Roach Says Mayweather-Marquez Will Bomb on PPV

[don miguel]

I think other than Manny Pacquiao, Devon Alexander is the best at 140 myself. I would give Hatton a slight chance against Bradley because Bradley doesn't punch that hard. But even then, I think Bradley would beat Hatton.

But Bradley never fought Hatton. Until he fight and defeat Hatton, Hatton should be considered the best

Pacquiao will fight mayweather, anytime, anywhere.

imagine if those words actually came from his camp


would be exciting wouldn't it.

I myself is interested to see this fight. It maybe boring but i would still like to see if mayweather's claim for p4p king is justified or jmm may pull an upset to set a pac-jmm III. But i'm afraid roach is right as well.

JMM and Pac fought at 130. If Floyd wants to fight the JMM that Pac fought, then he should fight JMM at least at 135. JMM KO'ed Casamayor and Diaz at 135 but he definitely struggled with their size. JMM is not at his best at 135, more so at WW. Floyd knows that. His uncle and father said that JMM is too small.

JMM never had Mexico behind him. Never near Barrera and Morales. JMM had all the reason to fight Floyd. The only reason Floyd chose JMM bcoz he presumes JMM don't pose a threat.

I don't believe that. JMM chose Floyd not the other way around.
JMM may have struggled with Casamayor and Diaz but the fact
of the matter is that JMM KO'd both bigger guys that have NEVER
been KO'd prior to that. To say that he wasn't at his best at 135
when he KO'd them guys is delusional considering that would be
the best you can do in a boxing match right? That fact that he over
came a size advantage to have two memorable KO's on his resume
says more to me then him just being too small for Floyd. Many fighters
have over came size differences. I think the biggest gripe about this
fight is that Floyd is that good of a fighter that this seems like a
mismatch.

It might bomb on PPV but I bet both he and Pacquiao order the PPV. if not show up in person.

I think that the victories over De La Hoya and Diaz are very overrated for Pacquiao, but after the way that Paulie performed against Diaz made my opinion of Pacquiao's victory over Hatton come up just a tad. It is still a victory that doesn't mean much because of how suspect Hatton had looked until then and how horrible Hatton looks right now outside of the ring. But after Juan Diaz's fight with Paulie that made me think that if Hatton was in decent fighting condition he could probably beat Juan Diaz.

Where I'm getting at is that Pacquiao's victory over Hatton looks better than JMM's victory over Juan Diaz now. I think Joel Casamayor would beat Hatton though, because he is a slick southpaw similar to Collazo with more skill and power. He's kind of shot as well however, so that fight is close to a toss up. But if Hatton and Casamayor fought now, I would favor Casamayor. I also think Casamayor would've beaten Juan Diaz too believe it or not. He could also still probably beat Juan Diaz right now.

Juan Diaz was kicking ass before he lost to Nate Campbell.
Remember that Juan was moving up to fight the slicker Pauli
but at 135 Juan was one of the top dogs.

Roach needs to keep ****** comments like this to himself and worry about getting his movie star to training.

Exactly he needs to shut his shaky hating ass up and get his lil diva to train! he says Marquez and Mayweather cant keep Pac out of their mouth it seems like he has to mention how boring and how non interesting this fight is, then shut the **** up and stop talking about it! he knows both Mayweather and Marquez will school his boy. Freddie is not even in the same class as Nacho! Nacho has trained 3 of the best technicians anybody will ever see Ricardo Lopez, Rafael and Juan Manuel Marquez, and one of the best warrios in Humberto Gonzalez! what the **** has Roach done? Pacman thats it!

[MOREBASS]

I don't think the PPV sales or the gate revenue will be what people expect.


And WOW @ people talking about Roach's disease. I hope your grandma gets hit by a bus.

[azumi]

just wondering....why did boxing go to PPV? were they not making money from commercials? i could understand small fights not making it to free tv ...there has to be just as many people watching a super fight like mayweather and pacquiao as the world series nba finals kentucky derby indy etc.. i'm sure no one minds commercials like the ones they have in superbowl.
