If Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto on November 14, the stage will be set for what may be the toughest fight negotiations in the current era of the sport. Both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao believe they deserve the much bigger piece of the money. Neither guy is willing to budge from their position and neither guy wants to do an 50-50 even split.

Roach says Mayweather needs to get off his high horse because Pacquiao doesn't need him. He predicts a very tough negotiations process.

“It’s what the world wants to see. But the thing is, can you get him sign the contract? I don’t know. It’s going to be difficult because he thinks he’s going to get all the money,” said Roach to Dennis Principe of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “If he thinks he’s going to get equal money with us, he’s crazy. He needs us, we don’t need him.”

Roach said the crowd for last weekend's fight in Las Vegas is a prime example of Mayweather's lack of drawing power. Pacquiao would bring in the entire crowd if the two of them fought.

“Let’s face it, the guy that puts asses on the seats is Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather doesn’t draw. Against Marquez the venue was 80% Mexican,” said Roach.
