Is Freddie Roach Right? "Floyd Needs Pacquiao, We don't Need Him"

manny is exciting... floyd fights are baked fights.

People would pay to watch Pac KO a nobody. Not too many people would pay to watch Floyd UD a nobody. Floyd being American also helps his PPV numbers. a hit right off the bat. :fing02: :boxing:

Spot on. Anyone can fill an arena but how much will people have paid? People pay more yo see Floyd fighting let's see them pay floyd to fight mosley! fight mosley or die!

Really? how come i never hear them cheer when he fights? they always get drowned out by his opponents fans. . Many people also went to see Ali fights not only to see him win, but many to see him lose. It's not whether you have fans that like you or hate you...as long as you have fans and those fans pay money to see you fight (win or lose). I heard he never won his fights....is that true? http://www.thesportgallery.com/products/gorgeousgeorge-water.jpg He of course won many and pissed off many while doing it. Floyd isn't Jack Johnson though. http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/jackjohnson/home_sigimage_top.jpg

BOTH should STFU and take the 50-50!!! :boxing:

Freddie Roach recently said that it's Manny who puts the asses in the seats. Who deserves to have the bigger slice of the purse? this is way premature... I don't even know if pac gets past cotto.

Floyd is waiting for Chris John to announce his challenge

If floyd dont need Pac then tell me who his gonna fight??? Mosley, clottey, cotto Yeah Right.. Floyd dont want none of those WW's..

People would pay to watch Pac KO a nobody. Not too many people would pay to watch Floyd UD a nobody. But i think many people pay to hopefully see Floyd be beaten. Floyd being American also helps his PPV numbers.

40-40 with 20 to the winner, a real prize fight.

No doubt that Floyd has the bigger PPV numbers but he wasn't the draw in his two biggest PPVs (De La Hoya & Hatton) and it seems that Marquez is who brought the fans in, even though many of those could've just of been going for Marquez to spite Floyd. Manny has more than an entire nation behind him and I know so many Filipinos that can't name any other fighter but Manny Pacquiao and they watch everything he does. Floyd has fans, but they are a non-descript group while they are undoubtedly passionate about their man as they should be, it seems they create more detractors for Floyd than he does. I have watched 3 PPVs with Mayweather in them, and rooting for the other guy in all 3 because I genuinely liked them more (I am a HUGE Marquez fan and my feelings on Floyd had nothing to do with who I was going to root for), but in all 3 I never once thought that Hatton, Oscar, or JMM would win. I have only seen 1 with Manny and I wasn't rooting for him either. I believe Manny deserves the bigger share of the pie based on his larger draw in my opinion, but that's just me.

well one thing floyd came back is to get a big payday against pac so we know floyd does pac. Pac on the other hand was going to get a mega fight with mosley or cotto so he doesn't need floyd. Floyd will bring in the most moneys but pac was ok before floyd ever came back. If they do fight i belive it should be 50/50. If pac say i want more, more power to pac because i know he can always make 10+ millions against mosley or margarito. Floyd will pretty much be stuck because he probably won't get in the ring with all the true welters. ++1................

floyd has teh richer fans Yet barley 10% of the Boxing crowd ever show up during fight night who supports Mayweather.... Either that or HBO is racist, and avoids to put them in camera.

Why do you think Floyd returned? For JMM? Nope and calderon..:eek:

Everyone knows deep down that Floyd will outbox anyone they put infront of him, he's proved it time after time. I'm not a huge fan but at the moment he's unbeatable.

i think pac deserves the bigger split but since the fans and boxing needs pac-pbf to happen, they should both take 50-50

Why do you think Floyd returned? For JMM?

Why do you think floyd came out of retirement???? He won't even fight shane who called him out in his face infront of millions.. Floyd can go **** himself and retire again if he thinks he gonna get bigger % especially when pac beats cotto... pac dont need him..

floyd has teh richer fans
