Roach: "Floyd Needs Pacquiao, We Don't Need Him"

[WESS]

60-40

Winner takes 60....

Mayweather puts asses in the seats but those asses came there to cheer Pac or ANY fighter in the opposite corner of Mayweather. They pay to see him lose or wish to see him lose.

At the end of the day Mayweather and Pac will use each other, Pac being the good etc etc etc etc etc guy, and Mayweather being the GREAT villain that he is. It would break records and they have nobody but themselves to thank.

IMO do a Jones jr on a Jones jr vs Hopkins rematch. 60-40. Roach is smart, deep down he knows whats up. Pacs great but not Mayweather Great.

Roach is right. Mr boat buyer needs Pac more than vice versa, but he don't necessarily need him at all. If Cotto wins in Nov, Pac fight is irrelevant.

I'm not sure why people are looking past Cotto even if many think he is damaged goods mentally. I wonder about those body shots from Cotto and how they will effect Pac if Cotto is able to land those shots with full force...especially the left-hook to the body on Pac's right side. Cotto might also be able to trouble him with the use of the jab and straight-right...

OK, not Pac and before the Margarito fight, but how many remember this fight:

Williams was basically forced out; not his fault. There was a sign put up in the WW division that read: "Freaks of Natures not allowed...that's you Paul Williams...yes, you reading this...yes...you...what did I say..YOU...Paul Freak of Nature Williams....move right along...your kind is not allowed in here no mo"

Umm P Will turned Clottey down. The tag of feared is no more

Ya I totally agree!!!! Mayweather doesnt need Pacquiao!!!!! He can fight Calderon, Juan Diaz!!!!!!

It hurts me but you are right, from hatton to marquez he's oponnent becomes smaller and smaller while pacquiao oponnent becomes bigger and bigger.

mayweather-marquez did a million buys. how much did pac-marquez do?

Says who? From the one and only source of ppv buys Kevin Iole???

[thebowtod]

a while ago Floyd was supposed to be the EASIEST fight for Pac........now he doesn't need him after he saw what he has after the layoff ......won't Arum and Roach just come out and say what MOST people know already......Pac would get beaten and beaten up by Floyd!!.....its doesnt take a rocket scientist to see this.......all it takes is an unbias look!!!

Roach has been saying this before and after the fight..

And why should I be impressed with floyd? I know he fought a wonderful fight, but he faced a lightweight and giving his opponent no advantage with the weight wat so ever. And marquez look slower Than he ever did in his career. This fight was hand picked for floyd mayweather.

Translation: "we floyd stans are scared of mosley so we want floyd to pick on some more smaller boxers".


floyd stans are pathetic.

co-sign!!!!

Co-sign. Both fighters have a chance to be a part of something greater than themselves. If they use not wanting to make about 15-20 million each as an excuse for it not to happen, and instead fight other fights for about 10 million, then neither fighter really deserves the type of praise and recognition that would come with winning such a fight as this. F*uck who's ducking who, I dont believe either fighter is ducking the other. If this fight doesn't get made because of ego and money, then both fighters are ducking the moment and greatness.

If Mayweather decides to wait for Pacquiao and Pacquiao knocks out my boy, the total purse will probably be around $75-$80 million. How would either fighter turn down 50/50 at that point? If you're that greedy, you don't deserve the fight anyway.

Two great posts here!
