Comments Thread For: Roach: Networks Must Push For Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Mzembe]

Mayweather will learn to read before he fights Pacquiao... Let's move on already please...

If someone asks why Mayweather and Pacquiao never fought, we'll always have the video that explains it all: "My health comes first..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about we look at FACTS and then we can judge you with your obtuse comments:
1) If Castillo beat Floyd like you boldly claim, how come he lost the rematch? How come he never went on to become great?
2) Now let's count the number of times Pac's master Bob Arum has contradicted himself and analyze his hypocrisy:
- In 2008 after Pac drained and beat Oscar, Roach and Arum both said Pac wasn't ready for Floyd? Where is the logic in that? After beating the great Oscar you are not ready for Floyd?? Really?
- Pac drains Cotto then beats him then drains Margarito and beats him and everyone thinks he is the second coming of Christ but he gets utterly destroyed by Marquez a little later. Marquez who could not even a single minute of a 12 round fight against Floyd. Really?

3) Can you name one true WW that Pac has ever beaten? Or even a belt holder at WW? Bradley is a BUM just so you know.
4) Every single fighter Pac has fought at 147 has been a bum (Rios, Clottey, Bradley) or a Mayweather left-over (Mosley, Marquez) or unknown (Algieri).
- Why can't Pac fight someone legit? Algieri? Really

I hope Algieri beats Pac so people can you can shut the front door.

What about Bob Arum's stadium on the Las Vegas strip??

Well even with the stadium... Pac would still have to leave Arum by breaching his contract, sign to Mayweather promotions which has no notable fighters signed to it and by Floyd's own admission an incompetent CEO, and Pacquiao would have to breach his contract with HBO to fight exclusively on Showtime...

Yes, Floyd is really trying to make the fight...

LOL Wow, I couldn't even address every illogical argument you made in your post in my next lifetime...

Let's see what I could do... first you said "If Castillo beat Floyd like you boldly claim, how come he lost the rematch? How come he never went on to become great?" What does a rematch have to do with the first fight? lol Every person who wins the first fight must also win the rematch in order for us to believe he won the first fight lol? Does that make sense?

You bring up Marquez... and don't mention Memo or Triangle theories...Mayweather beat Marquez beat Pacquiao...ummm sorry anyone with any common sense knows styles make fights..so that tells us nothing...
You also don't mention that Pacquiao has beaten every other common opponent in more impressive fashion than Floyd...

So Pac drained Cotto, De La Hoya and Margarito lol... So does Floyd get credit for coming in 2 pounds over the contracted weight against Marquez and "draining" Canelo? lol Or is there a double standard...

Mayweather has no problem retiring off into the sunset being called a Coward. he will be forever remembered as the chickenshlt phag that wouldnt make a reasonable deal to get the fight the done.

Meanwhile... Manny will make sure he lets the world know that Floyd is a chicken and will up until the day Fraud retires.

Pac is going **** around and get KO by his current opponent worrying about Floyd

[JJRod]

Not just the networks, but the fans.

I'm sure Pac will be fine... I mean Floyd called out Pacquiao during a press conference for the Ortiz fight "Manny Pacquiao, yes, you're next" ::cracking high-pitched voice::: and Floyd was fine... but then again you might be right because Floyd never had any intention of fighting Pac so he wasn't really concerned with Pacquiao...

[turnedup]

This fight will happen eventually, it seems the politicians in boxing have finally decided since they are losing both men soon enough might as well feed them to each other. The issue I have with this is that itll change nothing even after it happens because instead of networks having promoters by the balls its the other way around. When the networks had control of boxing they forced matches to happen, now promoters use leverage of other talents on their roster to dictate what,where and when. We need more tournaments, we need more divisional #1 and #2 fighting regularly.

This again? How many times we going to have a post of this fight that will probably not happen?

[anonymous2.0]

What's the ratio, for every 1 article about the Pacquiao/Algeiri fight there's 10 or so on Team Pac talking about Floyd?

[DadeCounty305]

My first thoughts as well. And all Pac fans started attacking Floyd again saying Floyd was holding up the fight. Now they can see that once again Arum was lying. But I'm sure they'll find a way to still support Arum's nonsense and deny any factual information.

You Stan's love to come with Arum and Pac did this or didn't do that. We all know May came up with the bs drug test AFTER they both agreed to 50/50 in Dec 2009 to fight in March 2010. Pacman agreed to everything in 2012. Even said May can choose what color trunks he can wear. We all know "My health comes first." Smh. Then it was take 40M without NO PPV, gate, etc etc. No one in their right mind would take a deal like that when BOTH will bring in 150M-200M together. Then may said Pacman has to fight for TMT promotion or no fight. I can go on and on with Floyd's roadblock after roadblock. Lets be honest here... he doesn't want to fight Manny! Floyd Sr on record saying "Don't put my son in the ring with a southpaw." Think I'm lying, Go watch the May vs Chop Chop Corley fight. He was quoted within the first 9mins of the fight. He's fought a few southpaws since but we all know southpaw Manny Pacquiao is a no no. I wish Floyd believed he'll beat Manny like his fans. He calls himself Money and TMT. But he doesn't want the BIGGEST payday in the HISTORY of the sport. It's been FIVE YEARS of DUCKING!!! #REALTALK
