Roach knows now Manny can talk all he wants for the press since Uncle Bob will hover over to protect his golden goose from Mayweather. Floyd's not talking because there's nothing to talk about. He knows Arum is blocking the fight that's why he asked PAC to make the fight without Uncle Bob (Uncle Sam's cuz).
I think this is what Roach is REALLY saying. He said previously that he feels Arum wants to save Floyd for last and that neither fighter is afraid of the other. If Pac is making it clear and is pushing Floyd to make the fight in this manner, it does 2 things. I puts the blame on Floyd for the fight not being made yet and it also puts pressure on Arum to do what it takes to make the fight.
Floyd's Trainer/associate: Floyd wants Pac
Floyd: YOUR FIRED doe!
.
Big difference between "Floyd wants Pac" and "I guarantee the fight gets made". Leon Love said the same thing weeks ago. He is still with MP. Same Watson said "Floyd wants Pac" 5 days ago, why have we heard no fallout about that? Floyd is keeping quiet now. Could it be he wants things quiet and doesn't want anyone spilling anything about the fight being being made? Seems more reasonable, seeing that Love and Watson haven't been threatened.
I understand Floyd has an undeniable skill-set, there is no lying that he is a great boxer. I just cant help but laugh at his LAME ash self annointed brand "TBE"
Keep ducking Floyd its gotten you this far
This, pretty much.
I love his skills as a Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker fan...and of course a Pacquiao fan. But to be a coward the way he is avoiding the fight like plague is really disrespectful in the sport of pugilism.
Furthermore, making the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would end the luxurious careers of Arum and Roach. No more big money or big press quotes.
Really?
YOu know Arum was there even in the Muhammad Ali era right? And he is still ongoing. Meanwhile Freddie Roach as a trainer has been there since the Mike TYson era also and while Eddie Futch mentored him as a trainer...
You really think their careers would come into a screeching halt?
