International Business Times: Roach Waiting on Mayweather Response as Pacquiao Demands 2013 Showdown

By Adrian Back

Legendary trainer Freddie Roach has revealed that he is waiting for a response from Floyd Mayweather after an offer was made on behalf of his fighter Manny Pacquiao.

The two future hall of fame fighters have repeatedly failed to agree terms on a mega fight that would go down as one of the biggest bouts in the history of the sport.

Mayweather has demanded that there be stringent drug testing in place for any fight, whilst also demanding a higher percentage of the earnings, two clauses that Pacquiao has recently agreed to meet.

It has remained impossible to make the fight as Pacquiao prepares to face Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time, while Mayweather was sentenced to a short spell behind bars earlier this year.
