perfect record
and no one has defeated him
unlike pacquiao who lost 2 fight in a humilating manner
his 2 lost fight
he literally gave up
like a cry baby...

SPAMMER

bakit tinaggihan ni floyd yung offer na 55-45 kung si pacman ang takot kay chicken floyd???
55 na nga sa mananalo ayaw na pa???
eh di siguro ayaw lalo ni chicken floyd kung 60-40 and offer at ang 60 ay sa mananalo???
think again crab...

kupal ka mariadamaso isa kang dakilang spammer


to atozet:

Read again.

Manny offered the 55-45 split.


now,mayweather is going to

now,mayweather is going to fight the left over of pacquiao..hahaha


Fair Deal

The question is how much Cotto is getting? Is it still the same as 70-30, 60-40, 55-45, or 50-50?

Manny is not confident of beating FMJ. Because if he did, money wise, he would agree to the 55-45 deal. And when he beats FMJ, sky is the limit when FMJ asked for a rematch.
