Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Will Not Wait on Floyd Mayweather

[Mindrapist]

He turned down a blatantly, obvious low ball offer. Like I said, only an idiot would take that bs of an offer.

But I thought he was willing to fight for free? Which one is it?

And you acknowledge that Manny turned down the deal, thereby acknowledging that Floyd indeed tried to make the fight.

It seems like people are so stuck on criticizing a man that they even forget what points they were trying to make.

I'm sorry. I see the confusion. Autocorrect issue. Meant to say that I know for a fact -- which I do -- that he wants it.

Meant to say "wants" not wasn't. Again, my apologies for not double checking before posting.

Did floyd tell you himself? How are you so sure?

Slurp slurp slurp

Pacman has said he wants the fight, accepted all the blood testing demands, less money etc... what more do you want?

I'd like for him to put his money where his mouth is. He says it but when it is time to do it, he doesn't want to. What's up with that?

Manny pacquiao:"Ill fight floyd for free because thats what all the boxing fans want."
Floyd mayweather:"I dont fight for free."

So I guess screw the fans right.

Just like he said screw the fans when he 1) refused random blood testing, 2) demanded announced testing (hmm...) and 3) turned down a record-setting guarantee at the time -- a purse it would take him three fights to make otherwise.

But Floyd's the bad guy here? Come on.

If you're talking about Floyd, I stil disagree with you tho lol.

I see what you mean about that auto-correct though, my "disagree" turned into "disgrace" and I had to go back and fix it!

Hahahaha! Yes, it happens! Thanks bro

I'm just telling you -- I know. You probably wouldn't believe what I say anyway so I'm not going to share it.

But I know for a 100% fact -- and not just from a fan's perspective but from firsthand information. And as a matter of fact he did say it personally. But words don't mean much so I don't put too much into that either way.

I'm talking about action. And I've seen attempts of negotiation with my own eyes. I've seen the original contract.

I will say this about Mayweather though: One thing Floyd is is that he's a control freak. And while he's a super duper star now, I don't think he was quite as big as he thought he was. He proved me wrong, though.

Makes him tough to deal with. You can't bully him around. Remember when he retired? That wasn't because of Cotto, Margarito and so forth. He didn't care about them.

It was because they didn't pay him what he felt he deserved for the rematch with Oscar. So he took his ball and went home. Which is his prerogative; he certainly was the one who sold the fight.

But as for Pacquiao, there is not one single, solitary ounce of fear in his heart for Pacquiao. He truly believes -- you can choose whether you believe me or not -- but he truly doesn't think that's a tough fight.

He thinks Marquez is a tougher fight for him.

Dont have selective memory like the others. He lowballed him back in the day, pacquiao said hed fight him for free recently. Two COMPLETELY different scenarios. "And you acknowledge that Manny turned down the deal, thereby acknowledging that Floyd indeed tried to make the fight." I acknowledged that he turned down a low-ball offer that only an idiot would take. That DOES NOT prove any point whatsoever. The only thing that proves is that al haymon is a smart businessman.

He didnt refuse random blood testing. He did refuse to test two weeks prior to the fight. Two different things. A lowball offer that only an idiot would take.

It's another great, factual example that makes a mockery of your position by virtue of its veracity. You said only Hispanics. I proved you wrong. Again.

(So what if he was a draw in Europe? Did he ever carry a PPV here on his own? OK, then.)

You want to nitpick at the facts? Completely irrelevant (and doesn't support your position either way). The fact that you're bending over backwards to find fault with shows your complete lack of objectivity.

Now that you don't have a factual leg to stand on does this now become the point where you start with the ***** and Floydiot stuff...?

He retired saying boxing is not gonna retire him. funny how cotto lost to margarito and then margarito lost to mosley, he comes out of retirement and fights mosley.
