Is Floyd right to postpone the Pacquiao fight, if Roger isnt in his corner for it?

PAC to be trained by Buboy

PBF to be trained by Ellerbee



lets just get this mutha****in fight done already

I'm with you, Mak. Getting sick of hearing all this ****. Time to just make the **** happen.

I'm not saying I like it. But if it were reversed, no one would be calling for Pacquiao to fight without Roach.

And don't act like Mayweather's team is the only one that has changed it's stance on things throughout negotiations.

If the situation was flipped, i would blame pacquiao. Floyd is the one that has been making this negotiation so impossible. Pac is the one that is more willing to compromise and Floyd has to do the same. They have to meet in the middle for a fight and with fighters of this magnitude, and floyd has noit been willing to budge, and that is the reason this fight has not been signed.

Both have had there isssues through negotiations, but Floyd is the one not willing to compromise. Thats what makes me question how much he really wants this fight. Floyd is also the one with the history of making negotiations impossible and not making some of the fights the public wants not pacquiao, so don't act like this isn't true.

My issue as i have already said is Floyd went into negotiations for this second fight, knowing there was a possibility of not having Roger you have to acknowlrdge that, and instead of saying this from the beginning how much time has been wasted. A couple months at least, once again you have to acknowledge that. it's not hate, these are facts.

I think he should postpone it. I want Manny to beat Floyd without any excuses.

The trial is at August? A good defense lawyer can stretch the trial.
And even if he is found guilty, the sentencing can be also delayed.

I think Roger will make it by November for the fight. Training schedules would be another story though, I can see the court dates interferring with training unless they work around it.

We only see a tiny fraction of what goes on in the Mayweather camp. Roger obviously does more than just hold the pads, plus Boxing is a mental game and if you don't have your normal team with you or a normal routine you like then it can throw you off.

Roger clearly has big influence on Floyd Jr and the reason he doesn't say much between rounds is because he doesn't need to cos Floyd is winning them rounds. They discuss it before and if its goin to plan Roger just tells him keep doin it, but when things aren't goin fully right Roger talks and you would know that if you've watched Floyd fight a lot.

True, but Mayweather himself said that he performs better under pressure, thus not having Roger around shouldn't be much of a problem

History of making negotiations impossible? You're suggesting Pacquiao is easy to negotiate with?

Also, Mayweather knew about Rogers issue. Well, Pacquiao knew the 14 day offer had been pulled. You see where I'm going with this?

lol..........

[Boxingholic]

fact: Flyod never want to face Pac, the smokescreen are starting to clear and the fraud one is getting exposed!!

[DR.ORGYY]

No floyd sr basically is the samething and floyd already knows how to fight....but he loses regardless to pacquiao anyway...

[007geyweather]

I meant if he were to not have Roger at this point in his career for one fight is overrated.

Well it all depends, If Roger is going to spend alot of time inside then he should move on but if he has to stay for a couple of months then he has all the rights to move the fight this may. But during those time he can't fight anybody because if he backout of pacquiao then fights someone else then he is truly DUCKING PACMAN...
