Roach admits it was pacquiao's fault the mayweather fight never happened...

[SweetPbfAli]

Yeah which makes it strange that Floyd would apparently "agree" to 50/50. Even though he repeatedly said in the media that Pacquaio wasn't getting an even split.

50/50 was for the first and real negotiation. Mayweather was just coming back and Manny had made a name for himself in his absence so 50/50 was reasonable. However, after that fell apart, Mayweather was adamant that 50/50 was never be on the table again and he's held true to that and based on the trajectory of their respective careers, he's 100% right for doing so.

If you listened and read all the quotes from Mayweather back then, he was adamant that 50/50 wasn't going to be on the table back then either.

Because Pacquiao went on to do 700k vs Clottey while Floyd did 1.4 against Mosley. Wouldn't at that point 66-33 be a reasonable offer from Floyd? The other guy does half your numbers and you're supposed to still give him 50-50?

he conceded, sooner or later you're going to have to make your point.

I said it before. The Truth will rise to the surface sooner or later no matter how many Floyd haters want to revise history .

Another Team Pac member concedes to it being their fault for the fight not happening.

The Pacman's own trainer finally concedes They had a problem with blood testing during the first negotiations.

And that's why all the excuses from the Pac camp were cranked out like hot cakes on a cold winter day.

Keep'em coming.

I'm talking about before they even started to negotiate. Mayweather was saying he wasn't going to give 50/50/

And we know Clottey is a virtually unknown fighter and Mosley has been in big fights on PPV. It's like comparing Pacquaio-Marquez (1.4m) to Floyd-Guerrero (850K). Dumb comparison.

he conceded, sooner or later you're going to have to make your point.

I've made my point. I don't buy it.

lol the hate for manny is unreal, almost kind of scary how many dudes viciously hate this guy.

bullet proof vests need to be handed to all pac fans here, because the bullets are flying everywhere

Bogus thread........ again

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

After all these years Freddie Roach is finally starting to admit what I always knew.

Ariza was shady (Floyd was right to ask for testing)
And that it was Manny's fault for turning down the fight when it was first offered years ago.

After years of calling Floyd a coward now he admits the truth.

May agreed to 50/50 (which is what Manny has always wanted)
May agreed to a 14 day cut off (Manny is now doing random testing with no cut off date)
May agreed to 10 million per pound over the weight limit (Weight wasn't an issue)
They both agreed to fight at the MGM ( no need for Bobs new ****** stadium)

Pac fans want to bring up how years later Manny changed his stance on the % split and drug testing but.......It doesn't change the fact that this fight could have happened.

It's was ok for Manny to turn it down according to his fans who all were on this site siding with Manny. They all said that Pac shouldn't agree to Mays terms.
But now........Floyd is a coward because he has moved on with his career.

Floyd also came back to the table with a 40 million offer years later and got turned down again.
What happened with Pacs fans after that 40 million offer? They agreed again with Manny
and said Floyd should give Manny a % of the PPV.

My question to Manny fans is this......

Why is it ok for Manny to turn down the fight? (and not be called a coward)
Why is it when Floyd turned down the fight? (he was called a coward)
Why is ok for Manny to require his opponent to do drug testing? ( and be called smart)
Why is it when Floyd asked for testing? (he got killed for saying health comes first)
Why is it bad that Floyd guaranteed 40 million to Pac? (which is more than fair)
Why is it ok for Bob to only guarantee Pac 6 million (and fans say nothing)

Nevertheless when it came time to negotiate, he conceded.
