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

[Pullcounter]

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

another mexican??? they don't call pac the mexicutioner for nothing. pac will easily outclass soto. if anything pac should fight soto's conqueror guzman.

OK that was pretty distasteful and uncalled for,

...glad you have the decency in you to see that and fortitude to admit it Shal.

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.

By all means I agree.
Roach better not get momentum on Pac accepting Oscar's offer.
That 70/30 offer & comment about Pac not being worth more than Floyd
is insulting. After insulting boxing fan's intelligence, he insults a nation's hero.

I was thinking that Roach's comment about Pac being able to beat DLH was just part of a marketing plot - something scripted by DLH.
But Roach ACTUALLY believes that Pac can beat DLH
or his greed is getting the best of him and he's putting Pac in danger like you said.

Tough to tell. I won't make judgements about Roach just yet,
but yea, I'm relieved the deal is broken and hope it stays that way.

No offense to Oscar, I mean the guy is one of my all time favourite boxers; but he is obviously trying to, as I call it, Pimp Manny Out... If Oscar wanted to go out with a **** and really sell this fight, why would he offer his last opponent, a man many look at as the current #1 P4P boxer around, a mere 30%...

This fight probably wouldn't draw near what PBF Vs. DLH did (but who knows), so why not give Manny his due in front of the whole world and at least negotiate with him??? No doubt it would have given more credibility to the match-up and eventually added on to the take...

It's not a good fight for Pacquiao anyways, he has really just started to make his mark outside of us hard-core boxing fans, and a loss Vs. De La Hoya really wouldn't do Manny any favours, other than the obvious big pay day... I'm surprised that Roach seems to want this fight so bad... Maybe it's money or maybe Freddy really thinks Manny can win this fight; either way I honestly believe Roach believes Manny can get through the fight without getting seriously hurt, or he wouldn't be pushing for it to happen...

Much respect to you for admitting that slip-up! Lots of idiots would try 2 justify that comment!

This is very funny.


I think Mr. Roach should let this one go now.

What a faker! you actually act like you care about a fighter? you have no heart or compassion shalafi so stop pretending like you actually have some.
You are a joke, you are the type who will enjoy to see a fighter get hurt in the ring.

Medical bills must be a ***** to pay...

You tight pants wearing piece of ****... I hope your mother gets Alzheimer's disease so when she gets put in a convalescent home some depraved orderly uses her face as jizz target on a daily basis... and because of her condition, she keeps forgetting to tell...

Karma is a *****, *****...

leave poor Roach alone...

ok, he might of lost it pushing manny but making fun of his handicap? come on! at this weight class, there a tough cookies, i would not bet on manny against Sotto or Guzman. as for DLH, he wants an easy one out. one last huge paycheck. it is his right. we would love to see him against Margarito like the oscar of old (Trinidad or Mosley) but he is now a business man. Blame Cotto for losing this Mega fight. I would not at 147 be willing to fight Margarito or at 154. would you?

[theggamme209]

As trainer of manny he gets 10% of mannys purse. That's big money for roach..
