Comments Thread For: Roach wants May 2 fight between Floyd, Pacquiao

Told ya'll.............. fraud jr lost, take it like a man. ;)

This fight was the worst thing that happened to floyds life. People saw him lose against a one armed Pacquiao lol, major sites rescored the fight for Pac. Everybody stopped talking about the fight and didnt count it as official as soon as they saw Pac get surgery and now wait for the official fight when Pacquiao has two working arms. This will haunt floyd forever lol. Pacquiao owned him. :lol1:

This fight would still be a mega fight but the worth has been sucked from it and the outcome would always have excuses attached to it....the business side of boxing killed this fight.........BUT HEY WE STILL GET SH1T THREADS EVERYDAY ABOUT IT WHERE PEOPLE WHO AINT GOT 1 PENNIES TO RUB TOGETHER GET TO CALL EACH OTHER NAMES,AND CALL PRO FIGHTERS COWARDS.. Told ya'll..............

everyone but floyd wants that everyone but floyd..

Pac and Roach wants Floyd. But Arum.................................................. The date is not gonna make any difference in ppv sales of Pac-Floyd fight. Cinco De Mayo weekend is just a stumbling block for Floyd and wants to dictate all the negotiations of the fight. FIGHT WILL NOT HAPPEN, NEVER EVER.

Floyd is too much of a coward. he will never fight Manny! i wish you're wrong braduh but it seems like fraud jr is still scared of the possibility that he might lose to pac. #fightpacquiao

Yes, he is, dumbass. Because Forbes simply reports what the promoters and websites say and when the promoter is Bob Arum, what he says is not necessarily the truth. Even an idiot should be able to see that. The promoter said that Pacquaio was going to be paid $20 million guarantee for Bradley II. However, the contract stated that Pac was guaranteed $6.5 million. It is obviously my opinion, but i don't believe that Arum paid Pacquaio the same amount of money for 300,000 PPV buys as he did for 800,000 buys. Well since bob arum received a site fee of 8+ mill with 0 taxes it is perfectly logical to see how he came** up with the 20 million dollar figure. I must not understand da bidness doe. However, i do find it ironic that your sig describes you. You are given the facts from multiple sources. Decide that the facts do not suit your agenda, so you come up your own "opinions". :pat:

Yeah i guess bob arum is so smart he can even fool forbes. Salary/Winnings $41 M http://www.forbes.com/profile/manny-pacquiao/ :pat::pat::pat: Yes, he is, dumbass.

It doesn't matter if it is fair or not. If Pacquaio wants to make more than the fictional $20 million guarantee (translated $5 million) that Arum pays him for each fight now, he has no choice but to take what Mayweather is offering him.

Floyd fights on May and Sept every year..is the highest selling boxer..and somehow this is a roadblock??? Oscar himself said he would move Cotto-Canelo for that fight.. Oscar also said that he doesn't see Manny vs Floyd happening. Tha tis why he said what you posted.

So, you tell me is the $40 million flat fee is a fair offer? It doesn't matter if it is fair or not. If Pacquaio wants to make more than the fictional $20 million guarantee (translated $5 million) that Arum pays him for each fight now, he has no choice but to take what Mayweather is offering him.

MANILA, Philippines ***8211; For the first time, boxing coach Freddie Roach has agreed with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny Pacquiao's boxing trainer said he is in favor of having Pacquiao fight Mayweather on May 2, which falls "Cinco De Mayo" weekend in the United States. ***8220;I am. It needs to happen for both guys,***8221; Roach said in an interview with Michelle Beadle on HBO***8217;s The Fight Game. ***8220;I think we waited long enough.***8221; After eluding Pacquiao for years, Mayweather has finally come out and challenged the Filipino superstar for a super fight on May 2. The problem is, May 2 or the Cinco De Mayo weekend is already reserved for Saul ***8220;Canelo***8221; Alvarez versus Miguel Cotto, said top Rank***8217;s Bob Arum. ***8220;Cinco De Mayo***8221; commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla. Arum believes that for the American to fight on Cinco de Mayo is disrespectful to Mexican fighters and their fans. "May 2***8230; is a Mexican holiday. It is a big Mexican-American holiday," Arum told Gareth Davies of the UK Telegraph. "It's a fight date being talked about for Mayweather, Pacquiao, even (Miguel) Cotto, but they're not Mexicans or even Mexican-Americans." But Roach wants to get the fight done, hence, he favors the May 2 date for Pacquiao-Mayweather. ***8220;I can***8217;t wait to get ready for Floyd,***8221; he said. Roach said the slick fighting Mayweather will be a tough match for Pacquiao, which is why they need to prepare well for the super fight. ***8220;He is a challenge. I have a great fighter but we have to fight the perfect fight to win this fight,***8221; said the boxing hall of famer. ***8220;We'll do certain things, be a little meaner and be a little more feisty.***8221; http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/12/26/14/roach-wants-may-2-fight-between-floyd-pacquiao Has anyone on this site ever noticed that nothing Freddie Roach or Pacquiao's advisor, Michael Koncz, say matters in any way in terms of who Pacquaio fights and when? Its almost as if the promoter controls everything and doesn't give a damn what Pac's trainer or advisor think? Oh, wait!...:pat:

Floyd is too much of a coward. he will never fight Manny! pacquiao use to be a coward and scared to fight floyd. now he's begging because Arum stole the money

And Manny himself and Roach said May is fine...ARUM IS THE ONLY ONE SPOUTING THIS NONSENSE first of all bob arum could care less about the may 2nd date from fat dan: And also, let's get one thing perfectly clear -- it is not Top Rank and Bob Arum looking to go on May 2 to screw Floyd. They don't care about the May 2 date. That date is the date Golden Boy and Canelo want for his next fight. It's not Arum. whos holding up the negotiations: As far as I know it's been one-way traffic on Manny's side trying to make it. As I understand it, Les Moonves is in contact with the Mayweather camp and not getting anywhere. http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/51483/boxing-with-dan-rafael do your homework...... your first inclination was right, hes afraid.....

Arum shouldn't make May 2 a big deal anymore. Like what we know already, Oscar doesn't mind moving Canelo's fight to a date other than May 2 as long as the Pac-Floyd fight will happen.

So, you tell me is the $40 million flat fee is a fair offer? According to Stephen Espinoza the actual deal was $40 million with 35% of the PPV revenue, which is more than fair.

stop it So you did not read at all and have not been keeping up i see wtf?? are you even in 2014? what happened to Manny fighting for charity? So, you tell me is the $40 million flat fee is a fair offer?

If Mayweather-Pacquiao gets signed DLH has no choice but to move Canelo-Cotto and already said he would. = No roadblock here. Pacquiao's side saying it's disrespectful and not wanting to fight on the date. = Roadblock. And Manny himself and Roach said May is fine...ARUM IS THE ONLY ONE SPOUTING THIS NONSENSE

It's only a roadblock because Oscar wants the date for Canelo Cotto. It doesn't have to be May 2 but Mayweather and his crafty team found another roadblock. Floyd fights on May and Sept every year..is the highest selling boxer..and somehow this is a roadblock??? Oscar himself said he would move Cotto-Canelo for that fight..
