Comments Thread For: Roach on Mayweather Demands: Gimme a F***in' Break!

[jai mari078]

supposedly there is also an issue with pacquiao wearing his cleto reyes gloves. Im serious, if thats true, I would have lost the last ounce of respect I have for mayweather. Thats just a straight b^tch move and theres no way to defend that bullsh^t.

Oh i guarantee Floyd is not wanting Pac to wear his gloves, if this is tr*e no way would i accept that if I was Pacquiao. That is a straight bitc* move

Yeah figured you cant much about it. lol Floyds ducking again. lmfao! :AOR: Floyds a puszy! heheheheheeeeee

This is the only come back from Pacquiao's fans.

Arum/Pacquiao: Mayweather is scared of us he don't want to fight. We tried everything to make the fight.

Mayweather: I want to fight Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd. Bob Arum is the one blocking this fight.

Bob Arum: May 2nd is a Mexican Holiday and only Mexicans should fight on that day. It would be disrespectful to Mexicans to fight on that day.

Pacquiao fans: Mayweather is ducking!

What else can you guys say when Arum and Manny continually make you look like JACK ASSES.

Pacquiao fans do not understand these facts. They always talk about how popular Manny is but his #'s don't compare. Arum/Manny are acting like they are supposed to be in control totally ignoring that Floyd is the A side in the match up. Before when they were neck and neck Floyd agreed to 50/50 but now that is not the case. I want and always wanted to see the fight but in my opinion Arum and Team Pacquiao have been the biggest obstacles to making this fight a reality. They seem content off of living off of Mayweather's name to sell Manny as a threat but never intend or fighting him. They just want to market Manny as Mayweather's equal because if they really felt Manny was then Bob would have made that fight happen years ago. Why Pacquiao fans continue to be blinded when everything is right there is beyond me because it really makes them look like JACK ASSES.

Easy Work TBE said this "Roach needs to just shut up already, no one even cares what he says anymore hes like some grumpy ass old man lmao."

I said he is very wrong, I told him you even have roach's sig on you which means you believe what roach said right?

[GRUSTLER]

not a pacfan just calling out out bulls!t when I read it anybody who thinks Pac is going to get lowball is nuts Pac is not Canelo who took it up the ass in his deal Bob is not going to let that happen to Pac. if anything this fight wont happen because of the money

Ummm Pacquiao already said he would take less to make the fight soooo in actuality he already doesn't see himself as an equal to Mayweather. I say make it 60/40 in favor of Mayweather and make the fight happen for May 2nd. I don't agree that it is money because if it was money then the fight would have been made a long time ago. Floyd wanted it and Manny didn't because he felt he didn't have to do what Mayweather asked. Pacquiao has always been more difficult to negotiate with than Mayweather just look at Cotto/Hatton negotiations.

Roach says a lot of things in the press but when you actually control your own way of thinking and can decipher what you read and see then you know that he was/is right about them dropping the ball on the first negotiation because the fact is that Team Manny were the ones who walked away from the fight due to a problem with Floyd's testing demands so how is Roach not telling the truth in this case? Only a damn fool can't see the writing on the wall.

bolded letters simply means you only believe roach when he said something from "a lot of things" when it suits your purpose.

Floyd mayweather Jr. is "scared to death" of Manny Pacquiao period.

First I wasn't comparing anything. The poster I responded to said that De La Hoya chose the gloves for the fight against Mayweather, another poster said no because 10 ounce are the minimum size for gloves at jr middleweight. The first poster then back tracked and I explained there was no need to back track because De La Hoya did in fact choose the gloves.

But since you brought it up, it doesn't matter what Pac did years ago, all that matters is what his latest fights have done, and he is being out sold no contest. Mayweather makes double what Pac makes on guarantee, Mayweather's last 5 PPV totals doubled Pacs last 5 PPV and the price is higher for a Mayweather PPV, his fights with Cotto and Canelo alone are almost 4 million buys. Mayweather effectively doubles anything Pac does and there is nothing wrong with Mayweather expecting the negotiations to reflect that.

Pac's negotiating power is reflected in name alone and that's it. He may be the second biggest draw in boxing, but his numbers right now show him closer to the guys at 3 and 4, no where near #1.

Next time keep your response in context rather then looking foolish.

Pat for you sir

Forget the past, Pacs last US fight did about the same as Floyds

Shut your dumb ass up seriously bruh. Did Manny not agree to the demand yes or no? Did Manny walk away from the fight or not? If the answer is YES which it should be then that only means Roach saying it was their fault means to was/is true you JACK ASS! I don't mean to bark at you but damn man. Take your head out of your ass for one minute and stop being a mindless robot fanatic and just call a spade a spade. Manny didn't want to fight Mayweather when it truly counted because he didn't want to do RANDOM blood testing which you said yourself he should not have. You're basically saying it was ok for Manny to duck the fight because Floyd knew how Manny felt about giving blood due to the Morales fight but later said Manny agreed to the testing? So what changed his mind from him getting weak by giving blood stance? He ducked the fight plain and simple and Roach admitted it was their fault. History shows that....

Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed to unlimited random urine testing, but Mayweather also insisted on random blood testing, even though the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which would oversee the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, requires only urine testing.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) didn't want blood testing but later relented and agreed to three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would have taken place next week, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

When they could not come to an agreement, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, turned to a mediator, retired judge Daniel Weinstein, who had successfully mediated a series of disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy in 2007.

But after nine hours in mediation on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., and further attempts to come to a resolution on Wednesday failed, the fight was pronounced dead by the Pacquiao camp.

"Stop treating pacquiao the C-side instead of B-side and this fight should proceed as smoothly as originally planned."

The only thing that's keeping this fight on hold is "fairness". Most of the people talking at both sides are professionals, there is no use trying to trick each other about what is really fair and what isn't. Nobody is fooling anybody. As soon as fairness is established, fight proceeds smoothly.

If other side is hopelessly stubborn, so be it. Stop buying their PPV's. As boxing fans, it's our only weapon--our ultimate payback for their greediness.
