I'm in Atlanta this morning, and the big local sports station has been promoting their Freddie Roach interview for 10:30am this morning.

790 The Zone is the station with Doug and Ryan Scott, the two African American brothers (literally) who are often on First Take on ESPN2 debating with Skip Bayless. It is more popular than the ESPN station here.

Not sure who is conducting the interview (not the Scott boys), but I wanted to share the link so you guys can listen in.

Coincidentally, our firm is involved in the acquisition of a huge Filipino company, so I'm busy as hell. Meetings.

Hope you enjoy the interview. Please report back on this thread what Freddie says.

Thanks!!

For clarity, that is 10:30am Eastern US (New York City, Wash DC) time.

Please adjust accordingly for your city.

It's on now, I'm hearing Mayweather now.

**p4p-champ** · 07-20-2010, 09:44 AM

Roach:

- Says Mayweather is playing games

- Roach knows there were negotiations because he claims Manny signed the contract

- Says he doesn't think Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao

- Says Mayweather doesn't like to be pressured into anything

- Says if this fight doesn't happen it will hurt both fighters, can lose some of the fanbase

- Roach says Manny wins the fight if it happens because of pressure and power

...thats about it. Really short interview.

Freddie Roach: I'm gonna stop worrying about Mayweathet. Atleast on our half we signed the contract, Mayweather is just playing games. Mayweather doesn't run my or Pacquiao's life. Now, I think that he's actually scared to fight Manny, he passed up 40 million dollars. We tried not to put too much pressure on Mayweather, so that he wouldn't go the other way. So it's Marquez, Margarito and Cotto, obviously people don't want to see that but we're stuck with that. Arum didn't want to put pressure so that Mayweather wouldn't go the other way, cause Mayweather doesn't like to be forced. Is Mayweather holding out for more money, I don't know. I think we're gonna lose some fan base with this because these are the 2 best fighters. Roach says he doesn't think Mayweather would face Pacquiao after a long layoff, he thinks Mayweather would take a tune up and that's gonna delay it more. Mayweather is a challenge, he is a good fighter.

When asked on how Pacquiao would beat Mayweather, Roach responds saying.

Manny wins because smart pressure and power.

The only thing he said that actually caught my attention was, "Atleast on our half we signed the contract". Yes, he said that.
