ROACH: "Mayweather is a whole different ballgame. We need time"

[NYU Alum.]

What I find curious (and refreshing) is that Roach said "why risk losing a tuneup fight". That is honesty. Too much at stake to diminish your value.

But when Floyd didn't want to fight Shane in January prior to a Pac fight in May, Floyd was a bitchduckingrunnerfraud.

...gotta love online fans!

Y'all gotta take what Roach's says with a grain of salt. Freddie himself stated himself, "He likes to talk ****". No one ****** enough really thinks Floyd's style is easy to figure out.

no matter how much time they need---pac is going to get toyed with---and roach knows floyd's style is extremely hard to beat---and he needs as much as time as he can get---but it won't make a difference---floyd is going to show you doubters why he is the truth in that ring---just wait---i mean---just ****ing wait---

Floyd fight's SO DEFESIVELY that yeah, you need time to prepare for someone like that....what's wrong with that....Floyd needed time to prepare for Cotto (by letting other people beat him)

Look with out all the trashing talking and disrespectful comments to both of these great fighters, man let's grow up here. They are two great men. Why is there so much hate for such a great fighter like PBF. He is a boxer and Manny is a brawler. We tend to discount the Boxer because the brawler is exciting but the fact is the name of the sport is "Boxing" and not bloodbath trade. That is what MMA is for. My here is why does Manny need 6 months to get it on with Mayweather when he is due to fight in March? What they are saying is that Mayweather is so skilled that we need extra time if we fight him. Yet, He would be an easier fight then Cotto as per Roach. I like both guys but PBF is a true master in that ring. There is nothing wrong with stick and move boxing. No excuses about running or boxing. This is what PBF is talking about. The excuses. It's the same as telling Manny, You can't brawl and throw all those punches. A fighters style is his style. The master over comes the style of the other.

You're really gonna bring up "time off"? The guy just came off a fight with Cotto and now *****s wanna call him out for asking for more time? Didn't he ask for more time against JMM because he was "injured"? And Floyd's fight with JMM was when again? And prior to that he needed 2 years to grow and cultivate the tiny set of balls he's just now starting to show?

Pacquiao, Mayweather camps quiet on deal

By Abac Cordero (The Philippine Star) Updated November 26, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Don’t expect to hear anything from Bob Arum or Richard Schaefer in the days or weeks ahead if it’s regarding the negotiations for Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“There’s a gag order and we have to respect it. We are not allowed to talk,” said Arum over the phone yesterday after sitting down and having lunch with Schaefer in Day One of the negotiations.

Arum said he can’t give out details regarding the negotiations which of course would center on how the purse, which could reach $150 million, should be divided between the two superstars.

“I can’t. I really can’t,” said the legendary promoter from Top Rank, who said he’s not even sure how long it would take for him and Schaefer, who’s representing Mayweather in the talks, to negotiate.

“I have no idea. Thanksgiving is coming up and I won’t be back here in my office until Monday,” said Arum from his headquarters in Las Vegas. He said he’s off to a much-deserved break in Colorado.

The gag order, according to Arum, will be in effect “until our negotiations are either finalized or terminated.”

He and Schaefer met in Las Vegas over lunch Monday to see to it whether the fight that everybody wants to see could take place next year. Reports said they’re looking at May 1 as a date for the fight.

But that would depend on Pacquiao’s political schedule because the reigning pound-for-pound champion is seeking a Congressional seat in the May 10 national elections in the Philippines.

Arum had earlier penciled March 13 as the date for Pacquiao’s next fight, in fact it’s already listed at www.boxrec.com, but Freddie Roach said if it’s Mayweather, March is out of the question.

“If it’s Mayweather, we need time to get ready for that fight. We have to come out with a real different style. It’s a whole different ballgame,” he said,

And he’s not even looking at a “tuneup” match by March if that’s what you can call a possible fight with whoever’s out there – like Shane Mosley, Andre Berto or Edwin Valero.

“If we get Mayweather, why risk losing that (tuneup) fight. I’d say he rest for a while, enjoy the holidays, run for elections, and the Congressman Manny Pacquiao will kick Mayweather’s ass,” said Roach.

For the meantime, the guessing game is on as to the venue of the Pacquiao-Mayweather if ever it takes place. Arum had said that just won’t happen in New York because of its high (15 percent) tax structure.

But there’s the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, a new one that could seat more than a hundred thousand, the Super Dome in New Orleans, another one in Vancouver, Canada, and a proposed outdoor arena that can be built in Las Vegas just for the fight.

The venue, however, will only be taken up seriously once the fight is sealed. For the meantime, there’s a “gag order,” and the world will just have to wait and see.

This article is bull**** TS (aka bernie madoff, al haymon) changed and added bull**** to the article.

green k............

You get more ****** every day. Unbelievable. By giving out "green" when you're in the red actually takes one point away from the person you gave "green" to.

Floyd apologist are just impatient. How many boxing fans have been patiently waiting for Floyd to fight Cotto, Margarito and Mosley and they could not wait for few months for Pac to get his rest and political stuff together. Floyd could have fought Pac if he got the cojones after Pac KTFO Hatton but guess what he couldn't wait for few hours. Action speak louder than words.
