Comments Thread For: Roach: CBS CEO Said He Can Deliver Floyd Mayweather

[MrRolltide91]

I thought Pacquiao was a free agent now? Why would HBO have to be involved? And you do realize Mayweather has to get over his Health Comes First problems before the fight can be made...

Manny isn't a free agent. he is signed to hbo.

So Floyd being silent and basically giving his camp a gag order...isn't suspect to Floyd minions?

Is that something someone who is trying to make the fight would do? Why does Floyd want to hide the negotiations from the public... I think we all know the answer to that question...

He doesn't want the public to find out the ridiculous conditions he's trying to place on Pac to make the fight...

Example: If the ref isn't one May likes, he'll ask for a replacement (aka TMT's own Kenny Mayless)

Arum wants neutral non-Vegas judges and Floyd wants at least two Vegas judges

Floyd has to have the fight in Vegas so he can have the NSAC get his referee and judges...

Floyd wants Pac to use different gloves

Floyd wants a rematch clause but doesn't want to give Pac one...

Everyone knows why Floyd won't fight Manny it's plain and simple. There is no one out there right now that has the experience, skill, hand speed, power and sheer will that manny has and laugh all you want but that scares the crap out of Floyd. Im not saying that Floyd wouldn't win or manny would win but if you look at this fight in terms of where both of these guys are at its a toss up. Floyds defense vs mannys offense.

Not at all suspect, especially after what happened the last time. Even Arum was said time after time that the fight shouldn't be negotiated in the media. Is THAT suspect? It would be best if everyone shut the hell up until the fight is done deal. Why would he need to hide those things? They are gonna come out anyway. Why would he care what people think? Floyd is gonna do what he wants to do anyway.

He did the exact same thing with Mosley before that fight and everyone was talking the same trash that they were talking now about him ducking. Why doesn't everyone just sit back, stop acting like they own a crystal ball, watch and wait to see what happens in the end??!!

[Anxious Times]

I just want to see the fight happen.

Let's compare who really wants the fight and who puts up the road blocks:

Who is the one who always has conditions:

Who complains about the referee in his fights? Floyd or Pac?

Who complains about his opponent's gloves? Floyd or Pac?

Who demands every fight must be at the MGM? Floyd or Pac?

Who demands a large MGM ring must be used in his fights? Floyd or Pac?

Who didn't get DQed because he gets special treatment in Vegas when his Uncle walked in the ring when he fought Zab Judah? Floyd or Pac?

Who says My Health Comes first but previously fights known steroid/PED juicer Shane Mosley? Floyd or Pac?

Who demands a rematch clause but doesn't want to give the other side a rematch clause? Floyd or Pac?

That's the best stance to have. It's a great fight. Anyone saying the other guy is going to get destroyed is nuts, they're two of the best fighters of the last 20 years not some flash in the pan.

LOL We've been waiting almost 5 years now hahaha.. Can you promise us that Floyd will not threaten to take off 2015 like he did 2010 and 2011 last time?

The advantages of being the A-side. Doesn't matter because Pacquiao is going to KO him anyway right?

I have a feeling that Floyd is going to agree on everything except for one thing he's going to want usada to do the blood testing and he's not going to budge on that. As far as gloves that will be a fight the day before the fight happens when they pick them. Nsac will pick the ref and it will probably be either bayless or tony weeks. The ref won't matter can't help it if Floyd wants to hold all night which he probably will try to do. Judges will be probably Dave moretti glen trowbridge and Adelaide bird. I'm just shooting out my ass with most of these predictions but this is probably what will happen.
