Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Victor Blackwell And Christi Paul 20150502

Right now youve got some Maryland State Police behind me. You can see also some National Guard members as theyre continuing to watch this area. Protests demonstrations planned here in baltimore after the charging of those six officers in the death of freddie gray. Theyre now three on bail. Thats according to court documents. Weve got the mug shots here. The six officers who awe said this morning. Just imagine this they take people to central booking. They were booked themselves this morning. The baltimore state attorney marilyn mosby, is facing some tough criticism for her decision to press criminal charges. But mosby tells cnn that she stands by this decision. Weve been investigating this case from the very beginning. And what we needed was confirmation of our investigation, which was the medical examiners report. And we received it. Now the police union is calling for an independent prosecutor to take over this case. Listen. Were disappointed in the apparent rush to judgment given the fact that the investigation into this matter has not been concluded. Our officers like every other american citizen, are entitled to due process. We will continue to support them throughout this judicial process, which we believe will result in a finding of innocence. Disappointment and disapproval from the police union. But there was celebration in the streets during the day. But this was the scene overnight. Defiance here in the streets of baltimore. As a small group of protesters clashed with police. Today, though more demonstrations and rallies are planned in baltimore and in cities across the country. Heres the map. Youve got cities as far west as l. A. Youve got boston baton rouge and louisiana, houston, about a dozen protests that we know of that are planned in major cities across the country. Lets bring in cnn correspondent nick valencia. Because nick there have been those demonstrations at the intersection of north avenue and pennsylvania. Thats where a lot of the rioting began. Thats where there was a celebration yesterday. Whats the situation there now . Thats where were at right now. As a matter of fact victor were at the intersection of north and pennsylvania avenue at the cvs pharmacy site of the infamous looting on monday night. From what we saw a few days ago, stark contrast the mood here very tempered its a different tone than what weve seen over the last couple of days. As if the city has sort of breathed a deep breath collectively i want to bring in a resident here. Ray smith, you said you came down here to this cvs to see what happened. Do see what happened. I have to catch the bus down this way. Youre taking pictures we saw you taking pictures. What do you think of whats left behind . Its sad, i never shopped in here, but i catch the bus sometimes during the winter months because i cant get to the train station up my way. Take the bus, come right here to catch the train. Down this way. Youve seen baltimore in different times, you remember the 1968 riots. How have you seen the city change because of what happened . Most of the areas in the city have not changed. They never recovered from it. Never have recovered from it. You look at the downtown area some of the boardedup buildings, its from them areas. All up there. All up down through here its the same. Never recovered. The Small Businesses and everything. Never recovered. What do you want to see happen next for the city . Well i want to see a major change in the poverty around. Thats the nourm one thing. The School System all that. For the upcoming kids to have a better life. We can only hope the same for you. Thank you so much ray, for taking the time. Ray smith, a longtime baltimore resident. You heard him there, victor say hes sort of shocked at what has happened. We should mention this is the first day that weve not seen police in riot gear here on this corner. This is sort of been one of the epicenters of the demonstration, of the rioting, of the criminal activity. That is long gone. Rallies are planned and expected later today. Right where youre at 12 00 p. M. What were told by Police Officers here is that residents will be marching down from about three blocks away. The gill more homes where freddie gray was arrested and will be making their way towards you at city hall. Vikt center. Nick valencia there at penn north for us. The police union, they say theyre appalled and frustrated by what theyre calling a rush to judgment. Weve got harry houk a longtime detective with the new York Police Department who joins us now from new york. Hary good to have you as part of the conversation. Whats your reaction to the six officers being charged . Well you know ive got no problem with them being charged. We probably you know we saw this coming. But the fact is i think this was a rush to judgment. You know im getting calls from Police Officers tweets from Police Officers all over the country that are asking me like are these six Police Officers being thrown under the bus, because the city of baltimore was worried about riots on friday. I dont know. But even the District Attorney had said that the investigation isnt finished yet. Why are these officers charged. Nobody was expecting anything on friday at all. We got surprised about the arrest of all of these officers. I will say that city officials and city leaders were trying to tampa down expectations because what we have been told was that there would be no major announcement on friday when there was the handover of the investigation from the police to the States Attorneys Office which happened on thursday and the big surprise announcement of the arrests. I wonder if you think the officers can get a fair trial in baltimore . Im sure that their Defense Attorneys and the f. O. P. Is going to try for a change of venue. I dont think they can get a fair