Comments Thread For: Roach: Will Haymon Give Up Mayweather or Garcia?

[LADIV]

However, history also says that Haymon did "like" the Pacquiao vs. Garcia fight, but it was Arum that did "not like" the fight.

November 13, 2014:

Not including himself, six of the nine fighters on ESPN's top 10 ranking for the welterweight division are unavailable to Manny Pacquiao because of the politics surrounding the sport of boxing today.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., Keith Thurman, Marcos Maidana, Shawn Porter, Devon Alexander and Robert Guerrero are all signed with Al Haymon who Pacquiao's people—Top Rank and HBO—refuse to work with at the current time.

Two other names on the top 10 list are Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, a pair that Pacquiao has fought a combined six times. Besides Kell Brook, there isn't a single compelling matchup available to Pacquiao in the welterweight division.

Some of you might be thinking that a move back down to junior welterweight might make matchmaking a little easier, but many of the top guys in that division like Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner, Lucas Matthysse and Lamont Peterson are also signed with Haymon, which makes all of those matchups dead on arrival as well.

Pacquiao is already a lock for the Hall of Fame in my view and I'm sure in the view of most others, so he doesn't have much if anything left to prove. But it is a shame that years of his career are being wasted on fighting the likes of Brandon Rios and Chris Algieri.

There is nobody to blame but pacquiao and arum for pacquiao to be fightng the likes of rios and algieri's...for some ***en reason this buster pacquiao keeps re signing with arum...why ???? Or what does arum have on him...makes you wonder sometimes

Manny's team is the worst! WHo said he was afraid of needles...Arum. Who said Ariza was "shady," and he gave Manny suspect shakes...Freddie. It's like they have no idea what they're doing to Manny's reputation. On top of that:

"The current contract [between Top Rank and Pacquiao] was never shown to me. Mike hid it from me. He did not show the contract to me. He did not inform me. I told Mike, 'You know that it is for the best interest of Manny that no contract should be signed for the moment because apparently that is what Floyd [Mayweather] wants or his condition," explained Gacal, who is currently recovering from a stroke that left him paralyzed on the right side of his body. He also pointed the finger at Koncz for the current tax issues that Pacquiao is going through. "Well, it appears there is really a problem. The IRS is claiming there is a tax deficiency. If there were some mistakes, it was Mike's fault. Why did it happen? They were supposed to have hired accountants. At the end of the year, after the filing of the tax returns, all problems should have been solved. If the US still has claims, there should be problems with recording and everything. So this is the point man's fault and that is Mike"

Gacal also suggested that Koncz may not have Pacquiao's best interest at heart and is more concerned about maintaining good relations with Arum. "Mike looks up to Bob Arum when Pacquiao is done with boxing. When Pacquiao is done, who is he? So he has to maintain his good relations with Bob Arum," Gacal continued in an interview with Edwin Espejo of Rappler.com. He went on to explain why Pacquiao has kept Koncz around for so long. "Manny is a good man. If you show him loyalty and you really work for him, you will be rewarded. Steal from him 10 times and asked for forgiveness once, he will forgive you 11 times."

I don't think they genuinly care for pacquiao...they are more concerned about what they can steal from him, or the money they make off of him...he should have left a long time ago and be a free agent but for some reason this ***er keeps going back,so there is nobody to blame but him

...How is that a cherry pick?

[jsmith_tsu]

Let me translate for those who dont speak Roach.:

" We want to move to 140 and fight Danny Garcia."
Roach is a ****ing joke

[isidius]

If Garcia swings wildly and catches Pac, lights out - again.
