Why are people complaining about Roach wanting the fight at 147?

[OpaiSoma]

Just in fairness, both Marquez and Pac are going to come inthe weight they are comfortable with, nobody is going to be at 160lbs+ , Pac will be at 148 and Marquez 144 at the fight night as usual?

So whats the issue for roach wanting at 147?


I find it intriguing because its the same people who complained about the catweight and are now wanting the catchweight?

VERY SIMPLE...

JMM is old, shot, past prime, and we already know he's too slow, lacks power, etc. when he moves up over 135. Poochiao is in his prime and Poochiao can still make 135/140. Why make a smaller guy move up to 147 when you can easily make 140 without killing yourself?

Floyd got **** for making JMM move up to 147, but it's okay for Poochiao to make JMM move up two weight classes after he's way past his prime?

Roach admitted he hates catchweight fights before.

It's okay for Poochiao to only fight in catchweight fights when the advantage in the catchweight fight is for him? It's okay for his team to weight drained his opponents, but it's not okay for his opponent to ask for a fair fight when he's already a smaller guy.

Stop trolling already if you think you cant make the weight or at disadvantage tha your not going to win dont sign the contract?

"Mayweather fought a a fat old man Marquez at welterweight"

Funny how the catchweight business is only available when its good for Manny. Roach knows what making a fighter lose weight does. He starves his opponents for a big advantage. Its ok to do it to other just not Manny.

Pacquiao is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Stop trolling? That's all you have to say after I owned you?

Maybe because he's going to get paid millions for the fight. You would rather fight on HBO for 1 million or fight on PPV for millions? JMM made his biggest payday against Floyd and that's why he decided to fight Floyd. JMM is just looking for a payday right now because he's at the very end of his career.

How can you blame a guy at then end of his career looking for a payday?

Let's see...

Fight a mandatory for 1 million, or fight Poochiao on PPV for at least 5M?

Not a hard decision especially since JMM has been chasing Pac for years.

Why even try to reason with these people?

Their fighter is going to prison so they focus all their attention on discrediting Pacquiao. Not real boxing fans.

Catchweight is a crime against humanity, unless it helps Marquez...what

[BattlingNelson]

We've already seen Marquez at 147. At that weight he's fat slow and ineffective.

If they cannot make it at 140 then dont.

[120]

IMO, Marquez is an unfair fight at any weight at this point in their career. It's not about weight, it's just that Marquez doesn't belong in the ring with Manny anymore. Manny NEEDS to challenge himself and not take easy fights anymore. He is one of my favs all time, but I was upset with him vs Margo and I would be with him vs Marquez as well

Yeah, ****ing funny. You can easily tell who is a ******* and who is a boxing fan. These fools gave Floyd **** for fighting a younger JMM at 147, but now it's okay for Poochiao to fight an older JMM at 147?

*******s answer my question... Why is it okay for Manny to fight a fat, bloated, 37 year old LW at 147, but it's not okay for Floyd to do the same thing?