trial in baltimore. Last night they had reason to celebrate. I think there were more arrests last night than there were in the last two nights. So i cant understand that. I was calling last night when i was on anderson cooper. That probably the National Guard would be able to leave baltimore. But the fact is now, this crowd is so unpredictable. We dont know whats going on. So we might have to go the full seven days for the 10 00 curfew. You know having conversations with people they are frustrated with the curfew itself. Some people tweeting into us. That they believe this is a police state that theyre being forced to go in at 10 00. But its the arrest continue then its just kind of cyclical at this point. Hary let me ask you this. These vehicles these paddy wagons which weve seen that gray was placed in should those be all traded out . I mean should the Police Forces transition to other vehicles where this is not even a consideration or a possibility . Well ill tell you, i dont like those vehicles you cant control your prisoner there, you saw the tight confined space inside those vehicles you get one or two people in there. Youre wide open for an attack from your prisoner. So unlike in nypd we use vans we didnt have those when i was a Police Officer and i dont think they have them now because ive never seen them. The fact if you just put a prisoner in the back seat of a radio car or in a regular van facing forward, buckled in its a lot safer. Even when somebody is in the back of one of these vehicles and theyre seat belted, they can still move around like this and bang their head and hit their head, theyre still subl subject to being some kind of injury. So i dont think theyre really that safe. Yeah were hopefully can get more information about the transition to other vehicles we spoke with tom fuentes this morning about busstyle seating, all facing forward and can be belted in. Harry houck. I thank you for speaking with us this morning and being part of this conversation from your perspective. Well talk more throughout the morning. Thank you. Christi, back to you. Victor thank you, great conversations there. In the meantime, a lot of people are questioning whether president obamas policing task force is even working. The police in the freddie gray case even implement any of the recommendations made by that task force . Were talking about that next. And crowds have gathered outside. Guess, guess where this is . Yes, Buckingham Palace celebrating the birth of the worlds newest princess were taking you live to london for details on william and katherines baby girl. ray id like to see her go back to her more you know social side. She literally started changing. It was shocking. Shes much more aware. jan she loves the food. ray the difference has been incredible. She wants to learn things. vo purina pro plan bright mind promotes alertness and mental sharpness in dogs 7 and older. Purina pro plan. Nutrition that performs. Remember this . This was august 9, 2014 ferguson missouri. This is the day that michael brown, an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by a Police Officer. Well browns death and the death of eric garner in Staten Island new york sparked nationwide protests. And helped push president obama to create this 21st Century Policing task force. Back in march the group issued 59 recommendations for how communities can build stronger relationships with police that serve them including greater use of officerworn body cameras, improved collection of office everinvolved shooting data. Sanctions on Police Departments using unnecessary military tactics and equipment. Now another unarmed black man is dead in baltimore. Six officers are charged in this death. And the protests and unrest continues. Two members of the task force join us now. Cedric alexander is the chief of hes a member of the Dekalb County georgia Police Department and also head of the National Operation of black Law Enforcement executives. Weve got saw rau, the executive director of the Washington State criminal Justice Training commission. I thank you both for being part of the conversation. I want to start with you, sue. Because you wrote that there should be a fundamental shirt and i took a note here about it. In americas Police Departments that there should be some guardianship approach. Expound upon that if you would. Well i think what were seeing across the nation is is some symptoms of a Police Culture that reflects a mindset and an approach of a warriortype mentality. And i understand why thats happened. But i think we need to shift the culture more to a guardian approach. Where Police Officers feel like theyre part of the community. And their focus is on protection. Police departments reflect the leadership of the community where they work. And the tough on crime, the war on this the war on that that approach i think we see reflected in Police Departments. And we need to reset. Cedric how is that possible . I mean how can that be achieved when theres a premium placed on minority officers for minority communities, larger departments can pay more and in fact you would have to create that feeling of being a part of a community, since in many cases these officers dont live in these communities. Well you know we cant underestimate the fact that this you know the fact is that these are certainly challenges. And as sue just pointed out, one of the most important things about these Task Force Recommendations is this inside those recommendations, it is very straightforward and clear, as to how the, how important it is to make sure that we integrate all of our Police Departments, across this country. Yes, there are challenges as it relates to competition between small departments, large departments, between salaries and benefits and those types of things. But what i have been sharing with many of my colleagues across the country, who are chiefs and Public Safety