Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Needs Pacquiao For PPV, Not Khan

[kamikaze_ero]

Amir is a huge PPV star, wtf is Roach talking about?

who do you think will bring the best PPV? Pacman or Khan fighting Floyd?
what match up do you think a boxing fans will clamor in a PPV fight,
Floyd vs Khan or Floyd vs Pacman??????its obvious...no need for an answer???? you know who people want????your cray if you say Khan

[kamikaze_ero]

Roach's words are moronic of course, he knows they are. He knows Arum isn't going to match his fading, battered fighter against Mayweather. Arum isn't through raping him blind, and although Manny's fans act like its fear keeping this fight from happening when in their true mind's eye they know its actually greed.

By what merit does Pacquiao demand such a fight? He beat a heavy bag, and?

Pacman is the 8x champion in different division...3 times awarded as boxer of the year........what merit does khan demand for such a PPV fight?

You expect us to believe Roach said all that, and without stuttering?


Ha!

Roach is out of his mind! Either he hasn't seen or been infirmed about Floyd past PPV sales or he's just an idiot.. Just look at how much Floyd sells that after Arum & Pacquiao talked so much S H I T about random drug testing & put every excuse in the book NOT to do it, now they have EATEN ALL THE S H I T they talked & are now ALL FOR IT!

Do your own research & you will see that's all bull**** about Pacquiao being an 8 time or 8 division world champion, he won OFFICIAL world championship titles in 6 divisions & that's the same amount of times he's been a world champion..

Little Floyd

Little Floyd will never fight Pacquiao. He doesn't have the stones.........

lol

All they ever do is use fmm name to make money on ppv saying we going to try to fight flyod next then y schedule a April fight for pac wen fmm fights in may u pac fans r jokes this been goin on

When Floyd fights he has to dish out:

39% to uncle Sam
Pay Al haymon
Pay gbp their flat fee
pay the chest rubber Ellerbe
Pay his trainer/cutman.
Etc..


Floyd would be lucky to keep 35% of his total purse. Same goes for pac but let's not act as if Floyd is pocketing all that bread because he's not. If I was pac I'd fight all my fights in Macau just to avoid paying the millionaire tax that they hit u with for fighting in the states.

What are you talking about just in 2012 alone he made $85 million without endorsements. Mayweather is getting paid and getting paid way more than Pac with ever imagine.

Lets face it Roach is right. I've come out of pocket for every Floyd PPV except for Ortiz. And if he fights Khan I once again will skip my almost traditional trip to the movies to see Floyd fight live. Though I know Floyd will be competitive early, Khan just doesn't have enough of a name or pose any type of real threat. We know he's fast but he's just a kid that will be over his head like Canelo was. Pacquiao will have everyone buzzing even if this version of the Pacman isn't the ferocious buzzsaw we previously experienced. I absolutely get the Pacman PPV either partying it up with friends (who will gladly come out of pocket for this showdown) or go to the movies for an epic night of big screen throwdown! And lets not underestimate how big this could be. It will outsell what Floyd did with Cotto easy & could break 2 million especially if given the proper marketing.

I think with Manny's tax problems. Its pretty much clear who needs a big PPV.
