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

[Pullcounter]

WRONG, Freddie.
Floyd showed he is the bigger draw and an elite fighter.
They should fight each other, simple as that.

floyd didn't sell out the gate.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

floyd didn't sell out the gate.

He done more PPV buys with JMM, Oscar and Hatton. Hes the draw with Manny.

Freddie shet the f&^% up already! U know damn well manny needs floyd

If you dont want him in there with floyd than just say so. The truth is i dont care to see floyd vs manny because the unbias truth is that floyd is far more superior and bigger. Also i really dont think pac gets passed cotto. I know roach and arum and pac are praying something would happened to cancel the fight. Too late for that. If pac loses to cotto interms of negociating pac is all done. Lets face it now that floyd is back and won so impressively pac doesnt seem that interesting or great.

i knew they would run from this fight!

translation: we cant win that fight so we wanna get paid to get humiliated!

freedie roach talks to much

freddie roach needs to shut up, after what floyd did to marques. its the other way around. manny need to beat floyd to be the real pfp king. manny is smaller so what do you think is going to happen when they meet?

No it wouldn't take long for you backwoods people to start name calling. You are not looking at it from a fan point of view; more like a promoter.

This is what I've reduced you to? You see Statesville NC and think its the backwoods. You don't realize its a city about a half hour from Charlotte. You also don't realize Im not from here, but Providence RI. Its typical of your type to make assumptions like this without having all the facts though, so I'll let it go with this post alone instead of getting into a flame war.

If Floyd and Pac were to fight tomorrow would you watch it? Would the avg fan watch it? Would it be huge? All three questions would be yes. It would not make the fight bigger than what it already would be if Floyd fought Mosley. Do we want to see Floyd fight Mosley? Yes we do. Whether you're a Floyd fan or Floyd hater, you want to see that fight. But the avg fan wants to see Floyd vs Pac. Hell the avg fan still thinks Pac actually has a chance against Floyd. Fact of the matter is that these are the two biggest names in boxing right now, and I'm not sure if this fight can get much bigger than what it is right now, unless Floyd sr. and jr. have another falling out, and sr. goes to pacquiao's training camp so we would have that extra little twist.

So you're saying that if both Pac and Floyd beat the consensus two best welterweights it wouldn't add to the fight and make it bigger? Wouldn't give it another legit angle for 24/7, the press and all the internet forums to concentrate on for the build up to the fight? That is utterly ridiculous. If Shane is still out there as champ when Floyd and Pac fight, he has a claim to being the best fighter in the division. If Pac beats Cotto and Floyd beat Shane, the winner of their fight is the clear cut number one. Its nearly impossible for that not to make it a bigger fight.

Floyd doesn't need Pac. There is a lot of people that don't like Floyd(like myself), who will pay to see if someone can beat him. I would like to see Floyd vs Pac maybe at 60 40, 60 to the winner. But I think Floyd wins an easy UD, and I don't think Pac wins against Cotto. The best fight right now is Floyd vs Sugar.

Roach knows Mayweather is the real deal!!
