Comments Thread For: Roach Concerned With Bradley's Tactics Against Pacquiao

[Mikel 45]

If pacquiao is at his best he will win, no question.

People forget who pacquiao has beat up. Two average performances and people think Tim bradley is in the same league has manny. Come on...

But if he is is not at his best, then it could be a harder night than it should be.

70/30 split? Roach you are a gd BS artist. That is not what Floyd asked for. If Floyd was asking for 70/30, and Miguel is reportedly getting paid 30 million, you are telling me that Floyd will make 70 million dollars in that fight? That is absurd. I think Floyd asked for a 60/40 or 55/45 split, which means Manny would get 30 million at the very least so go to hell with this bs. Floyd deserves more, because he has made a ton more and from a PPV perspective, is a bigger attraction. Keep selling this bs to all the boxing fans, but we know that you, Arum and Manny all *****ed out and made sure this fight didn't happen.

No Floyd asked for 70/30, came down to 60/40 then offered a flat rate of $40m

Which was probably pretty close to 70/30 regarding how much money that fight would have brought in.

And Pacquiao offered Floyd 55/45 split to the winner. But Floyd turned it down. You'd think he would be happy with taking 45%

Roach is always worried about this or that, but why isn't he ever worried about Pacquiao coming in at a weight that is not even the official weight? Boxing has just become a dam circus now it's embarrassing.

All those who think Bradley ducked Khan now, are full of **** how can you duck someone
then go signup to fight someone far way better?

For a big paycheck perhaps...

I dont know why Roach is so worried. All he has to do is tell Father Slob to put the "no fight back" clause in the contract. Same as he did with Clottey and Mosley.

Tim will Head but Pacquiao to sleep.

That was a pretty fair assessment of both fights by Roach.

I agree. This is the best game plan for Pacquiao because he cannot fight so well on the inside.

Whether people believe it or not Bradley ducked Khan, Great decision for him in the longer term but a duck is a duck and him getting the Paq fight would never change that fact, Maybe Khan should have duck Peterson too and wait for his luck regarding his scheduled Mayweather opportunity.

And floyd ducked the ghost guerro to fight cotto. Pac just ducked Floyd to fight Bradley. Pac also just ducked Marquez to fight Bradley as well.

If you have better options and bigger challenges or better financial possibilities, then its not a duck.

Tim didnt duck Khan, he just didnt want to do the fight under his last promoter because he knew the fight would be a much better promotion for him if done by top rank.

Khan gets more credit for loosing a close fight to Lamont then Bradley gets for destroying Lamont. Thats a horrible promoter. He easily beat Devon alexander and that figh should of been in Vegas. But instead it was in the back woods. Again poor promoting. He didnt want to destroy Khan for nothing, and it would of been for nothing had his last promoter been running things.

It was not a duck, he went and got paid more for fighting Cassemyor on a Pac undercard. Bob will have him making 3 mill when he fights Khan, instead of the 1mil he would of made. Especially after he beats Pac.

To me this fight comes down to what Pacquiao has left, whether or not he is ripe for the picking or not..

Pacquiao was ineffective against Mosley and Marquez but was that because he lost a step or because of the style of each guy? (Mosley backpedaling and Marquez having his number)

Bradley is an all-around solid fighter but I don't see him matching up with Pacquiao if Manny is on his A-game.. but if Pacquiao has indeed slipped, I could see Bradley pulling it off...
