Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Has Agreed To Fight Clottey, Says Roach

[Xcusemymood]

I really can't believe that people are ok with Pacquiao-Clottey. This is terrible. No wonder nobody cares about boxing anymore, boxing fans don't give a ****. They just get obsessed with their favorite boxer and agree with everything he does.

I hope this is all just build up for Floyd-Pac.

Boxing keeps doing it to the people that actually love the sport, and not just one fighter.

No ****ing kidding

Clottey is a solid WW but does every opponent for Manny has to be from Top Rank? Is like always with good o uncle Bob

Please…. Even that ‘tards can’t be happy about this. This is the worst scenario for pacman, IMO……

Even pac-foreman could be marketed as pac trying to go for another title in another weight class…..

Pac-malinaggi could’ve been made interesting by a mutual dislike, so at least there would’ve been some **** talking. Although the fight makes no money, it would’ve been an easier fight for pacman.

Instead, you end up with pacman-clottey…..uninteresting. nobody knows clottey, he can barely talk, and his biggest win is against zab Judah. High-risk, low-reward, and nobody will be watching. But hey, arum gets paid, right??!!!

Clottey will make it a closer fight than cotto did, but if cotto was able to “outwork” clottey to a close decision, I expect many, on steroids, to be able to at least do the same…

LOL @ can barely talk

floyd's gonna have to wait


PAC-Clottey should be a good scrap

I like Manny, but his team is making him look like an idiot.

Team Pacquiao is ducking Money!

I hear you Bass...but if this fight got signed in 15 minutes, the casual fans will STILL buy it regardless of all that has transpired. As a matter of fact, I think more ppl may be intrigued since this drama has been added to it.

Yeah, I mean...its pretty dumb that the fight isn't going through, but if there is anything positive that has come out of the whole circus is that people are talking about this fight now.


I personally would have liked the fight to take place during the summer, maybe in May, but will likely happen in the fall...but at least then, the buzz will have hopefully grown. ( I don't see hype for this fight dying unless Manny or Floyd loses their next fights)

But yeah, its all over the news and on the front page of most sports publications, so I guess if they were trying to promote this fight to the masses, its working.

Clottey just hit the jackpot. Good for him, he deserves a good payday.

Is that Hollywood Holt in your sig? In the helmet?

Only *******s who are unsure if Manny will beat Mayweather are game for this. The people that would rather fighters fight in courts and the same people that sign petetions so fights look bad and fall apart as a result. These "fans" are the ones that want to see anything other than Mayweather. It could be ANYONE and they would be game for it and find a reason to make it sound legit.

This fight does ZERO for Pac. Its not like team Pac "stated" Cotto "LOST" to Clottey when they were making the fight with Cotto.... Clottey IMO is just a pitiful ploy and last result to get Mayweather to give in.

If this fight goes down, Pac will look very bad to the general public and not just the boxing public either, people are turning btw. He will also lose leverage as the PPV numbers will be horrible not to mention the fight being boring and that of a sparring session with Pac winning a UD. Not to mention being the favorite by a wide margin. No hype, no drama yet *******s are game for it.

All they can say is Mathew Hatton? Mayweather just came out and said he wants to fight Pac, where's Hatton's name involved in that statement?

yea..good post bro.

[Xcusemymood]

*****s don't like Pac moving on.............lol!!

I dont like Manny or Floyd moving on, unless its Mosley for either....

Well, for one keeping the money in house is a win-win for Top Rank, and Arum specifically.

But another reason why is probably because of the time constrictions with the March date. Its already January, and they need sufficient time to promote this fight.

It just makes it a whole lot easier with the time fram given when you can negotiate terms with a manager, and not have to deal with another promoter.

mosley's losing to berto....

Could happen, Ive been thinking the same actually. But Honestly Berto vs either of those guys isnt the same as Mosley.
