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

[theocdog]

You want the real reason this fight didn't happen? It wasn't arum, it wasn't manny, it wasn't Floyd, it wasn't Haymon/Schaeffer. Walk over to the nearest mirror and take a hard long look. Money talks and bullshhh walks..if both these cats started losing money to the networks you bet your @ss we'd seen at least three fights by now..at least two guaranteed!! Keep paying to watch them fight ortiz, guerrero, rios, and marquez. Keep on dishing out your hard earned money where instead of you dictating what gets offered to you, you sit there and eat all the bullshhhh fights they shove down your throats because it came with a $10 million marketing hype up. I stream! No shame about it either. I got tired of the nonsense and the back forth threads about this shhh.I decided to speak with my hard earned money instead.

This is some bull****. You have a great point right here ^^^ but nobody replied to your post. Everyone wants to continue pointing fingers while clinging on to their mans nuts.

Funny stuff in my best Carson impression.

Look man, Roach knows its really Pacquiao thats running out of options. Their pool has shrunk and they literally don't have anybody after they lose to Bradley.

Cotto left TR and got the fight. Manny needs to do the same thing. Ariza already told us the deal. Manny is shook and didn't want to deal. Got scared and handed the phone over to his bi.tch when he couldn't handle the pressure.

I have posted too many times how Arum is the poison in this sickness, so I won't even go there. TR options for Manny may be getting slim, but Floyd's options for megafights are much more optimistic. Whether you love or hate Khan, that will be a megafight if Khan wins. Cotto rematch can be a megafght if Cotto wins. If Canelo beats Lara, a rematch can be a megafight @ 154 without a catch weight. And there is Martinez, if he wins. Floyd is gonna cash out in the last 3 fghts, WITH OR WITHOUT Manny pacquiao.

Your ignorant comment is asinine unbelievable. Floyd offered Pac $40 MM and his people convinced him to turn it down, thinking 1) he had better options or 2) that he deserved an equal split. Look at him now with his dwindling prospects and lingering tax problems its obvious he wishes he had accepted Floyd' generous offer.

I still hope they fight both camps are to blame one was scare of needles and the other could have gave a better offer than 40 million

Somehow Marquez got into the ring 4 times with Pac. Bradley about to get into the ring for the second time. And Floyd has never managed to make it into the ring once!

I know that the Pac/May or May/Pac can be promoted by both TR & GBP at the same time, But Im just wondering if the fight can televise PPV thru HBO & Showtime at the same time. Is it possible?

[DonSimon87]

Floyd

1) Take the test
2) Leave top rank
3) Accept 40 million and nothing more

Pacquiao

1) Won't do random testing for various reasons (not going to be bossed around, scared of needles and loss of blood will make him weaker)
2) Arum wants a new stadium built for the fight
3) 50/50 or no fight
4) Will fight now and donate purse to charity

You can't point the finger at one fighter. I just wonder if Pac left TR, would this fight get made?

All Manny has to do is when his contract is up with Top Rank is to sign with Al Haymon and the fight is virtually a done deal. The reason why I say sign with Al Haymon is because technically speaking, he is already under contract with Golden Boy. They currently receive a 25% finders fee from each bout he signs.
