Comments Thread For: Haymon Will Allow Pacquiao-Garcia Bout, Says Roach

[PAC-BOY]

this is what Garcia will look like after Manny is done with him!

[Ringlife]

Theres nothing swift about Swift. I dont want to see boys vs. men. I dont want to see slow fighters fight fast fighters. Enough already.

The only selling point here is loud mouth racist Angel Garcia making things entertaining trash talking which would help the 24/7 episodes.

I would like to see its better than, the guys Pac's been fighting lately. Pac wants to fight at 140, Swift is the top guy there, both guys are willing to fight each other, why hate on that.

My only question is why does Roach want Many to move down to fight Garcia when Garcia already said he's moving up to 147. I really don't think Garcia's going to be there when Pac gets there lol

"Al Haymon doesn't control if it's a mandatory fight"

Actually Floyd got away with it and even said this:
"Manny is my mandatory? Manny can have my belt" - Floyd I don't need no belts Mayweather

Freddie knows that Haymon is not the obstacle, it's Arum. Oscar and Haymon have been onboard for a long time, but it's Arum who is the problem:

Roach told me he recently talked to Pacman's promoter, Bob Arum, and Roach said that Algieri will get the nod to fight Manny.

"I told Bob, 'I don't like runners,' and Bob said you better find a way, that's who you're fighting," said Roach, the six time Boxing Writers Association trainer of the year.

Roach said he asked if there wasn't somebody more popular, or a better stylistic fit for the 56-5-2 Pacman, who last gloved up April 12, when he conclusively beat (UD12) Tim Bradley in a rematch tangle. After all, Roach offered, Provodnikov would love to clash with the Filipino icon. Nope, Arum said, according to Roach, that'd be a hard sell because he lost his last fight, to Algieri.

"I can't promote that," Arum said to Roach. "Bob likes Algieri, and he told me that's who we're getting."

Manny would be in much better shape if Freddie was his promoter, but Arum calls all the shots, not Koncz, not Freddie, only Bob the snake!

[Showtime..]

Bad match up, Garcia will knock Pacman out with that loaded left hook. Pac cannot hurt Garcia at all, only shot he has is to swell Garcia eye up and make Garcia lose sight so he doesnt commit to his power hook.

500 billion bet if the fight gets made? I got PAC by decision.

Don't forget to pay me after tomorrow night

"His guys are just fighting each other and that gets boring when you have the same guys."

Am I hallucinating or did Freddie Roach really say those words??!! WOW!

[TOBYLEE1]

Like TR and Arum are any different

[jose.sooto]

Hopefully this fight is made sooner rather than later. It's about damn time Manny fights a legit challenge once again.

[al-Xander]

Can't even allow his fighters fight each other. What a joke. Biggest scoundrel in boxing.
