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

[gamesworn]

Roach showing his true color again. He blames everyone on his team except himself and then complains about his payday and declaring it to media instead of talking to Manny personally.

Just another leech in Pacquiao's team.

There's true Pacquiao fans, that love Manny, and then there are those who defend Bob Arum and Top Rank as an extension (they also hate Al Haymon for no other reason, but for being an extension of Floyd) of Manny. I think after the Horn fight, people are starting to see the dark side of Top Rank. I just pointed this out someone yesterday, regarding TR's shady practices with Mikey Garcia:

January 27, 2017:

Garcia was on the track to becoming a superstar in the sport, but there was an underlying problem brewing that would eventually derail his career.

"I started to notice a pattern in the way the negotiations would go down [with Top Rank] after I beat Orlando Salido," Garcia said.

Garcia claimed that Top Rank would not pay him the full negotiated amount after several fights, saying his opponents were to blame for a reduced purse.

"It was always a fight with them. I took a $100,000 pay cut on the Rocky Martinez fight, and I got about $150,000 less than what I was promised for the next fight. It started to add up," Garcia said.



You may very well be correct, that Manny hasn't been paid, or paid properly! He might not have been paid properly for some time now. Already there seems to be a dispute regarding whether the Horn fight was the final fight of the contract! This tactic is not new either! This from the same article above:

While Garcia was unhappy with Top Rank, he figured his contract with the company would expire on Feb. 27, 2014, and he would be able to sign elsewhere. Top Rank, however, told him his contract automatically renewed following a title win or a successful title defense, which Garcia said would indefinitely keep him under an outdated deal he signed in 2009

That's crazy...

Roach and Arum been playing Pac his whole career, straight rinsing dude........

What happened that day, and the looks on that team after the fact, reminded me of the same looks you see in the NCAA basketball tournament when a 2 seed falls to a 15 seed or a 3 seed falls to a 14. Pure shell shock. And I keep seeing people say that Manny took it great and even looked like he didn't care...I totally disagree. Sure he spouted off the same hollow "I respect the judges" bull**** but dude looked like he wanted to go crawl under a f**king rock.

the difference is, floyd had a house, a roof over him. a place to sleep, etc!! mofo was in the gym as a ******** kid learning how to box already!!! dont ever try to compare floyd's upbringing with manny. shiiet aint even close and its pretty pathetic for you to even try and compare to 2.

I don't know where your from, but if you live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the winter, with no heat and no lights, it's not a nice place! If you Mike Tyson, and your mother is a whore, and her dates are strangling your throat while hanging you out the window at age 10, it's not a nice place to be. Was Bob Arum the promoter that brought Manny into professional boxing? Was Freddie Roach the trainer that took Manny into his gym in the Philippines? There are people responsible for saving Manny's life, and Bob Arum is NOT one of them!

That's crazy...

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!

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

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!
