Pacquiao Could Retire Without Mayweather, Says Roach

[Kris Silver]

I support guys retiring in good time and on top, but 30 is just too young. There's too much you can still do, and with that talent I think you should carry on until at least 32. Especially if your not slipping which he isn't.

Manny suggests he's not about the money but he's very fussy with some of the deals and only started talking of retiring once he hit the big big bucks.

Fight Mayweather at 50-50 at least.

I'd be very pissed if one of them is too stubborn to just get a deal somehow, would be a huuuge shame and bad advert for boxing. Sadly though it seems very possible given those two.

It would be a disgrace to boxing fans...

If the Manny Pac vs Floyd Mayweather jr don't get this fight made if Pac is to beat Cotto in there clash then i feel it would be another slap in the faces of true boxing fans.
To many fights were never made because of the money BS who wants 60% and who wants 70%...It's all BS.This **** would of never happened in the old days,guys would just fight to try and be the best by beating the best.
It all comes down to money unfortunately and IMO in every sport these athlete's are over paid plain n simple.They have to much pull.

This seems like blatant ducking. Mayweather was #1, and Pac only got to that slot by FMJ retiring. May comes back, and many people have restored Floyd to the #1 spot.

To prove he is #1, Pacquiao would have to beat Mayweather. Wins over Diaz/Delahoya/Hatton are not ATG-ish. And Roach himself has said that Cotto is weathered.

so what? Pacquiao just killed the same fighters than gave Mayweather p4p no.1 spot.

Now he's fighting another guy that Mayweather ducked.

Pacquiaos resume crushes Mayweathers. Nobody looks at Mayweathers resume and says "wow, that guy fought everybody". Mayweather has skill but we haven't seen it against something quality.

the same for floyd.... if he wants that #1 spot he should face pacman. And what happened to boxingscene? first you say floyd is ducking pac cuz he fought marquez, which you guys PREDICTED that he would crush marquez. But after he Crushed marquez like u guys predicted, pacman is ducking floyd? WTF?

['Sugar' Freddi]

If Pacquiao can get through both, Cotto and Mayweather, there is no one else to beat. I mean he would already be a top ATG, which I believe he already is.

IF pacman beats cotto, no way in hell he retires w/o fighting floyd.....i'm not putting much stock into what roach is saying, as he is clearly using a negotiating ploy early here.....

pacman beats cotto, he fights floyd.....there's no way you just "walk away" from the biggest fight in boxing history.

This was nothing but negotation talk by Roach. Its nothing different than what Floyd says. Both are just trying to act like they dont need eachother because they want the upper hand on the money. Floyd actually means it though and thats why the Oscar rematch didnt happened. We'll see if Pac means it

[02bash]

Roach knows that what mayweather did to marquez was master class, and he knows that he will do the same to pacman. this fight needs to happen, i know pacman is a very likeable fighter but he will be ducking flyod if he retires without challenging him.

.

I will respectfully request that you learn the facts before you make these comments. Mayweather had the p4p crown prior to the DLH fight. Well before.

Thank you.

Question

What DLH version was better, the one mayweather fought @ 154 or the one Paquiao fought @ 147 2 years later

What Hatton was better, the undefeated Hatton Maywayweather fought, or the Hatton Pacuqiao fought?
