Comments Thread For: Roach Unloads Verbal Jabs at Mayweather, Beiber Too

[Kupal99]

Its real unusual how floyd is acting leading up to this fight. I get a feeling that the reason for this is because he knows he's going to be in the toughest fight of his life, and that therest a legitimate chance he may lose. Therefore no **** talkin, just in case. Think Broner fight vs maidana. All that talk, but got his asse beat. Just my take on it. So guys please don't start crying over this post.

Exactly! IMO...he's already loss mentally by not being his ol'self. He's unsure, concerned and worried. Well he should be. He know's he could get seriously hurt in this fight and I believe he will. There's a reason why he's been duckin and dodgin Pac for 5 years. Now he gonna try duckin and dodgin PACs flurries on May 2nd. Good luck with that.

Never heard of a mentor huh.

Bieber isn't a boxer though.

Floyd's not his mentor. Mayweather says his love for Justin Bieber is unconditional.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. "Justin Bieber's My Man Crush!"

Have to keep in mind that Pacquiao and co. have already successfully sued the Mayweather's for libel, so I think the Mayweather approach now is to just win the fight.

If Roach wasn't talking so much it really wouldn't be much of a build up at all though. Manny has always been a totally kind, different character outside the ring. Manny isn't very capable of playing those kinds of mind games.

I think there is something to be said about the Mayweather's not feeding into it. I agree that it's a "no win" in a lot of ways because of Roach's speech impediment/condition. It would be too easy to characterize them as the bad guys if they played into it.

I think it definitely bothers Floyd that he doesn't have the entirety of the U.S. boxing fan-base behind him in what he see's as an international contest. I think Floyd wants to be the face in this whole thing. Everything about this fight is different, none of this is business as usual for anyone involved with this one. Can't wait!

The fight is already interesting enough. It doesn't need **** talk.

Besides, when it comes to **** talking, Angel Garcia is king.

lololol but shiiet talking is what makes a fight interesting remember?? we need shiiet talking leading up to the fight to ****e things up, remember?

What exactly is the nature of Floyd's relationship with Bieber?

Seems a bit strange for a wealthy age 38 man to have such a close relationship with a teen-aged boy.

You do know bieber is not teen age boy right

To pull in young fans. When he realizes that the Bieb doesn't have that pull anymore he will just move on to friend another.

It has been odd. Also makes you wonder if they have a gag order on Floyd Sr. who's been pretty lowkey this entire buildup.

Wouldn't doubt that in the least. Floyd and Ellerbe likely told the team to keep the trash talk to a minimum. Let Freddie do all the talking.
