While I respect and can appreciate what Freddie Roach has done for boxing and the fighters in his stable, I find it highly ignorant, on the part of Ross and the good ol boys at HBO for not considering such a show for previous trainers who could've been more entertaining.
Such as:
1.) Floyd Mayweather Sr- A reality show with that nut would be hysterical.
2.) Zab Judahs Dad- His reality show theme song would be "Hit em like dis Zab..bap bup bappity boop"
3.)The Great Dundee-He'd be cursing out everyone.
4.) Nazim Richardson- would be handing out bean pies to everyone in his show
5.) Jack Mosely-Nevermind that one
6.) Eddie Futch: He'd really educate the public on pugilism like no other.
My point is this ...why Freddie? Because he trains the best fighter in the world probably has something to do with it but it still seems a tad biased.
Opinions?
Parkinsons and still training? check!
Famous Wild Card Gym? check!
Celebrities visiting the gym? check!
Amir, Pac & Chavez Jr - 3 different countries? check!
Feud and drama with the mayweathers? check!
I don't see why this won't be good television if you ask me. But I'm just speaking in terms of ratings here.
aren't tv shows about ratings? I'm sure you can find a trainer that is more deserving that 99.5% of people don't know, but that isn't the point now is it?
yes. he hardly trains anymore. how would the show work out? do an episode once/twice a year?
I can understand roach more than I can understand the mayweathers. Naz would be dope, though
:lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:
Expect Senior to spew some big time hate because of this.. Mayweathers are going to be jealous. Mark my words your going to hear something from one of them hating about this. Floyd jr already intimating that he is loyal to HBO, jabbing at manny's departure by doing so, now they are giving his trainer a show??...
More famous than Manny Steward? Doubt it.
I rather watch Steward, The Mayweathers or Brother Naz. Seriously Roach can barely talk as his condition and never was entertaining or interesting to me.
because roach is the most famous trainer right now.
shouldn't be too hard to figure out
That isn't the point simpleton. Yes, he is the most famous but is he the most deserving?