directors, such as myself is that we have to be creative maybe we have to start very early in the process of education. By developing Police Athletic programs police academies, if you will for young people to be part of. Explore programs. So we just cant say we cant find that population. We have to what we have to do victor is begin to establish great ideas as to how to create that population of young people to go into the profession as we go forward. For people who are hearing music, theyre setting up for a rally here thats going to start in about an hour or two. So if you hear music, thats what it is. Sue, will et me come back to you. I had a conversation with some young men who live in west baltimore. And what struck me is that they said that people see them as criminals. Police see them as criminals. And that they have to prove that they arent. How do you change something that is is something as personal something as innate as perception from an officer, or from a Police Department . Well i think it begins with when you very first begin training Police Officers. You have to instill a mindset that they are not coming into the community to exert control. You want the Police Officers goal to be establish a relationship and understand the People Living in the community. Its very easy when youre working in a very tough crimeridden neighborhood to lump everybody together as the them versus us. And if we can get Police Officers to move beyond that and to see people as individuals, theyll be more successful in building that relationship. Once that relationship is there, then you can begin Building Support within the community and ultimately its the community thats going to make it more safe. The Police Officers are there to act as leaders, to rally the community, to protect each other and protect themselves. Cedric help us understand the socioeconomic elements in this. I think its important that people understand that what you saw this week was not only the catalyst for, which were not only the death of freddie gray and the involvement of these officers, but a group of variables that have been going on for decades. And helping Police Officers understand that as well. Of course we saw there in baltimore, we see it across many cities across america. Is that pore education, lack of education, a lack of economic stability in those neighborhoods, opportunity for jobs. To be successful to be homeowners to feel that you are economically sound, where you can take care of your very basic fundamental needs, play a very important part. And as ive heard echoed in baltimore, as ive heard in other cities across this country as well too, is that people want jobs. They want jobs. They want opportunities. They want all the things that everyone else have an opportunity to to benefit from. But many of our communities across this country, those are still many of the challenges. And certainly you will hear and i think we all recognize, thats really very much of the challenge in baltimore as well too. So in those communities where people still feel very marginalized very minimized, theres a larger issue than just police. Police is just those who indepth interfacing with those populations, more quickly and more soon than anyone else. We know its much more of a systemic problem that we still have to address as a nation. All right. Cedric alexander, sue rahr i thank you for helping us understand this Police Task Force and how these things can be implemented moving forward. Thanks for joining us this morning. Christi, lets send it back to you in atlanta. You know here were talking about the duke and duchess of cambridge, because they have a little girl this morning.

The princess is fourth in line to the throne. Yes, the royal baby has arrived, it is a girl which a lot of people were hoping for. Catherine and william have added a princess obviously here. The only question that remains is what are they going to name her . Totally excited. I cant wait to have a princess. Just wondering what its going to be called. What do you think its going to be called . Were just having the royal family its fantastic. What do you think the name will be . Claire princess claire. I think diana. I think it will be diana. Middle name diana, i think. Cnn london correspondent max foster is live outside st. Marys hospital this is where the baby was born obviously and youre near the door where they will eventually at some point, max, come out. Everybody is talking about a name. Have you heard how theyre going to announce this name . Are they going to do it on twitter . Theyre going to do it on email, theyll email us the name and it will go out on twitter. That could be a couple of days. Actually what i can say is its really feeling as if theyre going to come out relatively soon. I say that because if youre the palace behindthescenes people that i know have been wandering around. Im going to check this email. Its set for alarms update. Weve got an update the duke of cambridge will be leaving st. Marys hospital in 30 minutes to go to visit his son, prince gorge at kensington palace. Does that mean that Prince George is going to come back to the hospital and we might get a photograph of him . We dont know. The suggestion perhaps is that hes going to go to see george bring him back to see her. A lot of people fascinated to see Prince George we havent seen him in public for so long and hes got a little brother or sister. Hes got a sister in the hospital and he wants to meet her of course its a very exciting moment. I think the family would like george to spend some time with his new sister before the baby is presented to the world. You just having covered them for some time. I think Prince William and kate would want george to have met the baby and seen the baby before we all do. When george was born i remember seeing members of the royal family. Prince charles and camilla going to the hospital to to visit