Freddie Roach Says That Floyd Mayweather is the Only Challenge for Manny Pacquiao

Whether or not the Mayweather fight will happen
“I hope so because that is the biggest challenge in the world for us. Mayweather, he’s a little crazy and all that, but he can fight. He’s a good boxer and I just hope that fight happens because that’s the only challenge out there. I feel if he doesn’t come to the table that we might have no options and Manny might just go to Politics and get out of boxing because Maywehather won’t fight him. He’s the only real challenge out there that I can see at this point. I hope that fight happens as bad as you do. A lot of people want to see us kick his ass too and we will do that.”

1st off I JUST WANT THEM TO FIGHT ALSO!!!!!....
2nd thing - i hate all this flomo pactard fanboy Bull****, I am fan of the sport!
But - a 7 day window and wanting to know what days the testers are coming is no compromise, FACT!!
Drugs testing should not be an issue, these two are the best boxers on the planet and they should be leading by example and should be more than willing to prove they are the no 1 P4P AND they are clean
Mayweather did not ask for anything of Manny, that he was not willing to do himself
If he had of just agreed to the issue in the 1st place, and not made a big thing of it, it would not be raising eyebrows :Thinkingo
I honestly think this whole fiasco is hurting Pacquaio's reputation because lets be honest it does look very suspicious at this stage
All the excuses why his team are coming up with is ridiculous its Olympic Style drugs testing the best athletes, Footballers, Baseball, NBA players take these tests NO PROBLEM
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
There is no such thing kid, there's no article or link that supports this, Random OST will be administered during the entire training period upto the 7 days window prior to the fight and 1 more right after, this is a fact!!! And i am a boxing fan that just wanted the fight to happen, and the 7 days window is a very good compromise, but if you don't want Floyd to fight Manny then let him be as arrogant as he is and hide behind that 0 days!!! NEGOTIATIONS DOESN'T START OR STOP IN JUST ONE DIRECTION, IT IS NOT A NEGOTIATION IF IT JUST FAVOR ONE WAY...
:lol1:
Like I always suspected.

ignore him hes one of boxingscenes unintelligent posters to talk to who still has a delusion that hes a smartass
Roach: "Floyd is a little crazy but he can fight. He's the only challenge left."
Translation: "It's The Biggest Paycheck For Manny And I Out There Right Now."
End of......
Paul williams couldn't sell out his backyard until recently
he's nowhere near the economic draw of many of the "easier" oppoenents for mayweatherr and pacquiao.
cotto, margarito, khan, hell even berto would all be more likely to make a bigger splash outside of the boxing world (where the big PPV money is,)
Not to mention he's 6'2-6'3" depending on who you ask
and he's got a huge reach for a heavyweight
he lost to carlos quintana...
there are too many excuses from the mayweather and pacquiao people for the williams camp to "Force" anything from a the real cash cows of the sport (mayweather and pacquiao)
those guys wont even step in the ring for less than ten mil
why would they give a big payday to a guy who's never earned anything close to what they've got to bring to the table as far as fans and money?
let paul get the middleweight championship belt around his waist
batter pavlik in front of a huge crowd and make a huge splash
and maybe earn the right to force the big money dogs to fight him for the glory(and MW world championship) if they've got the balls
(if manny wins the MW world championship he's a top 10 p4p all time fighter in anybody's book)
Your just a F****ing hater if you keep on believing that Manny is just a juicer for continuously ignoring that 0 days, boxing is 20% physical skills and 80% mental aptitude/psych war!!! And pissing contest is a big part of that psych war!!! I was disappointed at Manny when the 1st nego crumbled because of this mental stubbornness, I know he's no juicer and he could of just easily took Floyd's bluff and sign in for the fight, but he didn't. Manny and Roach just doesn't want to give this first part of the battle to Floyd, mentally... But then, Manny really wants this fight to happen, so they started the 2nd nego with a very good compromise of 7 negligible days... Now you have to admit it, even if you are a flomo that a 7 days window is a great compromise already, you have to be stupid to think that Manny will still use that 7 days to beef up and take in every possible PED that he can use that he wasn't able to gobbled on during training to cheat, it will be dangerous for his health and very risky not to get caught!!! So now i am more disappointed at Floyd for he should have taken this, sign the contract and fight, and if he really is too arrogant to take the 7 days with no qualm, then Floyd should of sit down with Manny properly and counter their offer with 5 o 3 days and Manny may have agreed to it also.. the thing is I JUST WANT THEM TO FIGHT EACH OTHER!!!!

