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

[project xxx1]

Pacquiao fighting yet another WW Floyd hasn't? Sheeessshhh lol...

yes of course,another catch weight fight comming up for a 147 title fight

Unfortunately, there are plenty people who are upset this fight isn't coming off who aren't d*ckriders. Those who weren't emotionally invested can see that one group didn't want this fight. The same group that pulled out four times and began negotiating other fights on two separate occasions before finding a good one the third time.

You don't think that the other names were thrown around to try and gain leverage?

C'mon bruh. With this much money on the table, please tell me why anyone from either side wouldn't want this fight.

in a fight nobody but pac fans, and top rank employees care about.....

PPV???

this **** will flop, BIG TIME.....


bet that.

Fight won't do more than 300k. Maybe 200k. When has Pacquiao fought a non-mexican or cultural icon on PPV? He's not proven. If this fight duds...Mayweather has BIG leverage in purse split. But like before he wants 50/50 and to get the fight done. Pacquia on the other hand has commited the biggest duck in the history of the sport.

[WESS]

Even if Pac wins (which I easily favor) he will come out looking bad. Yes, he would win but interest wise the numbers will speak for themselves. I doubt it will do very well. Leverage for Mayweather to talk more shyt.

If May and Pac don't fight, Who ever Mayweather fights will generate more hype than Pac vs Clottey which will be nothing more than a sparring session for Pac. Clotteys good and has a great chin but thats about it. Plus there is no meaning or drama behind the fight. No story what so ever. No interest.

IMO Clottey wont catch Pac, he's too slow. UD victory for Pac. In all reality this is a ploy for Mayweather to back his recent statements of wanting the fight. Team Pac as a last result is hoping Mayweather will give in even though the whole 14 day scenario is out.

I'm hoping Mayweather just accepts and then like always talks mad trash about Pac, his country and his ******ed ass anti boxing fans.

But, coach Roach knows whats up. He's not talking about fighting other fighters for no reason...... Manny will get a serious boxing lesson from Mayweather...

name me a good fighter clottey has beat?

Clottey lost a very close decision against marg, in the 4th round clottey hurt his right hand so he couldn't do much, but he still held his own against marg

Clottey beat zab judah

Clottey lost a controversial decision to cotto in new york

Clottey also beat diego corrales


Who has paulie malignaggi or mathew hatton beat???

[MOREBASS]

I didn't know this was true, I heard it on ESPN.

I only see Pacquiao winning by possible decision. If Clottey gets KO'd, Pacquiao is on the roids 100%.

But I see Clottey whoopin Pacquiao's ass. African Bambaata's head to big, chin to hard, and body to beasty to lose by anything but decision.

That's hilarious. If he wins by decision, he's clean. If he KO's him (which I think is highly unlikely) he's on roids 100%.


If anything I would envision Manny getting a stoppage like in the Cotto fight, but if I had to guess, I would say that this one is going to the scorecards. Clottey has a granite chin.

[S A M U R A I]

Trainer Freddie Roach told ESPN's Brian Kenny that Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) has agreed to defend his WBO welterweight title against former champion Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KOs) on March 13. Clottey will replace Floyd Mayweather Jr. if a deal is finalized. Top Rank had tried to offer a fight with WBA 154-pound champion Yuri Foreman but Pacquiao rejected him as an opponent citing concerns over the size difference. Pacquiao has accepted Clottey as an opponent. The fight will likely head to a Las Vegas venue and land on HBO pay-per-view. [Click Here To Read More]

Good fight! Personally, I don't even understand why anyone cares about the Mayweather fight falling through. I think it's great, but then again I have no interest in seeing Floyd do anything. Except maybe retire again.

Pacquiao outworks Clottey to a decision, btw.

I'd be inclined to agree with you except...they were serious.
