Roach Pushing For Pacquiao To Take De La Hoya's Offer

[jk4real]

On which payroll is he now??? He was the one who made it so ''personal'' *loooooooooooool* now Manny don't want too and he again tries to secure it... it's really beginning to look like WWE... your trainer (like a manager) is your best friend... but behind your back because of money he made a contract with the devil to set you up... this is WrestleMania... Pacquiao vs. DLH... will Mr. Roach have something to do with it *loooooooooooooooooooooooooool*

Now I really wouldn't wonder if Roach suddenly is back in Hopkins corner for his next fight

Freddie Roach, trainer for WBC lightweight champ Manny Pacquiao, told The Manila Bulletin that he plans to convince his fighter to reconsider the 70-30 offer presented by Oscar De La Hoya for a fight on December 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Pacquiao walked away from the fight after De La Hoya refused to budge from a 70-30 revenue split and balked at Pacquiao 60-40 counter-offer. [details]

roach knows that pac's shelf life is not going to last past 2 more years. time to cash out.

If roach beleives Manny can beat De La Hoya then i don't see the problem in him wanting the fight.

Even though i didn't want the fight to happen, I kind of do now ... Because i beleive Manny can win.

Roach believes Manny can beat DLH?
Or did he say what he said because
he believes he can profit from Manny fighting DLH?
He knows how to stir Oscar.

I guess that Parkinson's is really catching up to good ol' Roach, money grubbing mutha ***a really wanted a part of that nice payday again, shame on him for wanting his best fighter put in a comma.

...low blow...
Parkinson's is no joke amigo.
Couldn't you get your point across without making fun of someone's disorder?

Freddie roach knows soto will give pacquiao problems. Soto hits hard and has a good chin. This fight will closer than people think. I'm looking forward to it.

easiest fight for PAC out their is sotto and valero, nothing more than a tune-up for a BIG FIGHT...

OK that was pretty distasteful and uncalled for, but I was judging Roach by the same coin. Do you concede him luring his best fighter and "close friend" into a fight that can potentially end PacMan's career by fighting a much bigger yet even though past his prime but still strong DeLahoya? Roach just wants them greens and you know it amigo, he hung out with ODLH for too long and learned his dirty money tricks. I just lost respect for the Roach today.

"Fighting Soto Would Be Ridiculous" WTF!!!

This comment by Roach clearly shows us how he is driven by the MONEY factor...more money for Manny means more money for Fready! I think Humberto "La Zorrita" Soto can beat Pacquiao!

,,,he wants to get Manny killed...

Sure seems like it. You would think if he really loves Manny like a son, he wouldnt let him get in the ring with Oscar. This is the same Roach that said he wouldnt let Manny fight many guys at JWW, but would allow him to fight there once if it was Hatton. But he can fight Oscar at WW?
I pray Manny fights Soto instead, and looks towards a match with Hatton or the other top LWs. If he fights Oscar, the Pacman story is finished.

Exactly Soto has a stone chin, hits hard and fast pacman will get really hurt in that fight.

It's starting to seem like Roach is really money hungry.
