Comments Thread For: Roach Told Pacquiao To Verbally Press Mayweather

[radiotracer]

I think this puts Mayweather on the spot. In another sense It's a shame that Pacquiao had to be told to do this.

how many times have you heard pac talking about other boxers. Roach talks all the smack and pac just fights.

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).

don't fool yourself why wouldn't arum want this fight. It's not like pac is undefeated sitting on an egg. This is the biggest payday in boxing. People claim arum is greedy now they say he doesn't want this big money fight. There's only one family that doesn't want this fight and their last name is mayweather.

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.

No doubt about it and hes lost fans bcuz so (myself)..i alsi love Pacs boxing but i just cant help but shake my head that he resigned with Top Rank when they hold him back, Pac can make just as much $$$ as floyd WITHOUT TR if he capitolized on his own brand..tragic really

Freddie needs to press Arum, not Manny. He needs to speak out about how Arum ****ed up the last 2 negotiations, so that the focus shifts to Arum. I've never heard Freddie talk about the cuts, stadiums, etc. Making Floyd mad, make the negotiations harder, not easier.

Yes!! Pressure Bob. Pac needs to press Bob hard even in the media..if Pac was thinking smartly he could have had his own "hidden clause" in the contract that would state- in the event that my promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, can not secure me a bout of my choosing, I Pac man may be free to seek out and secure a fight as a free agent- how cool would that be? i can only dream pac was that savvy a businessman

I really hope one day some people see all this for what it was. Both share blame but so much of this falls on Arum/Roach and all people want to do is blame Floyd because they hate his ass. Arum never wanted that fight to happen and won't ever let it happen. Roach for all the **** he talks never really genuinely wanted the Floyd fight until recently. He never felt Manny could beat Floyd until the last year or so. He seems to think Floyd's legs are gone, which they aren't but he knows Floyd is getting older so. I just don't know why he or anyone else feels Pac is going to hurt or stop Floyd if they did fight. Floyd has taken shots from way bigger guys/bombers than Pac and he never folded/was stopped. Even when you ask people who Pac beat they always say it was not power, but speed and angles. Pac is just not a big puncher at 147, its painfully obvious. Algieri went down 5 times (1 was bs) but only one shot really hurt him considerably. Do you really think that Pac can stop Floyd when he went 24 rds with Chino, 12 rds with JMW Cotto and Canelo each and was never really hurt? Cmon. Roach is after this bad because he wants a bigger payday just like Manny does. Manny is just running his mouth because he owes millions to the IRS and is probably going broke.

Someone needs to remind Roach that Pacquiao has no say in this matter.. Roach needs to talk to Pacquiaos Daddy Arum.. Pacmans just Arums little puppet..

arum and manny's camp are very vocal that their first choice is floyd while floyd himself and
his camp til now are very silent,avoiding pacman direct challenge to him..So floyd is d problem even marquez sees it dat way..No plan b for pacman if only floyd has balls to accept d challenge.

[Yaconcha]

it doesnt happen that way anymore freddie boy, those days are long gone.
its about money now, securing a legacy, a 50 and 0 fight record and who can blame him. if i were floyd and you pi55ed me off, your man would have no chance of getting rich in the process of you running your pie hole off.
fmj has fought many world champs and taken many "0"s he has nothing to proove to anybody except a fight with pacman but, pacman is only a fan favourite and now....well, hes been ktfo by a modern great, beaten by a complete boring nobody called bradley, held for a distance win against rios and couldnt keep the other kid....algieri down.
lets face it, hes skint and wants money and like i said with the other bum (king khunt) you wont get a fight with fmj when your shoutin ya mouth off. simple.
