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

[PunchyPotorff]

Roach is right. Let's see HBO and Showtime finish working this one out, give Floydie an ultimatum, and watch him freak out with yet another litany of excuses. Roach, Arum, HBO, Showtime, Pac.... all of youse stay at it. Pressure the puzzy to fight, or retire as the joke he is. Legend in his own mind.

Please ...what ever happens NO glass jaw Khan!

fight never going to happen. floyd wouldnt let pac use his puncher glove

Roach might as well give up, just like everybody else.

He'll never fight, no matter what.

Unless all the networks and all the belts boycott him, threaten to strip Mayweather of his titles if he doesn't fight Pac, then I can't see it ever coming to fruition.

still begging and promoting their cherry picked fight that won't sale

Roach should've pushed Manny to sign that first offer and take the tests. He admitted later (too late) he should've done it. Roach also should've called out Arum when he threw up the roadblocks with the cuts not healed, and needing an outdoor stadium, etc. I never heard Roach call out Arum for that. The diplomacy of "making Floyd fight Manny," is ridiculous. You don't sue a man for defamation, turn down a $40 million offer, call for a boycott of his fight (Arum did it before the 1st Maidana fight), then expect him to come back to the negotiating table (especially when the man is getting $32 million guaranteed per fight).

I don't think Espinoza is in a good mood right now, for negotiating with HBO. He just lost B-Hop and Canelo to HBO, and his best partner in Richard Schaefer is in court with GBP. I think he's looking for some pay back. I know I would.

Doesn't matter wha the networks want. PAC turned down 40 mil he doesn't want it

i should think of a good come back but it is just a waste of time. you are paid to defend mayweather anyway. you are not ******, you just needed to be consistent in your spins anyway.

[luisivich]

You and Bob Arum need to stop talking **** about Mayweather, every chance y'all get. That would also help.

tell that to 80 percent of the boxing fans that want the fight. they are also talking **** on floyd.

Come on man (slap, slap, slap) none of that would have made a difference. If Pac had suddenly agreed to everything then, then Floyd would have STILL pulled out.

No matter WHAT happens, Floyd will not ALLOW a fight to materialise. Even if he has to fake an injury the day prior to fight, that's what he'd do.

There is no chance for Pac. A warrior without an opponent!
