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

[Kagami Taiga]

Well from what I recall Floyd was reluctant to fight Canelo at first but CBS/Showtime pressured him into it, largely because the ratings for the Guerrero fight were a disappointment. I imagine they'll apply pressure here as well...

U mean from what u recall pulling out your ass?

Funny, but this quote is talking about 4 months ago

People need to realize that Roach's quotes are regarding a meeting that happened 4 months ago. Look at the Los Angeles Daily News ARTICLE.

Link any proof of this. I won't be expecting a response.

He also said...."We wanna fight the biggest and the best out there and YES Manny Pacquiao, You are next!!!!!"

Then later when asked about Manny...He said, " I Never said that, Dont put words in my mouth"....lol

That was the most excited I have been. Man I remember that feeling.......and then the disappointment of Floyd going back on his word.

yeah, I think high possibility that this will happen coz of the situation of floyd right now. its either he will retire again or face Pac coz we already toalking about president of CBS not just showtime.. it means something, they loosing money and time for them to cash in from floyd or they cant afford any break even fight with floyd. This is why floyd is silent this time again...

At this stage in their careers Pac is all wrong for Floyd IMO Pacquiao destroys Floyd. or Floyd runs, holds and survives Manny but loses his 0. Don't get mad at me it's just an opinion.

Floyd Will Make His Point To Show He's Bigger Than CBS, Moonves & Decline Fight

Watch all this discussion take place, massive offers worth more than $100M to both fighters, CBS & Dubai investors strategize everything, partnerships, then Floyd declines it all, and says, he's his own man, he's the boss, he decides, he's bigger than Boxing, bigger than Dubai investors, bigger than CBS & Moonves. Floyd isn't willing to risk his "0" to Manny Pacquiao. Period. They are already talking about more than $110M to Floyd plus two future beyond Manny, and $100M to Pacquiao... Watch Floyd blow them off and say, "I'm my own man".

Sounds good to me

Oh wow, Floyd is going silent again...what a shocker...

You are as ****** as all the other Pac worshippers on this site. I honestly believe that Floyd is trying to make the fight happen. That is why he is saying nothing in the media. Bob Arum and Freddie Roach are the ones who are talking all the nonsense.

Once the fight is made, clowns like you will no longer be able to say Floyd is scared of Pacquaio. That is when you will start making excuses for a Pacquaio loss -- lame a..ss excuses such as Pac didn't wear the right gloves, Floyd waited until Pac became old, Pac has been in too many wars, the ring is too big, Floyd ran and all kinds of other nonsense.
