Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Needs Pacquiao For PPV, Not Khan

[turnedup]

Amir is a huge PPV star, wtf is Roach talking about?

How many accounts do you have man? It's almost creepy.

[Fetta]

The fight can make a billion dollars but the only thing happening to my account is it will be smaller following fight party. I dont care if the fight is in a Dennys with the winner getting a Grad Slam. I just want it to happen so the excuses can flow

Mayweather vs khan would do 1 million buys in the usa and another 600-800 thousand in the uk.

With that said.......If they really want the Mayweather fight then Bob should make it happen.
But lets be honest. It's the same ***** different toilet.

They say they want Mayweather after every fight but...........the April date was already booked before negotiations can even start. Also look for a November date to be booked by Bob after Manny's april fight.

Roach needs to STFU because it's all BS.
Neither he or Pac can get Bob to do the fight.

Mayweather on the other hand gets the fights he wants.
Pacquiao keeps saying talk to my promoter.

Danny Garcia is more deserving.

Having never fought at 147? Unranked at 147? I can think of 8 other boxers at 147 more deserving than Garcia..at least Guerrero had them two fights man. If Floyd didn't have any belts I wouldn't care, I just don't like dudes leap frogging everyone in the top ten who isn't the champ and getting a shot at it.

Therefore the message is Floyd has to fight Khan -- who's the "huge PPV star" in the known Universe.

When the numbers come out I bet that Pac-Rios is going to end up doing less than the Guerrero ppv.

The fact of the matter is that Pac is pretty much out of opponents at this point. Tim Bradley isn't a draw and no one is going to want to watch a rematch after how boring their last fight was.

Marquez could bring in the Mexican fan base but as we know JMM is not interested. He knocked out Pac and considers the book closed on that part of his career.

Provodnikov is still relatively unknown. He would make a good opponent but he is trained by Freddie Roach so it's very unlikely that he gets picked.

So who does that leave? There are no more Top Rank in house fights or retreads that could sell.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

$6 - $10 million? He just made a minimum $18 million this weekend, $28 million for Marquez 4 and $25 million for Marquez 3. In that time frame you and I haven't made not 1% of that..which always befuddles me why is boxing now like hip-hop..frankly when it comes to financials who cares?

You better check the records dude.
Pac ain't making that kind of money.

You know how we know he ain't making that kind of money........
Cuz Bob takes 33 1/3 %
Roach takes 10%
Who knows what Konz gets.

[djdodat]

Bwaha. Floyd's making 80 mil a fight while PAC makes around 6-10 mil. Haha. Funny roach now zip it

Pac made 18 mil this fight tax free. That's not counting PPV.

[ModernTalking]

I disagree with Roach

PAC is not a young and hungry lion where Khan is.

[ddangerous]

The sport of boxing needed this fight 4 years ago. Regardless, still wouldn't hurt now.
