Comments Thread For: Roach is Clear in Backing Pacquiao Against Provodnikov

[PacmanP4PLegend]

It's "principle" not principal..........

Rofl and since we're correcting grammar, it's "If I were Ruslan" instead of "If I was Ruslan".... just saying...

[Joey_Torreo]

Ruslan is next. Watch him pick up Robert Garcia

Dude you beat me to it. If they're worried about selling this fight this will be great way to get some numbers. To continue to feed the Garcia roach rivalry

[Joey_Torreo]

Would not mind seeing Ruslan and Porter...two men with vicious hooks.

That's a mouth watering fight

[KingTito]

I'd rather see Manny fight Garcia or Matthyse

I agree. I don't want him in there with a TR fighter.

[PunchyPotorff]

wtf? what was the purpose of Golden boy and Top Rank ending the cold war if now Pac has to fight a sparring and stable mate at his gym? Man Arum is really getting skimpy he is the type who would force two brothers to fight lol.

This is a ****** fight makes no sense at all, and Roach even entertaining it shows he is a Top Rank shill.

There are plenty of other options out there why pit your two fighters against each other unless you are running out of options.

I can see Pac fighting the winner if Chris Algieri wins, but man this is awkward ruslan vs Pacman. You guys actually believe Roach will sit that fight out and miss out on a million dollar trainer fee? haha yeah right. This is Roach's way of transfering the power to Ruslan hoping that Ruslan can KO Pac and become the next star that is what Roach whole plan is this why he will still have a good relationship with Pac and he will encourage Pac to retire after, but if Pac wins its a win still he can prolong making money from Pacman so either way Roach wins.

I doubt that. Provo has indicated he won't be fighting much longer.

[PunchyPotorff]

Pac vs Provo would be Rios II. Which I wouldn't mind seeing, but maybe instead bring on Danny Garcia, Khan, or Bonehead. If the 'cold war' is over... PROVE it.

[Southpawology]

sorry but I'll pass on watching two sparring partners and friends with the same trainer fight on PPV

[DoktorSleepless]

Just barely a few hours ago I read that he would rather not be involved at all.

*This just in!* Boxing fans must be smoking crack if they believe Bob Arum will co promote a Pacman fight. The cold war is only over if its lesser fighters for non PPV fights. TR will still do TR only PPV and Manny will only face TR people so the money stays in house. Sad for boxing fans who wanna see the best fights possible but true for business that Bob Arum is in and that is pimping .. uhh i mean promoting.

Provo sucks. Garcia, Maidana, or Matthyse is so much more intriguing.
