Comments Thread For: Roach: Not Sure If Pacquiao is Mad at Me - I Haven't Been Paid

[WesternChamp]

Why are still bringing up that they were both boxers? Just that statement tells me you have no clue on the history of boxing! Do you know what professional boxers were making in the 1970's? Do you know how many people have to get paid from the boxer's split? Do you know how many shady promoters refer fighters to a lawyer or accountant that actually works in the promoter's interest and not the fighter? And if your father makes money, but doesn't live in your house or pay bills in your house, are you not still broke as ****? Have you never heard of a "dead beat dad?" GTFOH!

here is the point that you keep ignoring. floyd had sr and roger, who were BOTH professional boxers. i dont care how much they made back in those days, my point is that floyd wasnt on the streets, starving. the fact that you are even trying to compare this with manny's up bringing LOL LOL LOL

sure i've heard of a deadbeat dad, that's manny's pops. LOL LOL LOL

Not one who fought horn no chance but 12 months before he beat bradley so easy who i think is a better fighter than any fighter either spence or crawford has fought i always think back to mosley v margirito he had that one last hurah in him hope manny has to just to put fingers up to arum and **** roach

A few things:

1) Manny has never truly been the same since the JMM KO. (even though he's fought well)

2) Manny is 38 years old and that's beyond a fighters prime in the first place.

3) Horn is a whole lot more talented and tougher than he's being given credit for.

4) Manny really won even against all of those odds and should be shown some atg respect. The guy always brings it and even at this age was fun as hell to watch.

Like I said before, that Saturday night (or Sunday morning actually) was rock bottom for that entire team. Flat out. Of their entire run. The JMM KO wasn't, and neither was losing to Floyd. Those were against two first ballot Hall of Famers. Two of the best of their generation.

Team Pacquiao thought this was going to be easy money. A quick little showcase and money grab against a nobody. It was the perfect storm, though. Go to a guy's country, his own backyard with 50,000 Australians behind him. The kid had absolutely zero to lose and EVERYTHING to gain. And he fought like it, too. So many people said that it was going to be a f**king cakewalk but I was worried about this fight from the onset. And I expressed that sentiment here but I was largely laughed at. Posters thought I was just saying that **** to legitimize the fight. But here you have a guy with nothing to lose, and a rabid, robust crowd right behind him, and in the other corner you have a 38 year old, end of the line, part-time fighter who has been on the biggest stages this sport has offered. And you're going to get up for a no-name if you're Manny? When everyone is telling you that this guy is a nobody and a guy that you can KO at a time of your choosing? When you've been through 68 some career pro fights? When you've fought under the brightest lights this sport has to offer? And you're gonna get up mentally for this? A guy you didn't even know existed? When you're a full-time politician?

Horn was young, hungry, and had absolutely nothing to lose. Fighting off the incredible adrenaline of fighting an old legend in front of your countrymen.

It was a recipe for disaster. And disaster happened. Which is leading to all this finger pointing. Freddie doesn't even take responsibility for his own corner. His ass was blaming f**king Buboy, lmao. Arum blames the entire corner. Manny comes out publicly and says that he felt set up and now dude won't even look his own trainer in the eye.

Rock f**king bottom.

This is a damn great observation


Well said.

Spence only beat a weight drained kell brook who won most the early rounds v spence seen nothing there to jump on his *** over crawford bit better career so far but nothing on manny pacs career one poor fight in 13 years in which i think he won anyway is gettin blown way out of hand

[Floyd is TBE]

Pac better pay the man. Roach knows his secrets.

[aboutfkntime]

I spend so much time educating these so-called Pacquiao fans! They feel obligated to defend Arum, no matter what he does! He's a snake!

fcuk them

I remember laughing at pacfans years ago for thinking that Arum was a kindly old man and father-figure, who had Pac's best interests at heart

ridiculous

Since Manny was so impoverished, I wonder how he was able to support his drug addiction.


“I have tried drugs before, and then I realized it’s not good for the body. I accept it, I cannot deny it, that was before, and that’s [why] I strongly support the president, that he fights illegal drugs,” he said.

The drugs included methamphetamine, locally known as shabu, marijuana and *******. Pacquiao said he used them “for years” but it was when he was a teenager and before he “became a champion”.

[aboutfkntime]

try living on the streets or in the jungle instead and see how that works out.

so floyd lived in a house with no lights, heat??? LOL!!!! why are you bringing up tyson??? floyd is NOT tyson. mike didnt have a dad and uncle who were BOTH professional boxers.

when did i said bob saved manny's life???? LOL!!! the hate is so strong you are making shiiet up. bob has done manny dirty, there is no denying that, and bob has also blessed manny.

if Pacquiao really is an ATG, then he would have gained that recognition himself, simply by winning..... right?

..... surely someone would have picked him up, someone that did not view Manny as their personal cash-cow to manipulate and take advantage of?

if there is any substance to Pac, then he would have made it without Bob..... right?

forget that.....

when it became obvious YEARS AGO that Arum was ripping him off, why didn't Pac leave?
