Comments Thread For: Roach: If Mayweather is So Good, Why No Pacquiao?

[maguirre]

a it's probably the same reason that you think pacquiao is still scared of floyd

I mean how much level playing field does he need when Floyd can juice without getting caught anyway?

[The Raw Dog]

Freddie should ask his fighter the same question, because Floyd put his money where his mouth was...

[Nightfall]

Arum wants to promote the fight. That's why it won't happen. So Freddie can say what he wants and it still does'nt make a difference. All pacquiao has to do is to tell arum to get out of the way. If pacquiao defeats Bradley. This fight can happen September 13. But pacquiao has to tell arum to stay out of it

[peplz]

so floyd demands 14 days, pac agrees and floyd refuses saying the terms have changed

then he demands 7 days, pac agrees and floyd refuses to say he has changed his mind

floyd asks for 0 days, pac agrees and floyd says he is going on vacation for a while

floyd then says "you're next to pac" to sell his fight, pac agrees and floyd ducks out

pac then calls floyd out, saying he agrees your terms, floyd then says the split terms have changed

pac then agrees to lower split and floyd now says he must leave arum

are people like floyd fans that ****** that they cannot see the pattern? can they not see floyd does not want the fight for whatever reason, everytime his demands are met, he changes them to avoid the fight being made

Manny going and blabbing his mouth on ESPN to Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith about what he will agree to after rejecting everything during actual negotiations is the poorest excuse for anyone "agreeing" to anything that I've ever heard!

Pacquiao is not leaving TR. So is Floyd willing to retire with a ducking rep or what? Are his fans just content in seeing Floyd winning in fantasy land? Do you really love your idol when he's about to retire with a ducking legacy? Is that love? Hehe...

Mayweather said he is aware of the chatter among some fans clamoring for the Pacquiao fight. But he made it seem very unlikely.
"Everybody's like, 'Aw, Pacquiao,' but I'm just letting you know he's not getting a fight with me," Mayweather said. "The only way he's getting the fight with me is if he signs with Mayweather Promotions. He's got to give me fights with Mayweather Promotions. If he don't give me no fights under Mayweather Promotions, then he's not getting the fight. That's how it is working now, because the ball is in my court. The ball has been in my court. I have been the A side.

"I went to Pacquiao at one particular time and I offered him $40 million and I told him, 'I will wire you $20 million within 48 hours.' He told me he wanted 50-50 and he got off the phone. Some guy named Michael Koncz [Pacquiao's adviser] came down here. I don't know who he is. He looks like a little weasel. He came down here, was in my gym and talked to me. He said, 'If you want the Pacquiao fight, you talk to me.' I said, 'What about Top Rank?' He said, 'I run all his business.' That's what he told me. I've got everything recorded, everything on film."

This is an area that always kills me. people sit here and claim Floyd said no ppv, when Manny said 50/50 and got off the phone, so in actuality, no ppv split was even discussed.

Ok that's why Roach admitted that Mayweather would be a problem and that Manny has problems with counter punchers. To me Manny was never a threat but rather hype. He's not complete enough to cause Mayweather problems. Dude ran into a counter right hand.

You an idiot? My post was addressing Mayweather's mental process. Read it again, fool.

Laughable regardless that you're trying to generically compare a matador counter puncher like Marquez to the skittish safety-first distance-controlling stylings of a Floyd Mayweather.

"Dude ran into a counter right hand."

lmao

[peplz]

Funny thing is floyd would win he just don't wanna take competitive fights all he wants is easy work. So he is still a duck.

It's called being the best. Meaning all work is easy work

[peplz]

If ever a thread proved how ****** and downright gay floydspastics are, then this would be a good contender!

And I guess name calling and insults proves that you're intelligent.

[panyck]

Freddie's right.
We can argue the politics to no end, but in 20 years when people talk about Floyd it won't be to say he dominated, it will be to ask why he never took the biggest challenge in front of him?
