Comments Thread For: Roach Addresses Pacquiao's Retirement, Mayweather Fight

Floyd is not a spiritual man so of course if Floyd said something like that he'll get clowned on. Now if Floyd said he met a hooker at some drug house while floyd was picking up a dub for him and fiddy and the hooker told Floyd to retired now this is more believable.

Pac prays after every fight and claims his love for God yet he doesnt live a righteous life.

Mayweather says GOD don't make mistakes....yet he doesnt live a righteous life.

Both of these guys are either lying or truly believe the things they do or say are things GOD would be proud of.

Neither one of these guys are living an inspiring life worthy of being imitated.

Ok now I would be mad if I got banned for replying to this but why do idiots like you get away with saying stuff like this??? Didn't manny have *** with a hooker and have a baby? Floyd talks about god alot he is very spiritual I guess manny is perfect huh?

I pay taxes on their material items and the protective measures. The gov't gives me money for having them, so I didn't pay taxes to have them. Lets just talk boxing.

I got your point the 1st time thats why I said we'll end it here.

But in fact you do pay taxes to continue to own your children right? You still pay taxes on their "protective" measures? If you didn't have those protective measures, you wouldn't have to pay taxes correct?

I have a son who is turning 6 in April, he goes to a private school....i pay taxes on this little guy.

Like I said there is nothing you own that you didn't pay taxes on.

The Racket Squad: Religion In Boxing? Nothing New!

How many times have you heard a fighter say after a bout, 'I want to thank my Lord and Savior J.C for this victory. With him all things are possible.'
Christianity and other forces, (the ****** faith more recently) have been a large part of the personal sides of boxers lives since the game began.
If Manny says that he had a dream that concerns his higher power, then what the hell is the big deal?
The big deal seems to be the fact that Pacquiao is Filipino just as the big deal in political circles is that our President is black.
Haters hate . That is what they do.
I am not one who believes in what I view as Biblical mythology.
But I will be the last man to denounce a human for his or her faith.
One thing is for certain.
If Mayweather refuses to fight Manny after doing his 3 month stint, he will be throwing away a lottery ticket as well as the integral part of his legacy.
'Money' will have avoided the best and that is nothing that the Lord can help him with.
That will be Floyd's decision and would demonstrate a complete lack of faith in himself, regardless of his empty reasoning's.

Pacquiao Has Waited 3 Years For Mayweather; Nobody Else Made Him Wait!

Manny has fought them all. He could be tired and getting wore down, and towards the end of a legendary career, that's honorable/credible. He fought Barrera (2x), Morales (3x), Marquez (3x) all Hall of Famers, and during their prime. He also fought Dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, Margarito, Mosley, and Amir Khan several times in training camps. He's now about to fight Tim Bradley. Manny has exceeded expectations as a Champion. He's fought everyone, ducked nobody. Fought very tough competition, guys much larger than him. He doesn't need Mayweather. Floyd is the one who has hand picked his career to preserve a "0", which means nothing when you made a career out of fighting one dimensional, lead with your chin, smaller and older fights, or big names past their prime. Floyd had 10 years to fight Mosley and Cotto in their primes, and he waited until both were well past their best days. He lost to Oscar as most fans agreed, yet walked away from a $25M rematch with Dela Hoya. And has avoided risk his entire career. He's afraid to fight Manny hence why he makes ridiculous demands he knows Manny will say "NO" to; it's all image control for Floyd. Manny can retire with honor anytime he wants. He goes down as a legend for the competition he stepped in the ring to do war with; unlike Floyd Mayweather.

It's lies, retirement lies always make fights and puts you in a good position because you say if this fight doesn't happen i am retiring it's pac getting some leverage over Floyd.

What about GUzman, Raheem, and Floyd?

Like I said there is nothing you own that you didn't pay taxes on.

You pay by choice, not by requirement. If I was unemployed and had no source of income, I wouldn't pay taxes but still get those services, as well as food stamps, to provide for my kids without paying taxes. So I get your point, but please understand that you can house and feed and provide basic services without paying taxes.
