Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather, Pacquiao Options Getting Smaller

[assiong]

Manny getting planked by JMM will leave a bigger hit on Pacman's legacy than Floyd's legacy would take for not fighting Manny.

These I don't comprehend, you're saying that once a fighter get KOd it will tarnish all of his accomplishments that no one even come close of achieving? So, Ali, Frazier, Tyson, to name the few, their legacy is kapoot? Ok..

Not only is Pacquiao vs. Mayweather the biggest blockbuster left for either guy, but if they don't fight, Mayweather will face the questions the rest of his left. Especially for walking away after Pacquiao agreed to all of Mayweather's terms; for the moments captured on video where he's ranting, hysterically, about his health and family as reasons for not fighting Pacquiao.

Mayweather is the best, and his abilities and record prove it. But no one with half a brain can deny his obvious fear of Manny; especially from 2007-2011 when Manny seemed unbeatable and exceptionally dangerous.

you know what - Ive wanted to see this fight for over 5 yrs - but Ive finally gotten to the point where I dont care.

Even if they fought, it will never be what it shouldve seen '09 - '11. Bradley is correct. Pac doesnt have the killer instinct - he didnt show it vs Mosely, Bradley or Rios. The none fight he seemed to have it
- Marquez IV - he got caught. Regardless, Pac is not the same - I could be wrong - but he's not. I think the Pac of '09m-'11 with his speed, unorthodox angles, southpaw stance and speed wouldve beat Mayweathr. I thinkk if they fought now, it would still be interesting, but not what it shouldv been.
and it doesnt matter bc if this fight didnt happen when it was going to generate 300+ million in revenue, it will never happen

Bull Dooley. This ain't nothing but them promoting their fight off Mayweathers name. They want no part of mayweather. Pacs options Bradley 5 Alvarado 1 rios 5 Marquez 20. Mayweather has maidana Garcia Mathysse Thurman collazo Lara Sergio Martinez khan.floyd mayweather does'nt need manny ducquiao,period

No part of Floyd? PAC offer him to fight for free just to find out who really want the fight and who doesn't. Guess we know who doesn't right.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

so they fighting in 2015?

Probably not,, it will be 2016 or 17 or later... These guys will be far past it,, kinda like Roy Hopkins 2 or crap like that...

I just don't see the fight happening while Floyd is under his showtime contract, but honestly who knows, showtime wants to make money and manny brings the most money so they might try and force that fight

[assiong]

manny who do u want next: "talk to my promoter"

Arum doesn't want to match his cash cows, with somebody he doesn't control, and he has no control over Mayweather, and we are seeing the same thing with garcia and gamboa, please wake the **** up

So why not mention this roadblock on their 1st, and 2nd negotiation then? Manny agreed on all of his terms and suddenly he won't fight TR's fighter? Only blind, ignorant, and very ****** people don't see what is going on here.

Floyd agreed to all of Manny's demands the question is why didn't Manny take the drug test that he is taking now? Weird right? All he had to do was say yes to the test in the original negotiations. Why didn't Manny want to be tested in the first round of talks..... Answer that, so who really wanted to fight? I guess the toughest man in boxing is afraid of giving blood.

Not true unless you are a Floyd fan.

I'm a Manny fan and in the other thread I picked the 4th fight as the most thrilling of the 4. It went back and forth. Manny almost had Marquez then Marquez got Manny. Now that is a fight! Just seeing that thread made proves my point. Awesome rivalry!

The Manny vs Marquez rivalry is like Ali vs Frazier. Ali got knocked down, Frazier couldn't continue the 3rd fight ..... years later, people still talk about it.

Floyd? Has got NOTHING! ZIPPO! ..... Floyd had the chance but all he really wanted was ...... money and health.

[Richard Wadd]

**** both of them. Great fighters who refused to do what was necessary to make the fight, while their ****** fans spend years defending them as if they were their lawyers.

"Why fight him when I can get lots of money fighting someone else and the fans will still buy it, and my gullible cult of fans will defend me to the death because they idolize me???

Manny walked away the 1st time around Floyd walked away the 2nd time around; neither wanted the fight at the same time after that. If Floyd 40 mil flat offer was laughable so was the lets fight for charity offer. No one camp tried harder than other to make the fight both are equal to blame.

Can't compare the "NO PPV for" Manny to Manny's recent comment. Manny's comment came after Floyd said that "Manny is desperate for money and I, Floyd, am not interested in a Manny fight"

Just way way too many roadblocks coming from Floyd. Floyd never really wanted this fight.