the new baby. Have you seen any sign that other members of the royal family are on their way there . No thats another reason why i think they could potentially be coming out today. Normally we would have been told that Prince Charles is going to come visit and maybe the middletons we havent been told that i think it is increasingly likely that they will come out today. Look at the disruption that this little baby has caused. Even before she was born this was sort of a, sort of media frenzy that we had here there are journalists from all over the world. I know that kate and william would really want it to cause as minimal disruption to the hospital as possible. When Prince George was born. We were here for a very long time. It was a real problem for the hospital. So we do expect the family to come out on those steps at some point this afternoon. And hopefully well see Prince George go in and visit his sister beforehand. Max, youre at the helm. Finally out of the hotel room were you stuck in for so long waiting for this big moment so thank you for bringing us the very latest. Were hearing that westminster is going to be lighting monuments in pink tonight in celebration of the new princess. This week however, back here in the u. S. Baltimore rocked by riots, violent protests over the death of freddie gray theres a sense of calm that seems to be returning to the streets now. Up next were talking about local business owners. And how they are really putting the pieces back together after all the chaos. Meet the worlds newest Energy Superpower. Surprised . In fact, america is now the worlds number one natural gas producer. And we could soon become number one in oil. Because Hydraulic Fracturing Technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. Supporting millions of new jobs. Billions in tax revenue. And a new century of American Energy security. The new Energy Superpower . Its red, white and blue. Log on to learn more. Smplgts we had a real melee over here were being moved away from the satellite truck there was a real melee between police and some protesters. We had one protester on the ground being arrested. Were here with him, the police are trying to move us out of the plaza. That was brian todd last night as Police Officers tried to enforce that citywide curfew. Overall there were more than 50 arrests, for the most part theres a sense of relief thats pretty palpable across this city after the announcement of the six officers involved in freddie grays death have been charged. At least relief on the parts of those protesters. Today protesters are vowing to keep the pressure on Police Though demonstrations planned in all the major cities you see here across the country, east to west coast. Including los angeles, pittsburgh baton rouge, houston, and of course here in baltimore. For a lot of people in baltimore and across the country some of the most shocking images we saw monday. The robbing of the stores the looting there, ransacking the dollar store, grabbing things out of there and maybe the most recognizable the burning of that cvs and we saw a few moments ago, nick valencia is there, its all boarded up now. Lets talk about the city of baltimore and its businesses are supposed to recover after this. Im joined by ron busby, the president of the u. S. Black chamber of commerce. Ron, i want to start with the protests on monday. And for a lot of people that cvs is the only place they can go get a prescription filled. Whats the process of bringing cvs back . To bring those resources back to this community . Its a great conversation i dont think thats the one thats being had across the country. It has affected our communities, shortterm. And you will find that there will be some inconveniences but i believe that longterm, both Corporate America as well as the local communities have some responsibilities to baltimore. This didnt happen in a vacuum and it did just han mop. I believe that this community and other communities around the country very similar to baltimore have felt this effect. But the real next steps is what takes the place of this the cvs . Will cvs reinvest in baltimore as well as other corporations and Small Business owners . We feel like the number one concern for communities like baltimore, especially for africanamerican communities, is unemployment. Statistics show that in america, theres 1. 9 million unemployed africanamericans. But on the flip side of that theres 1. 9 million owned africanamericanowned businesses simple math says if each one of these Small Businesses that are owned by africanamericans can hire one additional africanamerican then we wont have an unemployment issue in our communities in baltimore as well as around the country. There are a lot of Small Businesses and Large Companies that are losing money in this period because of the curfew. Youve got to balance Public Safety right . And youve got to balance the income thats brought into downtown restaurants closing early, casinos, the hotel staff is being sent home in certain periods. How do you make how do you balance that and how much are these businesses losing in this curfew period . It depends on the type of business. And those businesses that rely on evening hours, those businesses that rely on tourism entertainment, are definitely being affected. Should it end . Yes. Its time to end it . I think its time to end it. What youre finding is many of our local businesses in entertainment, restaurants, bars clubs, especially on the weekends are really feeling it i think now people want to come out and celebrate. People want to come out and conversate it starts in many of the restaurants and pubs around the town. Its time to give them the opportunity to make the revenue that theyre losing so we can get the city back to where it normally should be. You talked about a bit of it a moment ago. Lets talk about the larger economic question. We look at some of the