Freddie Roach: Now he has excuses to

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

"I just don't know about the time period," said Roach, who will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on June 9. There are a lot of negotiations here. Purse size, glove size, ring size.
"I don't know if there is enough time to promote it correctly."
Roach, whose HBO series premieres on Jan. 20, is also not sure Pacquiao could be ready to fight by May 5th. "It's rushing a little bit," the five-time Trainer of the Year said.
Roach has no doubts that Pacquiao would beat Mayweather, but says, "I am very confident we're going to have to fight a great fight. I know that."
He says people who believe Pacquiao is slipping because of his close decision victory against Marquez in November, are not looking at the big picture.
"A lot of people are looking at the last fight," Roach said. "But that's the only bad fight he's had in 10 years."

I think Freddie Roach has pretty much exposed why they don't want to fight Mayweather:

http://www.wpix.com/news/wpix-freddi...,4199020.story

"However, Roach doesn't believe the two will meet this spring, "I definitely think it will be the second fight for both of them this year. I think they will both have one more fight, a tune-up fight. I think it will definitely happen."

- by "they" need a tune up fight, he obviously means Pacquiao, because Mayweather obviously doesn't feel as though he needs a tune up fight since he's been calling Pacquiao out for the last 2 months. Its sad.

[Barry Halls]

you don't need a tune-up if you fought in november.

won't have time to get ready? It's almost 4 months til' may fifth. How would it be possible to not be ready?

Oh i get it. The cut excuse again.

And the excuses are still coming from the Pacquiao camp.
What is this? excuse # 175
