Roach admits it was pacquiao's fault the mayweather fight never happened...

Once again damage control. If you want to get the biggest fight in history and youre clean do you ?
A - Take the damn test and get the fight
B - Sue the other Party

And for the drugs tests, no official charges were dropped, only speculations, only damage control

It's only damage control if you want it to be. When 2 egos are involved it's the way it goes, plain and simple. And for the record, I think PBF schools Pacquiao. It's funny how you haven't heard any accusations of roids from Floyd's team ever since the lawsuit got dropped.

Anyone with any common sense at all knows this fight negotiation was destroyed by mp and his team in 2010. Floyd ended up caving on every demand he initially wanted. He said no wasy to 50/50 split and then he caved. He said no way to a cut off for ost, then he caved to 14 days. He caved to a weight penalty without argument. The other team on the other handmade it seem like ost was introduced at the 11th hour.when they knew from.day dot, then they lied by implying they accepted ost with a 14 day cut off In mediation and floyd refused.despite advice from his team to make the deal...and then less than two weeks later clottey was signed sealed.and delivered. That's negotiating in bad faith. Any impartial person, or any non deluded individual armed with this available info.can o ly come to the conclusion that team mp didn't. Want the fight at it's most relevant period.

As for making it now who thinks floyd will agree to a 50% split today? Fight is much harder to make now.because.floyd will want everything on his terms and manny has a history of being greedy with purse splits

THis in particular pis5ed me off. Clottey came out of nowhere. I remember thinking back then if the Floyd fight didn't come off, It be good to see the Marquez III rematch, and suddenly Clottey was the opponent.

The first part is what Roach is saying. Manny should have just taken it because after that Floyd continued with worse roadblocks ..... that was the best deal for Manny out of all of them.

but to say what you say ..... you are like many of the Floyd fans AND FLOYD...... you guys discuss like you never wanted to see this in the first place!

I wanted to see the fight in 2010 when manny was at his peak. floyd did what i didn't think he would do and he offered manny 50/50.

all many had to do was agree to random ost. ever since that incident manny's stock has been in decline and I really think he was on PEDS during the morales rematches (look at how big manny was in the rematch against morales).

so know i don't really care to see it, pac has been koed and look terrible against bradley and marquez.

floyd has his own legacy fights coming up that are far more interesting then a manny fight right now.

floyd unify147
floyd unify 154
floyd goes for wbc lineal title at 160 aganst cotto/martinez winner. that fight is much more interesting then a pac fight, who i feel right now would be beaten brutally by floyd he is too small to pose much of a challenge.

that's because he's been knocked out. floyd isn't pursuing manny any more he has bigger fish to fry.

[Ratchet]

This amount of damage control is pathetic.

"Manny wanted the fight from DAY 1!"


Ahahahahha, come on son. When you want a fight, you decline the offer, sue the other party, give him an ultimatum, say after all your fight "hmmm yess ask to my promooterr hmmm" and sign a fight against a guy you already beat ? ahahah yeah sure

Did Floyd accept Manny's cutoff date?
Floyd's response: I don't accept

Did Floyd respond to Arum's countdown?
"I'm not interested in fighting Manny..... I'm going on a long vacation"

Did Floyd accept Manny's counter offers in 2012?

Did Floyd say recently that he is or is not interested in fighting Manny?


Using your dumb logic, Floyd ducked from the get go!

There were a lot of factors why this fight never happened. As of now Pacquiao has till the end of the year with Top Rank and then is a so called "Free Agent". It should get done in Sept of 2015.

[PlasterWraps]

that's because he's been knocked out. floyd isn't pursuing manny any more he has bigger fish to fry.

I doubt that it's that and more the failed A samples from Floyd, but whatever. If they were both found to be juicing then both B samples would have come back negative anyway.

I still hold both guys responsible for not making the biggest fight in history.

[ADP02]

No he clearly says it was their fault not all that **** you wrote.

I'm responding to this lie from a Floydie poster: "Pac NEVER wanted that fight. Now Roach just confirmed it. "


Roach didn't say that. He blames his side for not accepting it but doesn't say it's because Manny didn't want the fight. Roach even said in the same interview that fighters want to fight ....

Don't get carried away Floyd fan.

Floyd is fighting Maidana ..... that is no legacy fight ..... but thanks for the laugh!

So you are hoping that Floyd goes to 160? Yet he ducked Sergio Martinez at 154 .......
