Roach: "If De La Hoya is Overweight, Pacquiao Fight is Off!

[Boofdatruth]

You guys are selling Pac short. He has a great chance to win by ko, AND make crazy guap.

Boof, is that Anetta Keys?

Does The Roach have the authority to make these grandiose and aggressive statements I wonder. He sounds more like a manager than a trainer.

I believe that Oscar will come in at about 146, that he's been keeping his weight under control, and, since Forbes, has not allowed it to get more than he can handle. I can't see him happily forgoing $3 mill for each lb overweight, and The Roach is talking about the weight "on the day of the fight"....I wonder??

Of course, and FAR MORE LIKELY, the $3 mil per lb. is nothing but a PR scheme, and It has been arranged previously with Arum and Manny's people so as to boost the fight.

My opinion is that Oscar had only to keep planting his very good straight left jab out there for Manny to impale himself on, to control the fight and get Manny discouraged. He could even beat him on points, like Forbes, and thereby, pave the way for another multimillion dollar fight against another top class boxing midget. If he beats Manny too easily, it will ruin the chances of this.

People seem to think that he had a tough time against Forbes, although he won every round, a clean sweep, so perhaps, with 2 boxing midgets in a row, this is Oscar's NEW career. And, don't forget, he's the #1 ranked light-middle in the world, according to boxrec.

He's desperately keen to become a billionaire, and a few successful fights like these could bring him "over the top" with little danger.....? Just a thought.

There goes your credibility... Props to your imagination though, its working overtime.

I agree with that....**** you really left me thinking......

what is that saying about like minds??? I thought that post was out there...

sounds like Roach is already trying to give reasons on why is fighter will lose... the thing is he may be messing with his own fighters head more than Delahoyas without the constant talking... this is the first fight i have seen were a fighter and a fighters trainer are having all the prefight wars, while Pacman is nowhere to be found...i think PacMan is smart enough to keep his mouth shut rather than put all his money on whether or not delahoya makes weight... almost seems like Roach is getting in the ring instead of Manny... Roach do us all a favor and stop talking so much and let the fighters go at it... i can hardly understand what Roach is saying anyway without reading it

Roach knows damn well that he wont call it off! By december everyone in the world will know about this fight. It will be to big to call off. He's trying to scare de la hoya.. telling him to "Try and work really hard to get to 147". He wants de la hoya to drain himself so he will be to weak and exhausted come fight night. Either ODLH is drained making weight (wich favors Pacquiao) or hes Over (wich favors pacquiao) 3mlli a Pnd.

That chic on your sig is HOT!

[MANGLER]

Too much dough on the line for Roach to call this off.

[Truth]

Manny should be bringing the most unhealthy food around Oscar. Showing up at his training camp with huge cheeseburgers and french fries.lol

Manny: though u guys might be hungry...**comes in with 10 pizzas, 8 cheese burgers and onion rings**

Oscar: Get the **** outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pacquiao is being a ***** now.

He is playing to win , Id do the same , Oscar is big and they want him to boil down as much as they can force him to , 147 is not going to be easy for Oscar to make .