neighborhoods in baltimore. People around the world are seeing them for the first time. People who live in this city know that for sometime there have been vacant along north avenue. On the east side right alongside johns hopkins, the premiere medical institution. How do you bring businesses in so that can you start to grow these communities . What comes first . The residents . But they dont have a Grocery Store. Do you bring the Grocery Store . But they dont have people to come in and shop in them. Its a combination, i think this administration has done a couple things early and proactive. One of the things that the administration has done is that baltimore now is a promise zone city. Which means that now all of the resources can be brought together to address education, some of the criminal issues but most importantly the economic issue. We believe that it starts within our own community. The average africanamerican is spending less than 3 of their own dollars with other africanamerican firms. Its got to be a combination of Corporate America reinvesting, but also africanamericans reinvesting. Just pure numbers, if africanamericans could increase their spin with other black firms, currently were spending about 3 of our income with black businesses if we can increase that to 10 , we would be mandated to hire an additional million employees. We have to talk about just not jobs but about businesses about ownership, because we know that we hire our own. And it starts with opportunities for these businesses and business owners. Ron busby. I hope that this conversation can continue. But not just the conversation. That things can actually happen. Thank you so much. And of course if you want to help rebuild, you can head to cnn. Com, there are lots of opportunities for you to read up on how you can get involved. Race relations now taking center stage when it comes to the race for the white house. And in the wake of the unrest in baltimore. Some of the president ial contenders decided to take on the topic. Were going to break down what they had to say, next. Big day . Ah, the usual. Moved some new cars. Hauled a bunch of steel. Kept the supermarket shelves stocked. Made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. Whats up for the next shift . Ah, nothing much. Just keeping the lights on. laugh nice. Doing the big things that move an economy. See you tomorrow, mac. See you tomorrow, sam. Just another day at norfolk southern. Now .

Com the situation in baltimore has allowed president ial contenders to get their message out. Several of them including secretary clinton, senator paul spoke about what may have led to the unrest in maryland listen. Lets protect the rights of all our people. Lets take on the broader inequities of our society. We cant separate the unrest we see in our streets from the cycles of poverty and despair that hollow out those neighborhoods. Its something we talk about not in the immediate aftermath, but over time. The breakdown of the family structure, the lack of fathers, the lack of sort of a moral code in our sew side. This isnt just a racial thing. Lets talk about it further with a senior director for Blackrock Group and senior political commentator, maria cardina. Your thoughts on senator pauls comments about the lack of fathers, its getting criticized. Do you think the criticism is fair . Well look i think what rand paul is trying to get at and what ive heard some of the other republican contenders as well as Hillary Clinton as well has said we should look at poverty. If you look at the neighborhood where freddie gray grew up in, i believe the Unemployment Rate was 24 . Weve seen you know, the state of maryland weve seen its one of the largest states for welfare, or for welfare recipients. Think we need to look at some of these main drivers of the problems that were facing. But specifically senator paul mentioned the lack of a moral code and the lack of fathers. I asked you about the criticism of that comment. Do you think the criticism is fair . I think that could be an issue at hand. And what im Say Something i think we should look at all the drivers and possibilities of whats going on. Lets look at poverty. Lets look at criminal justice reform. But you know heres the thing. Hillary clinton is someone who has called for criminal justice reform. But i find those calls incredibly disingenuous essentially what shes calling for is dismantling policies that were put in place under her husband and under the Clinton Administration these are policies that shes has also championed throughout her career. Lets look at it the prison population increased by 673,000 people under the Clinton Administration. Federal prisons doubled under president clinton. These are all policies that Hillary Clinton has championed. So maria, does Hillary Clinton have to answer for policies during the bill Clinton Administration . No. And again, bill clinton is not running for president , Hillary Clinton is and by the way, bill clinton also recently addressed all of those policies. Saying that we are in a completely different time now. That was 20 years ago. He essentially said we need to take another look at all of those policies. So even he himself is questioning his own policies. Hillary clinton is clearly focused on the problems at hand. She is talking about reform of the criminal justice system. She is talking about body cams on policemen. To frankly protect those good policemen who are out there doing great work. Every single day and to protect the victims of those policemen who are not doing such great work and she is i think very credibly talking about the roots of the causes of what happened in baltimore. Which is income inequality. And where i think republican candidates run afoul of their speak about income inequality and lack of fathers as rand paul has done is that none of their policies ever focus on the problem of income inequality. And