Pacquiao Could Retire Without Mayweather, Says Roach

[bobbyb363]

I know. Then he goes on to say that Mayweather needs Pacquiao to cement his legacy. Mayweather is an ATG, no doubt about that, but to conquer the WW division he needs to beat both Mosley & Cotto. If Pacquiao beats Mayweather he accomplishes something amazing by beating the bigger guy. It doesn't work vice versa.

Totally Correct!

cotto is not like ricky the get himan hatton. cotto sticks out that powerful jab. the quick **** pac hit ricky with won't be so easy against cotto.plus cotto took clottey and margacheatos punches well. ther's no freakin way pac hits harder than those two.i don't think he can hurt cotto period.

Fab I totally agree. First Arum now Roach setting up the excuses. PBF is the biggest draw in boxing and the legitimate P4P man to beat. Manny wants no part of him and this is not a negotiation scheme this is setting up excuses to get out of a fight in the flesh but Cotto is gonna throw a monkey in their plan anyway.

So its ok for floyd to "retire" a couple of years ago when there were plenty of "top givers" to prove against.But if pac decides to he's ducking???


And that "slot" mayweather had,plenty could of had BUT the fact of "money corruption" it never happened.Fights that you and i could of anticipated on.hmmmmm...you really make a whole lot of sense here.


Especially for years now that your boy has been wanting the $$$Green who could blame pac for getting the payday of his life without getting skunked from his money????

*crickets chirping*

why won't one floyd stan answer this?????

Define "need"...

At the end of the day Mayweather offers Pacquiao his sternest test on paper, potentially the highlight of his career and one of his biggest pay days if not the biggest. You can't just say you don't need that...

They need each other and, more importantly, the boxing world and us fans need them to get it on.

Hopefully Roach is saying this with future negotiations in mind rather than dodging Money May

I think Money may "need" it more - "Money"
What options will Floyd explore other than Manny.
Who needs the money more?
Outside of Floyd needing the doe which I can care less about what he does with his funds but what is Floyd's plan B?
Manny, I believe is willing to explore more options but Floyd I don't think so much.
This is Floyd's Golden Egg I believe. He can get paid retire and walk around with the zero intact and let people tell him who he "would" have beat.
Just like the Patriots and Giants Superbowl....that's why they play the game!

Who said it's OK. Floyd was grilled for "retiring" by his haters claiming he was ducking top WW's when that was not the case. Before he announced his "retirement' he had said he was taking a long vacation. Everyone knew he would be back.

Pacquiao has never mentioned retiring after the Cotto fight. That's if he wins. Mayweather has been talking about retirement dating as far back as the De La Hoya fight.

If Pacuqiao beats Cotto and retires, it's a blatant duck of Mayweather.

No problem with that at all. Pac's done more than enough. For those watching him before he got big, we probably all thought he was as far as he could go at 130lbs. Everything he's done since has been a huge bonus and I honestly couldn't ask for anything more. If he fights Floyd, ok, but I could honestly careless about that. Beating Cotto alone would be a huge statement and enough to go out on top without a doubt in my eyes and many others. I also do not want him to be a gatekeeper. That would be so sad to see.

Freddie seems real preoccupiued with Floyd Mayweather.

I don't think Freddy ran out of the Gym searching for a reporter. I think his answer was prompted by a question from someone looking for his thoughts on a Mayweather fight.

[lcheezy]

i don't give a dam if they fight or not. but if they do the real p4p king pbf will spank that little ****y midget easily.

Mayweather has the whole welterweight division to turn to should the Pacquiao fight be delayed or not happen for whatever reason. Mosley and Cotto in particular are paydays waiting to happen

Floyd may need it ever so slightly more but Pacquiao needs it too.
