Comments Thread For: Roach Feels Mayweather-Pacquiao Closer Than Ever

Floyd will announce the fight, part of the deal. They will announce it on Feb 1.

Where'd you hear this?

big fight but lets be honest here,both are kind of past their primes,so this fight to me isn't as interesting as if could have been 5 years ago,floyd faster and manny juiced up back then,but of course that's why he refused the testing

That's what I keep telling people. It's better than nothing but at the end of the day we get a 38 year old Mayweather VS a 36 year old Pacquaio??? These guys are just about old enough to be Grandpa's

and both are still the best fighters in the division....

Lets face the truth here. Floyd aint making money fighting khan or brook or anyone else.

Pacmans dream is coming true.

I completely agree. Neither fighter really has anywhere to go other than to see each other. I believe PPV numbers will be poor for both fighters no matter who they fight.

The public is not going to keep shelling out money to see these guys fight a bunch of "no hopers". It makes complete since for these guys to fight each other twice, maybe even a trilogy if their fights are competitive (which I personally doubt).

Floyd can find a way out even on fight night.

Very honest commenting by Roach. He states that he knows very little about the proceedings and hopes the fight will happen.
