Roach Contradicting Himself...

[Ravishing]

I think its bull**** to make Cotto weigh 145 Pounds...

Yet in your next fight you move up to 154.......

WTF??

Do you really think Pac vs Foreman is going to happen though? Realistically...ask yourself that.

Think about how negotiations are in Boxing and how promoters, agents, trainers, fighters, etc go about trying to make the purse splits a bit more negotiable.

As I stated prior, look how many people made an uproar about when Hatton and Pacquiao was "almost" not going to happen. Who even makes mention of that today? Most people forgot...as they will when the bell rings for Pac vs Mayweather.

You're probably right. As crazy as it sounds, might even be a set up for a Pac-Foreman and May-Hatton event with the winners fighting each other.

Can't rule that out.

Considering the general public is well aware of both Pacquiao and Mayweather heading into a Super fight next year, from a business point of view, it would be completely ****** to have them both fight one more fight, then each other. Imagine if one guy loses, imagine the money they'll be losing.

This is all negotiation hype. Ask 100 people on the street who either Matthew Hatton or Yuri Foreman are and you'll more than likely get this:

This is Boxing's best shot in years to reach back into the mainstream. I don't see them balking on this one.

That would be stretching it a bit to say nobody sticks by their word.

I wouldn't doubt the smoke screens, but Freddie's current statements are being scrutinized when put up against his previous statements.

I used to think Roach was a guy who was ruled by common decency and honor but he seems to move more and more in the direction of money talk anymore.

[Maidana vs Rios]

Wait a minute!!!

Didn't Roach, after the Pacquiao Cotto fight, state that Manny
would NOT go up higher in weight?

That Manny was struggling to make the lower weights and that welter weight was his best weight?

I couldn't find the post fight interview, but I know that's what he stated.

I'm pretty sure it was Manny that said he wouldn't go up in weight, not Roach.



Regardless, if Pac goes up to fight that bum Yuri...
