Comments Thread For: Roach: I Hope Mayweather 'Shows Up' To Fight on 5/2

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has a theory on why the usually verbose Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been subdued during the build-up to Saturday's hotly anticipated welterweight bout at the MGM Grand.

Roach wonders if Mayweather will mentally show up on fight night.

"I am wondering if he (Mayweather) is going to show up, I really do," the bespectacled Roach told reporters with a smile before the two boxers held their final pre-fight media conference on Wednesday.

"His speech is very subdued and low-key. I don't think any fighter is afraid but I think he (Mayweather) was forced into a fight he didn't want to take. He didn't get to pick this opponent like he usually does." [Click Here To Read More]

Mayweather is going to box. He will not be brawling.

Sounds to me roach is simply hoping these things to be true. I mean why else would a person even truly believe this drivel. He would be better off shutting up and letting his fighter do the talking in the ring on Saturday. Because either he's extremely nervous and can't stop talking or he's really just lost the plot on this one.

Mayweather fights anyone else but Pacquiao - he's scared

Mayweather fights Pacquiao - he was forced

With all this anger built inside, he's going to beat the living sht out of Manny.

If you think May really wants to fight Manny and wasn't forced by his boss to face Manny? Then you are a fan of him. Only blind fans won't recognized and realized the truth about what Freddie had said.

I think if Floyd feels like he can take MAnny punch and timing down...I think he will go for the KO.....I think Floyd is gonna "try" to make a statement

You know who is truly nervous as the fight getting closer? The fighter that choke up and almost in tears while giving his speech and acted like a well behaved sheep during their final press conference. That's who.
