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

[bellagio510ak]

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.

great post..it all boils down to politics and money..sad but true..i too hope neither ego or money prevent this fight from happening..the event would be a historical moment in boxing..assuming pac can get past cotto..

Dude you can't possibly be serious. Look at the PPV buys for Mayweather vs their 3 like opponents. The numbers have yet to be officially released for Myaweather Marquez, but it's estimated to be around 800k. Pac vs Marquez only did 400k. So why did the mexican fans decide to come see Floyd vs Marquez and not Pac vs Marquez. And for you to say something as idiotic as if mr. i won't fight you at your wieght would be a greater fighter than Ali if he beats Cotto, then you know nothing about boxing. and you need to delete your damn account.

floyd gotta agree to 50/50 or else he'll have to fight mosley!

[sfurm50]

He may be Gayweather or a thug,or whatever, but he is an awesome, awesome,fighter, and I can't stand him.he can match any1 with speed and he can match any1 with power, and if he ever decides to be more aggressive he will send alot of folks to the morgue. Unfortunately noones gonna beat him in my lifetime,he'll whoop pacman too, it mite be a good fite though,cong**** Floyd I hope you lose just once,PLEASE!

Say what you want about Marquez, but Mayweather would never move up by two weight divisions to take on a undefeated P4P contender. He wont even take on the top ten guys in his weight class.

He's already moved up 5 divisions numb nuts!! u want him to go another 5?

[mikelovesfood]

Pacman is ducking another AA fighter. Surprise, Surprise

PBF/Mosley will outsell PAC/COTTO

Pac will fight SSM before PBF ever will. fact.

[Pretty Boy Greg]

Are you really buying into this SSM crap? If he really wanted to fight FMJ why offer him 8mil take it or leave it? Floyd fought for that against Baldomir.

correction it was 10 million for baldy

[FLY TY]

correction it was 10 million for baldy

exactly.....so the haters can throw away the margarito "ducking" argument against floyd too....

arum offered floyd 8 million for that fight.....he fought baldy instead, for 10 million....i been posted this..

[FeFist]

Why if Roach speaking as though he is the promoter? Last I checked his job was to train Pacquiao not negotiate his contracts. Fool needs to STFU. Either 50:50 or 40:40 winner gets the remainder.

[Pretty Boy Greg]

it would be very premature to talk about pbf-pac fight. pacquiao has a difficult assignmnent to do in cotto. but if you guys think mayweather has the draw, you don't know what you're talking.

between pacquiao and mayweather, pacquiao has the draw. those who say otherwise are fooling themselves. look at pac-hatton and pbf-marquez. you don't have to be an expert in the box office to know the thing. pacquiao is the hottest commodity in boxing today and i agree with roach in that. ask the mexicans, or the americans, and they will tell you it's pac.

if pac wins over cotto, he will retire as the greatest fighter of all time, surpassing my idol muhammad ali. if pac wins, he need not fight mayweather, but mayweather will. the burden is for pbf to prove otherwise.

it would be moronic for floyd and his handlers to demand 50-50 split.

you're telling me that ******* will be better ATG than Sugar Ray, Joe Louis, Ali, Leonard for beating Cotto! GTFOH. If he beats cotto and pbf then you have a chance at saying that, until than go eat a big one *******!

if the fight were to happen it should be atleast 60/40 in favor of pacman. mayweather can not sell tickets everyone knows that. if you not pac could fight mosley and make twice as much then if mayweather was to fight mosley.
