Amir Khan Boxing Gloves

"According to Bob Arum, the main things have been agreed," Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said in an exclusive telephone interview this morning, England, where he is training Amir Khan defended his title the light- Saturday night welterweight.

A source close to negotiations said the places most likely to struggle are Las Vegas and Cowboys Stadium. The award - which could generate $ 150 million pay-per-view revenue - will be 50-50 split between the fighters, the source said, adding that there will be a weight limit of 147 pounds.

"One hundred and forty-seven is in agreement with us," said Roach, "but we are still working on some other things like gloves. I'm sure (Mayweather) is 10 oz gloves. We want eight ounces. But Bob m 'said he'll take care of that. "

Tuesday, Arum left Las Vegas in the Philippines Pacquiao to show with the words prospective camp Mayweather, Golden Boy, a company of Oscar De La Hoya, who acts as a promoter. They will not meet until Thursday afternoon. When the meeting was concluded, Pacquiao's trainer called for approval.





"I thought they might want more time to promote the fight," said Roach, "but I like it when Manny is busy."

The time is also logical given the ambitions of Pacquiao. He plans to run for Congress of the Philippines May 10 A date in March would give him time to campaign.

Boxing fans were expecting a great fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather's undefeated champion after Filipino's defeat Miguel Cotto last month.

The March 13 date is just four months after the fight Cotto - a short period of time than six months after Pacquiao beat Ricky Hatton. But Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz said it will be enough time for Pacquiao to get back in shape.

"Nobody knows his body better than Manny," he said. "If Manny feels that is a lot of time to rest and recover, then you know, he must do what he considers just."

He said Pacquiao "can not train more than seven weeks."

Representatives from the Superdome in New Orleans and the new Dallas Cowboys' stadium have expressed interest in hosting the fight, like the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas, where fighters fought their biggest battle. There is also a proposal for a stadium of 30,000 seats on the temporary Las Vegas Strip across from Wynn Resort.

Oddsmakers are already taking on the fight paris, with most decisions Mayweather a slight favorite.

Was it not difficult to understand for me. Roach plays mind games and it's cool. But I think it's funny how all Pactards think Roach is full of him when he says things that make us look bad Manny. But they go with him when he says things that make us look bad Floyd. I'll also add that Mayweather prefer gloves 8 oz and was not happy when he was forced to wear gloves with Delahoya 10 oz. All the lies are coming back to haunt Roach and after this fight. Watch and see.

I think theres a bit of "misinformation" circulating. HES saying that he wants Floyd at 154, which I do not think

Enough said, thank you!

Roach just trying to get all the attention he can team Pacquiao ....

The money can win this game ....

So many mind games in the negotiation of fighting. Funny how you said Pacquiao fans buy everything that is true or false when it comes to Pacquiao. Now, I also like Pacquiao, but think Mayweather is the best boxer. Remember Mayweather sent co.
