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

[MC Hammer]

I'm not ok with Broner moving up to 147 fighting the easiest champion to beat for a belt...i'm not ok with Pacquaio fighting Margarito for a 154 lb belt, and i'm not ok with Floyd fighting Canelo at 152 for a belt either. The Cotto fight for both Floyd and Manny was a sham...i'm a die hard Cotto fan and that man had lost it before he fought Margarito..I could see as a fan he'd started to decline and was having to alter his style because of it.Miguel was never the fastest and yes he can get by with what he has left but the Cotto they faced wasn't the same Cotto from years back and hell I find him ridiculous to watch now. He ain't built for what he's trying to do and he'll pay for it against any other top 154lb fighter.

I don't see what most of this has to do with jumping the line and facing the #1 in the division. Garcia Facing #1P4P is nothing like Margarito V Pac, two unranked fighters going at it for a belt in a division NEITHER have fought at. He definitely wouldn't be taking a perceived soft touch like Broner V Mailinaggi, so whats the problem?

Cotto rematch is the only option Showtime have to
make a guaranteed profit for Floyd's next fight
especially with the addition of Roach on Cotto's side.

And this fight is easy to make if Floyd wanted it.

People need to forget the Manny fight. It will never
happen.

ROACH BE LIKE


"IM CASHIN OUT "

[rayb112]

$6 - $10 million? He just made a minimum $18 million this weekend, $28 million for Marquez 4 and $25 million for Marquez 3. In that time frame you and I haven't made not 1% of that..which always befuddles me why is boxing now like hip-hop..frankly when it comes to financials who cares?

According to the records filed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission Pac's biggest purse is 7.4mil...that doesn't mean he didn't get paid more but 7.4 is what was filed...can't speak for his fight with Rios since it was in China...

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

[Furn]

Can someone explain the cash out theory ?

Pac had lost his last 2 fights, one being a brutal KO and still made $18mil at least fighting an average opponent. Canelo and Cotto are fielding big offers to fight each other despite both losing to Floyd.

So I dont see how Pac losing to Floyd diminishes his earning potential that much, Bradley and jmm will still be lucratrive fights after fLoyd and if he wins or its close, he has a huge rematch possiblity.

I dont see what PA\ac has to lose fighting Floyd. Floyd on the other hand has that 0.

[beatnutts]

You're right, he's supposed to fight someone that jumps up TWO weigh classes like Guerrero did.

I never mentioned Mayweather and i actually agree that the Guerrero fight was pathetic but can you agree that the Manny and Rios fight was pathetic also. i will say this though, at least Guerrero was coming up in weight after a win. You do know what happned in Rio's 2 previous fight before Manny right? You're an idiot.

[Kuyukut]

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