Comments Thread For: Roach Wanted Delay: Healthy Pacquiao Beats Mayweather

[Bronx2245]

No I'm here taking my lumps.

You're still a MAN! The question is, what should Manny do about this? Obviously he is not well-managed, and he's not making the kind of money Floyd is making with Showtime, so who should be fired? Also, if Freddie was against it, who was for it? Roach saying that Floyd gets shot for his hands means nothing? Did Floyd ask NSAC for permission to get shots only minutes away from the fight, or did the NSAC already know Floyd had hand problems? What was Team Pacquiao and Top Rank risking by alerting NSAC, and the world, that Manny suffered a shoulder injury? One last thing, why was Roach so vocal for weeks in the pre-fight, if he knew he had a mole in his camp? He (Roach) deserves to be fired too!

Ideally,they should have postponed, but Pac probably thought he could still beat Floyd. That's where the issue and confusion lied.

But its funny Pac said Floyd wasn't so good, a lot of people are saying that. Maidana said it. Whilst after the fight people were saying how good Floyd was defensively and how he is the best of this generation from beating a one armed fighter.

Look forward to the rematch. Thank you Floyd to see you for the 50th fight.

Idk when Maidana said that, maybe sour g****s after the losses? Right before May/Pac he was singin a different tune.

"Defensively he is a master"
"He is a star, I dont think he's better than them [Ali, SRR] but he's amongst the greatest"

EDIT: If Pac genuinely thought he could beat Floyd injured he was delusional. Heck, if he was sure he'd beat Floyd without an injury that would also be delusional. But it wouldn't be as insulting to me as if he was going into the ring thinking "I'm gonna lose with this injury and all, but here comes a payday." I can only hope that wasn't his thought process.

This coming from a Mayweather fan; I DO NOT BLAME THE PACMAN AT ALL; i blame is team., they are morons on the highest level all of them ugh. They are killing Pac's image with this BS. Please stop and let Pacs next fight to the talking for him, ya'll dummy are making it worse. ******, at the post fight, you can haer MK tell Pac to lie about the form, dude you're not even smart enough to turn off your mic. Pac fire thses fools and get back in the ring please, I still want to see you fight...just not Floyd thats over with.

I blame Pacquiao. He's a grown man capable of controlling his own image.

[Sup]

Yall still making excuse time to find a new hope

I dont see how the shoulder would make a difference. Maybe a closer fight but Floyd would have adjusted to the difference. It simply comes down to styles and adjusting. And if they rematch, being off a year means that Pac would age a year and maybe Floyd would lose a step and who is to say the public would buy it or the networks would go through that again or the fighters would agree on a purse split. The PPV would sink well below the target. Just does not seem like there would be enough demand and Mayweather even though he said he would fight Pac in a year may not want to fight past september. I think the whole rematch thing will die on the vine.

give the Pac fans some hope and life..

In my opinion, rematch still sells.. but now pac should get that "40million" flat rate.. if this injury thing is valid.. he hosed his nation, his fans.. and everyone.. his game plan was whack, his volume punching was whack, although I have to say Money did move quite a bit.. but that's why I thought pac had the best chance.. really thought he was gonna corner him with faints and footwork..

my apologies to the floydies.. you guys have a great defensive fighter.. still don't think TBE doe! lol..

Everyone knows that he's not TBE, but what do you think the response was for Ali, when he said he was "The Greatest," after the Liston fight? No one likes hearing an athlete claim to be TBE while they're still competing! Manny has to earn a rematch, and I say he should fight Crawford @ 140, or beat Khan @ 147, and then he can demand a rematch. He got the fight coming off a win against Algeri, and THAT **** CAN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE! Last but not least, there's no way anyone should be asked to pay $100 dollars for a PPV...EVER!!!

Wow Floyd beat a one -armed fighter only 7-5



Lmao

stop being silly, Pac did not win 5 rounds in that fight, no matter how much you adore him lol

117-111, at best

[MindBat]

Somehow God knew it was going to be this messy.

Not 1 person, not one time from Mannys team has giving Floyd 1 damn but of credit.just ****ing excuses

This isn't a surprise. Look how much **** they talked for the past 5 years. Did you think an embarrassing loss would suddenly bring out the humility in Team Pac? Manny himself was delusional enough to claim he WON the fight, ffs. Bet money he'd state something along the lines of, "It was God's will for me to lose", than actually give Floyd credit for schooling him.

If not the shoulder, it would've been leg cramps, too much blood testing, Floyd ran, ring was too big, "if he would've stayed, I would've thrown more punches", Beyonce's cleavage was distracting me, etc. Nothing but excuses from Pac was to be expected.
