Comments Thread For: Roach Warns That He May Ask Pacquiao To Retire

[Hougigo]

Saw them too. I like Freddie but his condition is too severe.



He just can't do it right now. Even with Cotto (I like Cotto but his ******s make me want to root for Canelo) it's not looking good.

Heard Miguel is already giving some time with Marvin... so maybe he's shifting some responsibilities over....that was hard to watch though.

It really was. Marvin is capable IMO with Roach giving advice, but he's in bad shape.

If Pacquiao wants to fight and move on, there's Buboy anyway Roach should also retire he has made a lot of money from Manny.

I wont trust Buboy carrying a cup of water.

My father has Parkinsons, Roach really does worry me. His condition is bad, Marvin should take over IMO.



Freddie can give advice, but Marvin should run Wild Card

Yeah I know what you mean, he's in baad shape. But ultimately the fighters can choose other trainers if they feel Roach is not capable of training them. I assume they find he is able to help them, after all they are agreeing to pay him in exchange for his time.

YEah man it was hard to watch, Roach should have retired already but he doesn't want anyone else to train MAnny, this is how selfish he is, so he is advising Manny to retire now? yeah because he knows he isn't in the best health, but rather have Manny retire than someone else train him.

Roach if you were a true man of your word, You said this like 2 years ago that you would tell Pac to retire if you saw him struggling in camp, you saw Pac struggling in sparring for the Mayweather fight, and aggravated his shoulder and didn't call the fight off, why? because you wanted that 10 million dollars you were scheduled to earn for the Floyd fight.

You are going to tell him to retire now only because you got the big money payday you wanted and you know Pac is already shot to pieces even leading into the Floyd fight, and your lame strategy is what ruined the fight you scared Pac telling him no Manny becareful Floyd is going to wear SMALL gloves that means he is trying to set a trap and lure you into a knock out like Marquez!

Roach is the most paranoid over thinking trainer, Pac listens to everything he says and should have got rid of him years ago.

Roach has no use for Manny anymore, but Manny is aloof and doesnt care he has no stress because of his naivety and ignorance to the world.

If I were Manny for my last 3 fights on my contract I would ditch Roach and go back to Michael Moorer or hire John David Jackson. Roach never tried to make Manny better he just road the Pac train for the $$$

Manny-Freddie is so much more than a trainer-fighter relationship, Freddie is like a father figure and friend to Manny and vice versa. Even if he could no longer work the mitts with Pacquiao, I think Pacquiao would just work with one of the assistant trainers rather than leave his friend and mentor. I can't see Freddie leaving the game completely, he will likely take on different roles and still work the corner.

Manny is like a father figure to Roach. That's a new one. Maybe he should try being that to his..............well, we all know where I'm going with this so I'll just stop.

You mean Manny should be a father to his own kids like Mayweather is to his?

Are you subliminally telling Manny to beat his wife in front of his kids?

Roach doesn't believe, he doesn't believe in the supernatural healing powers of salt water.
