Freddie Roach: "Pacquiao has to SKIP MEALS to make 140 lbs"

In 24/7 against Cotto didnt Ariza say he had to keep Manny eating even when he was too full to eat?

He did. Roach only said this so they won't be bother by Marquez and his constant call outs. This is short for "Fight us at 147 (or above) or there is no fight at all.

Dude, you're not getting it. I'll try and say this one more time.

Pacquiao isn't eating 7,000 to gain weight, he's eating to maintain his weight. He walks around at about 150 to begin with.

Any athlete who trains 4 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week, is burning a ton of calories. If he didn't eat 7,000 calories a day, he would start to lose weight.

He's not the only athlete like this. You hear about football players who put down 2 porterhouses after a game, or how Kobe eats McDonalds after workouts. These guys don't have to watch their calories because of how much they train.

Which is why Roach said "if he wanted to make 140, he'd have to start skipping meals". He could make 140, and even 135. He'd just have to maintain his current workout regimen and start cutting down to maybe 4,000 calories a day.

I wouldn't bother if i were u lol

Their hate for Pac is so strong, they cannot rationalize, oh bless them.

Doesn't he have to eat 7000 calories just to stay at 147? Now all of a sudden he has to skip meals to make 140? Man.........................I ain't even gonna get into this ****.

so common sense escapes you that easily?

YES he has to "skip meals", in relation to his nutrition regimen as a WW fighter.

If Pac "cut meals", he could still make 135. But he doesn't fight down there. If he ate 5000 calories instead of 8000, he'd make 140 easily. (he only weighed in @ 145 3/4 vs. Clottey).

he eats 8000kcal in training for a WW fight because otherwise he'd lose muscle.

Get it straight, Pac ain't rehydrating to 160lbs like other WW's. He's lucky to get back to 150.

lets be honest why cant JMM fight Pac at 144, he fought at that weight before yah?

144 would be great for them both.

[Dick Buffman]

The point of all this is that Manny Pacquiao is a Real Man™.

The other guy is a fraud that cheats boxing fans at every opportunity and should be boycotted from the sport forever.

i have a feeling this thread has been hehe

[Irish Hitman]

Why does Team Pacquaio always have to be the boss in negotiations? Marquez has been more impressive in 2010 than Pacquiao. Roach's fighters always have the first say in negotiations cause of Freddies Rep

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

SMH..

Do you ever talk about anyone but Floyd?

This is a Pac thread.

You've always talked rather a lot about Floyd, C'MONMANG'.




Moreso than any other fighter, now I think of it.





Ahhh, those classic 'Spaddy > Floyd' threads. LMAO.

This just means Pac can make 140 but he wouldnt be healthy..
