Comments Thread For: Roach Says Haymon Blocking Pacquiao's Sparring Picks

[Str8 Right]

So Weebler was repeating a rumor. That's been debunked. Let's see if he continues.

kinda like you continue to repeat the rumor that pac was on roids...where's the proof? That's what I thought.

And yet... Manny is making double what Floyd offered him and wearing the gloves of his choosing. Lampley is also calling the fight... Manny isn't the boss Floyd is, but Floyd isn't the boss Les Moonves is. He told Floyd to fight him and Floyd listened like he was supposed to because of the contract he signed. He's no more his own boss than you or I.

Got news for you if that contract didn't say he's obligated to fight Manny or any other specific fighter for that matter Floyd would've told Les to **** off ... Through an attorney of course. I don't pretend to know the details of his contract and I doubt anyone else on this site does either.

So is it confirmed that these two will in fact not show up to spar Manny?

Who ever ask for names I just provided the link that says who Roach picked to spar with Manny. If those reported suppose sparring partners didn't show up, then it's confirmed.

Yup. Neither Pacquaio nor Mayweather HAVE to agree to fight each other at this stage of their careers. They behave as if they are random contestants off the street trying to get a spot on American Idol.

Or go in there and injure Manny. Not that open up a cut on Manny. Or slip and fall and turn his ankle or something.

Now you're risking money being lost. That ain't what's up. I'm Judy saying do a little gamesmanship. I dig it

If I'm Manny I'm asking myself why isn't my team this clever? Why aren't the people I have around me trying to do their best to make sure Mayweather is at his best? ...

Don't give me that "Manny is above those dirty tactics" draining/fighting guys weight classes below or fighting bigger guys at catch weights while not illegal isn't something to be admired either...

He kept it real, good interview. He totally won me over when he didn't try to cover up Floyd kicking that guy out. He basically said "Yeah, Floyd acts like a b*tch sometimes." I appreciate the honesty.

This is not the first time Floyd tries to destroy opponents' preparations because Canelo had similar problems in his preparations for Floyd. He had problems finding sparring partners but he found these three after a while...



...they then went to Shane Mosley's camp in Big Bear. However, as soon as Floyd found out who these sparring partners were he seems to have paid two of them to leave immediately. So Canelo only had one sparring partner in his preparation for Floyd. However, Shane's son also tried to help, I think.

I don't remember which two of the three sparring partners that were paid but I recognize the fighter on the left in the picture, that's Keandre Gibson.

Bizarre if true. But I doubt it is. Freddie talks a lot of crap in the build up to fights.

He didn't have to fight money, he was supposed to make money. You think Showtime signed that contract with the clause that "Floyd can't make money and there is nothing you can do about it?" Floyd got to fight who he wanted, Les said this **** isn't going to fly and he had to fight Manny to make the contract valid. Showtime had every right to say Floyd wasn't living up to his end by not living up to the money he was supposed to be making. I don't need a contract to know everything revolves around money.
