Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Fight Will Happen

[mushahadeen]

This is bull****. I like Freddie but Freddie says the exact opposite **** from one day to the next.

[AllEyesOpen]

fighting is 75% mental and 25%......you know the rest.

Okay by your logic, DLH should have beaten Mayweather & Pacquiao because he was in control of the negotiation and had them both mentally weakened

[The Big Dunn]

My gut feeling is Bob can't get Pac what he thought he could moneywise. I'm sure floyd's camp is negotiating much differently than last time when manny had much more leverage. I'm thinking Bob and Roach are just trying to make it look like floyd caused the fight to breakdown. Petty BS from Bob.

Floyd will find an excuse

No one believes that mess he spewed!

This is great fuckin news but, its Freddy talking here, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

If Manny indeed steps up to the plate then the fight is getting signed.

[MODUS]

Conjecture, nothing but conjecture, and there is nothing to get excited about until manny is flailing around like stray cat while mayweather is running like he stole something!

Roach's statements seem pretty irresponsible. He is weakening his own side's bargaining position and possibly decreasing the chance that the fight will happen.

Roach: Manny will give in to all of Floyd's demands.

Mayweather: Roach said that Manny will give in to all of my demands. That means I don't have to compromise at all!

[Mr. Philadel]

According to trainer Freddie Roach, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is ready to agree to all of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s demands to make a super fight on November 13. Because Pacquiao will agree to Mayweather's demands, including the request for random Olympic style drug testing, Roach is confident the fight with Mayweather will happen. He says Pacquiao will leave the ball in Mayweather court to make the fight come off. [Click Here To Read More]

"He fought a fighter, in Shane Mosley, that was supposed to be the most dangerous fight of his career, and Mayweather showed us that he’s the best," De La Hoya said. "Mayweather is on a different level. He’s on a different level because he’s a student of the game. He will dissect you outside the ring and finish you off inside the ring. He knows how to get in your head. He knows how to beat you mentally, then he will beat you physically."
-Oscar De La Hoyda


That’s when Mosley jumped into the ring last September to challenge Mayweather, who had just demolished Juan Manuel Marquez in his comeback bout from a 19-month layoff. After Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao couldn’t make a deal, Mayweather accepted a deal to fight Mosley, already confident he had a mental edge.

“Shane is out of character in this whole thing,” Mayweather said. “He doesn’t talk trash. That’s not like him to call out somebody. I think Bernard Hopkins (Mosley’s business partner) put a battery in his back and pumped him up to say those things.”

-Floyd Jr.

"The fight game, people don't understand, is mental," he said. "You can be strong and fast, but it's really a mental game. I think that people will just not realize that. Yeah, you can get knocked out with a hard punch, but it's really a mental game. I think, mentally, at that point of my career, you can see I wasn't on top of my game."

-Shane Mosley
