Freddie Roach: We Took Clottey Because We're Still After Mayweather

[Carpe Diem]

But why should Floyd agree to fight in Dalla's or agree to a 50/50 split?
Lets be realistic here, Mayweather-Mosley is gonna sell a lot more then Pac-Clottey, this is gonna totally destroy any 50/50 agreement they had already come too,
Floyd has stated this also......
And he is right, If Pac-Clottey sold a lot more then May-Mosley,
You could understand Manny looking for the bigger half,
But if Mayweather looks for it people call him greedy or he is "ducking,"
Fact of the matter is,
Floyd agreed to fight at 147 (Pac asked for)
Agreed on 8 oz gloves (Pac asked for)
Agreed 50/50, when he clearly has a better PPV history (Pac asked for)
Agreed to a 10M penalty per pound for the weight in (Pac asked for) (Never even heard of before in the sport)
Floyd asked for tablespoon of blood taking a week before the fight (Has happened many a time) Pac declined......
They ask for a week, Floyd offers two, They still decline.......
Who is at fault and who is bending over backwards here?

Don't waste your time, these guys are too biased to understand.

That is fine and I get what you are saying but if they want Pac to agree to the random blood test then Floyd has to agree with that. If he doesn't then the fight is not happening ever.

If you think that is wrong tehn so be it. If you think Pac is ducking cuz of that then so be it. But, I am letting you know what I think is going to have to happen for the fight to get done. I personally think the fight fail apart cuz they didn't have time to promote the fight and the fight not happening in Dallas. Just my opinion though.

I just want you to think about this. When Floyd demanded OST Pac team agreed. But, when Schafer refused to go to Dallas to have a meeting with Jerry Jones. Then that is when the fight was falling apart...

You right but I will but I want to point out that Holyfield never took blood. It was a urine steroid testing which they didn't have before. It had no blood testing.

And, Golden boy did have a problem with Shane taking blood testing when Zab Judah ask for it...

I think the fight is going to happen. I think Roach wanted more time to prepare for Floyd. And, I think if Floyd accepts to fight in Dallas with a 50-50 split then you will see Roach and Arum accept Floyd blood testing demand.

Dallas is out of the question. If they asked for the fight in Texas they basically ducked the fight. GBP and Mayweather didnt even bother to look at that stadium.

You a good point about Dallas,
And I don't think Pacquiao is ducking Floyd,
I think Bob Arum and Freddie Roach are.
I don't think Neither of them Guys went Manny anywhere near Mayweather

The jokester at it again. Anyone with half a brain can tell all he's doing is trying to sway BACK the media and fans that he's actually wanting the fight and that it's Mayweather who doesn't want the fight.

This new line of not backing down to Mayweathers demands is a joke. It's a blood test for crying out loud.

They know that Floyd is too smart (in the ring) for Manny Pacquiao. Brawn VS Brain. lol

Exactly........


I mean Roach just said like 2 days ago that he FINALLY finished his plan to beat Floyd. Like really? Well no wonder they didnt want to fight Floyd March 13th.

The commision doesn't ask fighters to come in at 145 but thats ok for team Pac.

the commision doesn't typically see a guy fighting at 130, than a couple years later fighting a top 3 WW, 145 ain't that much to ask for considering the natural weight difference between him and cotto and the fact that he was giving cotto his biggest payday.

They took Clottey because they were looking for an easy fight. Bradley, Alexander, Paul Williams or Juan Manuel Marquez would have all agreed to fight him at at catchweight or at 147. Yet he chose a guy who lost his last fight to a guy that Pac KOd in his last fight. What that tells me is if you are not on a losing streak, you won't be fighting Pacquaio.
