Comments Thread For: Roach: We've Chased Floyd Mayweather For Two Years

[White_Knight]

Manny, think of your countrymen slaving away in the rice paddies of Manila. All they ask is that they can gather around the village television every once in a while and watch you fight a worthy opponent. You are denying them this simple pleasure.

For shame, Manny. For shame.

How about Floyd? Why would Manny bend every time Floyd demand something? Is he the boxing commission? They should meet and discuss not Twitting.

[John Barron]

Major flaw. He IS. He generates more money than Manny does. Period. That's all business is about.

Me, I don't care as long as the fight happens. You, you're one of the fans that makes the fight harder- you're rooting for your favorite at the negotiating table. How much lamer does it get?

paklas even went as far as saying that mayweather cannot dictate anything because he isn't the draw.

these people are one dimensional and simply delusional, they've come up with more excuses over the years than arum himself. to them:

mayweather is a coward for demanding a drug test that floyd himself is subjected to.
mayweather is a coward for going on vacation from a "second" negotiation with people who, for nearly 3 years, can't even agree with each other whether drug testing is still an issue or not.
mayweather is a coward for not wanting to fight late may or early june even though it's ok for manny to fight on may 5th as long as it's marquez.

Roach has a point.. Its not Pac's fault that he went for a 1 year vacation.. And got himself incarcerated in the process...

Its Pacs fault they walked out of a negotiation and spared Clottey , its Pacs fault he is running like a b!tch now , dont you think its odd that IF, I repeat IF , Manny had wanted Floyd so bad how come when he is there to be had , that Manny runs the other way with 50 excuses ,,, only fools dont see the duck .

I can see that Its also Manny's fault why Floyd is going to Jail.

Its Manny's fault why Floyd denied he is fighting pac next.

Its Manny's fault why Floyd fought JMM after retirement

Its Manny's fault why Floyd did not fight Cotto and Margarito when Arum insisted

Its Manny's fault why he hit Josie Harris and his kids

Its Manny's fault why he made racist videos and all of you *****S support him like a God

I see Manny's fault

Surprised nobody has posted that one. :|

[Drunk Punch]

I'm so sick of all this bullshit.... both sides just sign up and give us the fight we deserve. Who cares about the details, May 5th ....a nice five, whole months to prepare/promote/sell this thing all round the world and the two best fighters of their generation finally give the public what they want. Make it so.

Oh bull**** this fight should have been made if Floyd didnt demand the steroid testing to begin with... Everything started from that ****....


And Floyd took a fVking vacation last year.. They could have negotiated a fight as early as after Pac fought Clottey, and Floyd fought Mosley.. But he ch!cken out as usual.. The same **** he pulled off when he "retired" in 2007 to avoid the top WW's after his money fights with Oscar and Hatton...

Now that he is being incarcerated, his trying to pressure Pac without exactly getting off his a$$ to actually negotiate a fight.

So let me get this straight..you're mad because the undisputed #1 asked for a drug test? When did it become shocking for the top guy to make demands, especially such a simple one... Mad he asked for a test..but no fault in Manny denying it..where is the logic? What you also don't mention is that Pac's team quickly picked Clottey after Floyd threw down the challenge. Floyd luckily ended up with an at the time, credible oponent in Shane due to Berto-Shane falling through. Floyd had said he was taking a year off already..guess who challenged him knowing he wasn't going to fight any time soon? Floyd is a POS but is in the right in this situation IMO. The top guy is in the position to make demands... Not the challenger to the throne. It's been like this practically forever. It's normally up to the challenger..if he wants the fight, he meets the demands. Everybody has done it on their way up, Pac needs to grow a pair and threaten Arum. Like that little saying goes, To be the man, you have to beat the man. Is refusing to meet some demands better than the potential glory you'll forever earn? Apparently not.
