Comments Thread For: Roach Feels Mayweather-Pacquiao Closer Than Ever

[woopwoop]

Thanks to all the gentlemen responsible for cornering Floyd and forcing him to fight Pacquiao and making this fantasy fight into a reality.

[Carpe Diem]

It sounds like it's a done deal, but Team Pacquiao don't want to spill the beans yet and they'll wait for the A-side to make the official announcement. If/when it gets announced, i expect the official thread announcement to reach 400+ pages. A lot of the OG posters will come out of lurking, etc. Lol

If Roach is talking like this then that means it's going to happen.

Maybe. But so far it's just been Manny and Roach talking. Would like to hear something from Floyd for once. Anything to give us some more hope that it's close.

Floyd will announced the fight

[Rip Chudd]

I thought it was closer then ever during the first negotiations when Floyd actually signed the contract.

I like how the floyd/pac articles always state "Bob Arum is negotiating" like hes the only one setting this fight up

Cant wait til it gets announced tho! Just think all the typical floyd/pac debates will soon comes to an end. Now itll be "Floyd/Pac wanted it more..Bob is the pope". I should expect to see early excuses from Pacfans

Announce it during the Super Bowl in a commercial..

I hope the fight happen. Drug testing and money split are ok but but gloves size and weight is not. They should be able to wear gloves they are comfortable with as long as it conforms with the regulations.

I think i already smell an excuse

big fight but lets be honest here,both are kind of past their primes,so this fight to me isn't as interesting as if could have been 5 years ago,floyd faster and manny juiced up back then,but of course that's why he refused the testing

It would have been a hell of a better match 5 years ago. But if this fight does happen it will still break records for the biggest PPV of all time.
