Roach going on record about Pac not needing Floyd

[Easy-E]

Call me an optimist but I think Roach antagonising Floyd is probably more of an indication that the fight is on the cards. Roach wants to get into his head and wrangle an advantage in the negotiations.

Numbers dont lie, Floyd has proven he is the bigger draw.

Seriously, Mayweather may end up beating Pac in the form of Cotto if Roach doesn't wisen up. Worry about Cotto. Mayweather never brought up Pacquiao when going against a lesser opponent in Marquez. Pacquiao has a tougher challenge and you would think he's fighting Mayweather on November 14th.


Mayweather looked better against Marquez after a two year layoff than he did againt De La Hoya, Hatton and Baldomir. This worries Roach because I think he was banking that Mayweather was losing his drive, reflexes, and offensive ability.

Unless perhaps Pacquiao pulls a Floyd and Mayweather baits Pacquiao out of retirement. A little far fetched I know.

Indeed he has but Arum, Pacquiao and co. won't give up on 50% that easily.

It could be both

But i think Roach and Arum want Pacquiao to avoid Floyd ( disgustingly horrible business decision )

BUT...

Pacquiao is a warrior and hopefully he demands the fight or splits from Arum ( Cotto should also split from Arum )

[Cyse]

Roach should mind his own business...

He trains! He doesn't make matches!

Both floyd and manny need each other. Although its a miss match considering size... the general public wouldn't really realize this...

All they see are 2 great names. And that's where all the money would come from.

Both would make a boat-load of cash!

Well you can't diminish his whole resume. Don't you think that's unfair?

sure..i give manny credit for the 1st barrera fight..[abarrera who had 60 fights] and ofcourse hatton

[the worst version of hatton weve ever seen c'mon at 140??]

and yes i will give manny credit if he does beat cotto..however dont forget that cotto is possibly past it and comin in at a catchweight..

but anyways it certainly seems that roach doesnt want anything to do wit floyd mayweather..

A lot of Floyd fans agree that Pacquiao is an ATG and the credible one's give Pacquiao and Roach their credit where it is due. But Floyd doesn't get the credit for his numbers. His numbers are huge and you're right, numbers don't lie. Mayweather puts up monster PPV numbers and there's no way Mayweather will agree to get the lesser split of the purse with any boxer at this point, not even 50/50. Floyd is the biggest fighter in PPV right now.

When you do a million PPVs with a JM Marquez, then that's when you know you don't need any particular fighter. You fight who you wanna fight and you'll do big numbers regardless.

Floyd is to big and strong plus his defense is special i love how the haters give him no credit for that,Pac is a great fighter himself but he is tailor made for Floyd,i would rather see Pac at 140 fighting Bradley,and Floyd at 147 figting Mosley or maybe even Berto.

[hugh grant]

Whoever has the better resume the one with the worse resume needs the other.
I would say Pac has the better resume name wise. So that means PBF needs Pac. Easy equation.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