There is no reason for him to leave the sport, if he can just take the RANDOM mother fu*king test!!!!! Whats the problem?
and another thing WTF is he doing getting into politics at 32.... like i respect his intentions..... but at 32.... he could do this in a few years...in his boxing PRIME..... and he is seriously considering walking away from the sport without making the biggest fight in history???????
This will be the fight of our generation people and
if Pacman walks, without fighting Mayweather....... I really hope the history books remember him very badly.....as a cheating catchweight ducking juice head
If he does make the fight before retiring.... I willl love him long time :D ha

Its true, manny's not a 154 fighter, so if the Mayweather fight bails, theres not much for him to do other than fight Williams at 147 maybe, or a rematch with JMM at 140. I think the martinez fight is out of question.

Not gonna talk about the testing. That sh!t is crazy! But politics is like entertainment the person has to strike while the iron is hot. Why do you think Manny didn't want to fight PBF before the election? Cause he knew if he lost that fight it would effect is campaign and he more than likely would have lost. As much as Manny fans would hate to admit it Roach is right that Manny losing would hurt his political career. I am not Philipino and don't know how sh!t works over there. I live in america and I think people were crazy and dumb sacks of sh!t to vote Arnold Swarzanagger as a govenor and make Ronald Regan president. Those people are fvcking actors not politicians. I am not saying people can't make that transition but they were both unqualified for the jobs and won off popularity.
No he is too slow and flat footed , speed will kill him .
To Freddies statement , Pac is not a 154 fighter why call Martinez etc why not call Klit at CW lol ,,,,,,, Floyd vs Pac is THE fight , they are both the same weightclass and both great fighters , all other fights are just fabricated CWs that are not a true indication , its like handicaping a racehorse with more weight on his back , a fair fight is when fighters are real close to the same size as is a race where they all carry the same weight .
Good post.
Roach is fairly correct, there is really no reason for Manny to stay in the sport if the Floyd fight can not happean atleast in terms of challenges.
Wait...so if they can't agree to terms Manny should take an extended vacation? Oh dear...
Boxing is not in the long term interests of anyones health so if Manny has achieved all he can, if he doesn't need the money why risk his future health.
It is fairly pointless unless he wants to stack mroe paper before he retires and even then he should be looking past the sport more every day.
Bump... im interest to see if roach is pissing anyone else off lately

^^
co-sign. Floyd and Manny @ 147, standard ring size, 8 oz gloves of the fighters choice, MGM Grand and random OST is the fairest and closest fight possible in boxing today.
Im losing respect for Freddie Roach by the months go by.....
I really think he just just shut the fu*k up mentioning floyd at every opportunity he gets it, it gettin very annoying and repetative at this stage.
He should be concentrating on the Margacheato fight anyway, he should not be trying to build publicity on the back of mayweathers name........
Seriously how many times has mayweathers name been brought up since 24/7 started..... ITS A JOKE
At the end of the day no matter what way you wanna look at it Pacquaios camp that WOULD NOT accept "RANDOM" drugs testing..... END OF!!!!!
Both side have had nearly 2 years to make this fight happen.... AND IT STILL HASNT BEEN MADE. :mad::mad::mad:
I and im sure 90% of real boxing fans would like nothing more, if both side do not mention the other side until the fu*king fight is made......
I mean really..... it is just getting embarrassing for the state of boxing at this stage, that the biggest fight in history cannot be made:sad2:

crazy??? no ****, but roid rage is the better word to use.
