Comments Thread For: Roach: If Pacquiao Wins, I Will Ask Him To Retire

[Evol]

I disagree... it should be the other way around.. 60-40 Pac if Pacquiao wins.
Or 50-50 purse split

Why? what incentive does it give Pac to give a rematch... It's minimum 50/50.

fuck a 50/50 split. when pac beats floyd and floyd begs for a rematch its 70/30 in pac's favor.

freddie is cray cray.. ur not suppose to say shiiet like this before the biggest fight of ur fighter's career. win or lose roach should have kept this shut. anything about retiring can be talked about after the fight.

You must have missed Floyd Snr saying he wants his son to retire after the Pacman fight.

ok roach and sr are both idiots then. although i havent heard sr. said that about floyd. but why would a trainer say such a thing before the fight even started? win or lose thats gotta make ur fighter feel a little something if he was to hear these comments from his trainer. there's only 2 reasons why a trainer would say this to his fighter.

1. his fighter is starting to slip so its time to hang it up.

2. after his fighter beat his opponent, there's no one left that is worthy enough to fight.

so dont u think these thoughts will be in ur head if u were about to enter the biggest fight of ur career only to hear ur trainer say this about u?

you're right...if pac wins, Pac can dictate the terms...so he can easily say 70-30 ..take it or leave it..with VADA testing instead of USDA... especially if pac wins clearly on may 2nd.

But I'd say 60-40 should be the lowest.

I think Floyd would only grant a rematch if the fight ends up in a controversial decision.

When Floyd wins, I see Manny fighting JMM a 5th time and then maybe Terrance Crawford.

naw, fuck trying to work it out with floyd. 70/30, floyd can either accept that and be the b-side or live with the fact that he got beat by manny. after all the shiiet that floyd has done, fuck a 60/40 split.

marquez wont fight manny if there's vada testing.

Yeah I think Manny loses that fight against Floyd too but I think Terence has the better chance of stopping Pacman, plus If TC did win It would be great for Arum... So assuming Haymon hasn't got his way over to Crawford yet.

He didn't say that-he just wants $10 mil. Sort of like how you posted if Manny beats Floyd he should only offer Floyd 70/30 for the rematch.

I think Manny is transitioning to his political life. I think win or lose he goes after the JMM 5th fight. I think he wins that.

Crawford will have made his way a little further up the ladder by then, making that fight viable. I think win or lose, that's it for Manny.

People care about Floyd's unbeaten record than he probably does at this point

He's about to retire soon

And if he loses, he can cushion the blow with 180 mil in one fight

That's incredible for a man who started with little

Don't get me wrong, he cares enough to give it his all come may 2nd but if he loses, he won't go into hiding or depression like foreman did.

And if he loses and wants the rematch, he would still be the bigger draw.