in fact they exacerbate income inequality. As they slash programs that all of these lowincome communities have depended on. Well then how do you explain the fact that good stamps vin creased by 45 . Unfortunately theres a delay, hold on for a second lisa. Hold on i want to get in the sound from ted cruz, to bring this into the conversation as well. This week he blamed president obama for exacerbating Race Relations, listen. He could have been a unifying figure. He could have chosen to be a leader on Race Relations and bring us together. And he hasnt done that hes made decisions that i think have inflamed racial tensions. Quick answers on this is this appropriate . Did the president inflame racial tensions . Lisa lets go to you first. I think president obama has been a largely divisive president. But back to marias point on income inequality. Weve seen income inequality exasperate under president obama. The pofrdy rate is the highest its ever been under president obama. And frankly what we can see is republican policies on the budget that just slash and slash and slash all of these programs. Let me finish lisa let me finish. I didnt interrupt you. This will this will have to be the last word. All of the republican programs slash all of these programs that these lowincome communities depend on and then they go and talk about income inequality and frankly ted cruz is the last person who should be talking about, about racial tensions. We have poverty hes the last person who should be talking about income inequality. The difficulty here is im in the field and ive got a terrible delay so its unfortunately, i cant jump in where i want to. But maria, lisa will of course continue to have the conversation. Hopefully it wont take Something Like this to have an expanded conversation about Race Relations in the country. Thank you both. The first rally here in baltimore. Is scheduled to start at noon today. Of course cnn will be covering it. Christi christi, cnn will be live reporting on the the rallies, any developments on this case and watching for developments and rallies across the country. Absolutely. Great job, victor so good to get those conversations in with you this morning. Thank you. Meanwhile, its boxings biggest night, Manny Pacquiao Floyd Mayweather doing battle. Well have more on what many are calling the fight of the century. But that hasnt stopped me from modeling. My doctor told me about stelara® it helps keep my skin clearer. With only 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. Stelara® helps me be in season. Stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and increase your risk of infections. Some serious infections require hospitalization. Before starting stelara® your doctor should test for tuberculosis. Stelara® may increase your risk of cancer. Always tell your doctor if you have any sign of infection have had cancer, or if you develop any new skin growths. Do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. Alert your doctor of new or worsening problems including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems. These may be signs of a rare potentially fatal brain condition. Serious allergic reactions can occur. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. In a medical study most stelara® patients saw at least 75 clearer skin and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. Stelara® helps keep my skin clearer. Ask your doctor about stelara®. Lets talk about the countdown to fight night. Its on the way as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather get set to face each other. Both fighters will earn more than 100 million. Were live from vegas, what are you hearing at this hour coy . Well christi, were hearing that right now, Floyd Mayweather is the favorite. Hes 470. The last time this guy lost was a controversial decision in the 1996 olympics. Hes a baller right . But Manny Pacquiao dont ask the fans what they think, who they think is the favorite. Last night at the weighin. These guys went toe to toe, saw each other, looked each other in the eye. One last time before they get in the ring Manny Pacquiao was cool. He was calm he was collected. Clearly enjoying the moment. 90 of the 10,000 fans in the arena were cheering for him. On the other hand mayweather was getting booed. You know he was different, he was not his same outgoing trashtalking self. He was a bit subdued. Very uncharacteristic i tracked down Manny Pacquiaos legendary trainer, freddie roach. Listened to what he said about why mayweather may be quiet. Listen. I think that he just doesnt want to be here. Think that this is the first fight in his life that he hasnt picked. Hes picking chosen opponents very well. Hes put in a soft guys a couple of tough guys you look at pacquiaos record hes fought a lot more quality fighters i feel and i think it will be the difference in the fight and i think mannys foot speed and hand speed will be too much for him. So there you have it, christi. He things manny going to be too much for floyd. He thinks floyd doesnt want to be here. One thing floyd does want is the money. If these two fighters split the reported 300 million and the fight goes the entire distance. Each fighter will split 138,000 per second. Help us understand the money for a second. Theyre going 0 get money whether they win, whether they lose does the split make a difference depending on whether they win or lose . Or no . No the money is in its there are projections expected to be 400 million total, based off a projected three million payperview buys and the 74 million in ticket sales. Bottom line it looks like these guys will get 180 million for mayweather and 120 million for pacquiao when its all said and done. Its absurd. You talk about Manny Pacquiao a guy who started out earning only 2 per fight. Now hes going to make over 100 million in one fight. All right. Hey, coy, thank you so much. Have fun out there.
