floyd wants more tune ups before packy...lol..he's too scared to fight in march....

Did I read this right? Pac wants the fight in March and Floyd does not want to fight in March?

No you read it wrong ,, Roach said Floyd is nothing like Pacs last 4 opponents and they need more time so Manny can see what Roach can see ,, his words !

Floyd cant make money with anybody else?
He just sold 1.05 MILLION ppv's with Juan Manuel marquez!

Here is what I read on Nov 26th. How much could have changed since Thursday?

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.

I say that we all take a deep breath. There is unnecessary venom in the whole May-Pac discussion.

Quoted for emphasis, Roach is full of ****, he's just rying to save face. This is all because Pacquiao wants to run for office.

Exactly. Originally Roach wanted the Mayweather fight around May, but now Pac is serious about elections around that time. So Roach is thinking an easier fight before the elections then training for Mayweather after that.

nope pac wants floyd asap, floyd wants pac when he's pre occupied........

Pac wants to kick Gayweather's ass as soon as March so he will have enough time to campaign for the next election in the Philippines.
