Comments Thread For: Roach Addresses Pacquiao's Retirement, Mayweather Fight

If you are not interested in the fight anymore good. Bottom line is Manny balked at a great deal thinking he could leverage for more. SO floyd took the same hard line manny originally took. It shouldn't have gotten to that.

Manny has held out for 3 years expecting a better deal when he had a the best deal at the beginning. Now, with his tax problems and debt, he may be forced to take a worse deal.
Posters like you applauded him for doing so. Now you applaud him for his willingness to accept the same deal 3 years later. More hypocricy.

Like I've mentioned, you can blame Manny all you want. I'm not interested in convincing you otherwise. I'm just curious why it's so important to you that Floyd gets everything he wants. (You don't have to answer that if you don't want to.)

I don't care if floyd gets what he wants, I just think he is entitled to negotiate the same way manny did! They are both responsible for the fight not being made, along with Bob Arum.

That said, if the only way the fight gets made is through floyd making concessions again, when he did exactly what you asked for in you post about "maturity" and manny still refused, well why should floyd. I think its time manny make some mature concessions.

they are setting it up to duck mayweather again.

Floyd is going to jail and Manny has looked mediocre his last few fights-- no point in even talking about all this until after vs. Cotto and vs. Bradley.

pac never looked good against marquez. it's just style that gives him problems that's all. roach was way too optimistic when he predicted pac ko marquez.

Damn thats good **** dude! I wish him another 92 yrs.

I used to go afterschool to womans house until my parents got off of work. Next door lived the parents of a guy who worked with Murad Muhammad and put on fights in Newark, NJ. I'd listen to those old guys talk boxing whenever I went over to eat his mom's cooking, she was a caterer.

1st fight I really rember was mike weaver v john tate. Friday night on ABC. Weaver's down like 13 rds to 1 then KOs tate in the 15th rd. I was hooked!

Thats why when some clowns say I'm not a boxing fan i just laugh sometimes.

Thanks for the wishes for my dad !

I remember that Weaver Tate fight very well and loved it, boy when Weaver cracked Tates Jaw he hit the canvas and it was all she wrote for fact !!

Glad you got to hear all those guys talkin boxing !! I had a uncle in War 2 that was close to my dad , both in the Navy in that war and my uncle was the light heavyweight champ, he was one mean dude hahaha

My favourite fighter in the middleweights was the great Rubin Hurricane Carter, man that dude could crack , so sad what happened to him. I loved to watch him on Friday nite fights. Ol **** Tiger was tough.

Ok so Manny had the best training camp of his life, looked as sharp and strong as he ever has, God could not even save JMM....yet Manny got a gift decision and got circles boxed around him...BUT....everyone has a bad night huh Freddie?? lol sure thing. No Manny has a bad night every time he fights someone who isn't drained, old, shot or recently KOed. I think Manny is going to look even worse against Bradley to be honest, I think they are in deep against Timmy. Like I said, if Bradley can take Pac's shots, Pac is in trouble.

WAR Desert Storm!

Pac will fight Floyd before he retires. He will take what he can get and cash out/retire. Bob won't have any choice.

How do you know he isn't spiritual? Im not saying he is or isn't....just saying how do you know? Not everyone faith is at the same level and as a matter of fact most people who claim to be religious sin all the time.

Pac cheats on his wife, he gambles, he drinks....those aren't God-like things

Mayweather is all about devilish things himself, money, fame, he has been accused of hitting women. None of those are God-like.

Here's where we disagree.

Gods throughout the history of man have been jealous, wrathful and have always coveted fame.

Be it Jehovah, Adonay or Allah, they are all one and the same God of Abraham who has unleashed plagues that killed innocent babies, turned cities into salt, punished and tortured Job just to prove a point, and flooded the world.

Even before man worshipped those three, the gods of Egypt, India, Japan, China, were all gods who seemed to have human faults and emotions.

Its very much god-like when you think about it.

If it wasn't, there never would have been such things as demi-gods or nephilim.
