Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather will Never Face Pacquiao, Khan Maybe

[Brother Jay]

Let me fortune cookie my response here as well:

The only element concerning the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight that hasn't been resolved is the testing.

Therefore, for Roach to make such a statement means that he is referring to Floyd not relenting on Pacquiao having to take random USADA tests up until the day of the fight.

That is not Floyd's unwillingness to fight. That is Pacquiao's unwillingness to get caught.

The fact that there has been so much back and forth about the tests for 3 years goes to show that those tests hold DOOM for someone's legacy and past accolades.

Could you imagine if Margarito's people had argued that Richardson's request to have Antonio's wraps further examined was absurd? And what kind of backlash would have ensued if Team Margarito called the fight off over it?!?!?

Same **** here. Let's not forget that Arum stood by Margarito throughout the whole illegal loaded gloves situation ... defending the cheater and stating that he didn't believe that Margarito cheated despite solid evidence being present. That all has to do with Arum knowing that he could still make money off Antonio against Pacquiao, and he even got Antonio unbanned to compete! Luis Resto went to prison for doing the SAME EXACT THING! Why is this situation any different????

Take the tests or admit that dope flows in your veins.

i like this new stance that some of us posters are taking. they are both to blame for this fight not happening yet! save us all the drama and just get it done! both legacies will suffer if this fight doesn't happen! and deservedly so.

Yes of course, because Arum and Pac will never agree to full random testing by USADA.

you are gullible as ****.

Freddie isn't saying anything new now that floyd's pops hasn't been saying since 2009.

'my son will never fight pacquiao'

khan was already promised a floyd fight, so focus on that. Not a bad scrap, leave the fantasy fight alone.

[Check_hooks]

Floyd has used every excuse in the book to duck Pacquiao.

He won't even face him in court under a court order.

And Khan outboxes the **** outta floyd. Khan has more power, faster handspeed/better combinations and better footwork.

Simple as this- the fans need to stop buying Pacquiao and Mayweather's PPVs until they fight each other.

If these guys keep getting over a million buys for fighting no-hopers, of course that's what they'll keep on doing.

I don't care who is at fault anymore- who offered what to whom, when, who rejected what at which point, on and on---I don't care. Both need to get in a ring and do this fight. No PPV buys from me until that day happens.

dont be so *******

promised ????? show me a link, i am waiting....

The blame seems to be see-sawing between Arum and Roach. First, Arum said he wants the fight to happen, but then says that he won't work with GBP and/or Floyd unless they apologize to Pacquiao. So either Arum is bluffing and doesn't wanna the fight until Floyd wipes Pacquiao's tears. Now, days ago Roach comes out all bravado saying that him and Pacquiao are ready for Floyd after Ortiz. But then out of the blue, all this talk about Roach wanting Khan to fight Floyd. I think TR and Roach we're hoping to catch Floyd's buff, but maybe Floyd is serious this time and the others were caught off guard.

[texasboi15]

aren't we tired of debating whether floyd is scared or if manny's afraid to take the test?! as suggested above, i wish we could boycott both fighters until this fight happens.
