Comments Thread For: Roach Admits Pacquiao Fumble in First Mayweather Talks

[TheOliverBrand]

Nothing new here. Even when team pac admits fault, lets redirect the blame on Floyd anyway. Welcome to boxingscene.

Floyd said it best he's always in a no win.

Floyd haters around the world are writing apology letters to Floyd as we speak I'm sure.

You act like this is new information or even the first time Roach has admitted this. And even with Roach admitting that it was their fault that the fight didn't happen you still blame Mayweather. It just shows that Pacquiao fans have a fundamental problem with the truth.

Bruh, I'm not a Pacquiao fan. All u Floyd fans swear anyone who is against Floyd is a Pac fanatic. I know he's mentioned something like this before. And yeah, Pac and co ****ed up the first time around. And Floyd has been acting like a b1tch ever since.

And what about the 2nd time? Please see #48.

It's Christmas....take it off and not argue about this crap

If you're here reading these comments and even making a comment of your own it makes no sense to be critical of people for being part of the debate. We all, including yourself, obviously don't have anything better to do.

Mayweather tested positive for P.E.D. 3 times

If you do your research, Mayweather failed his drug test after the Mosley fight. The contract had a loophole for them to keep the results private.

Okay. I stand corrected. Haters have a fundamental problem with the truth. The whole notion that it was only Pacquiao's fault in the beginning and it's been Mayweather's fault ever since is just a not so clever way of trying to still blame Mayweather for Pacquiao ducking the fight. It's really thin as far as evidence goes. But we all have the potential to be in denial. So I'm not judging you bruh... Lol

Another Pacquiao fan fabrication that fuels their extreme denial and further proves that they have a problem with the truth. The only people who ever mention this blatant and clumsy lie are Pacquiao fans who post on forums like this one. No articles, no interviews and no television media outlets have ever mentioned these supposed failed tests. But if it makes you feel better keep the denial going.

[doobear]

Lets not forget, when Manny accepted testing, then Floyd wanted it close to the fight. Also, lets not forget, "My health is more important".

Damn your slow

I don't want to beat up on Freddie too bad, because of this:

November 23, 2014

Groundwork has already been laid to help make a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather mega-fight..

The man who helped coordinate the first of what fight fans hope will be further fruitful sessions identified himself Sunday.

He’s Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach.

After Pacquiao’s six-knockdown Sunday conquest of Chris Algieri added fuel to the flame of reignited talks to stage the long-evasive super-fight, Roach told reporters he brokered a meeting earlier this year between Pacquiao promoter/fight-maker Bob Arum and CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves...

Following a Pacquiao-Algieri worldwide publicity tour, Roach said he urged Moonves to meet with Arum at the promoter’s Beverly Hills home.

“They didn't like each other,” Roach said of a strain that dated to Pacquiao’s return to HBO after fighting one bout on Showtime in 2011. “Bob promised [Moonves] three fights … and only gave him one. … [Moonves] actually told me, ‘I’m not dealing with the devil.’ ”

“I kind of sneakily put them together, about four months ago. I knew it was risky. … [Moonves] wanted to make the fight without Bob and I said, ‘That’s not going to happen, you’ve got to bring him in.’ They walked out of that meeting with their arms around each other, happy.”
