Comments Thread For: Roach: May-Pac II, Too Much Money To Walk Away

No thanks.

stop it man there were too many contradictions in the story... but no fighter ever fights 100%, pac man actually did okay in my book he just didnt have the tools to beat floyd, never has and never will... hes still great no need for excuses he signed the contract got n the ring and lost.... floyds footwork won him that fight ...

^^^ this basically.

If they want to fight again for money then fair play to them if people are willing to put their hands in their pockets. They aren't forcing anyone to buy it.

Just don't get mad and call it boring because it will play out exactly the same way again or even more one sided.

The next excuse would be that Pac was inactive for a year or something, and year out at that age is very bad yada yada etc. etc. you know the dance..

Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter, achieved a lot and is a true all time great, he just can't beat Floyd. It's just a stylistic nightmare for him. No shame in that, it is what it is.

easy work again.....i wouldn't blame floyd for robbing the bank again because ****** fans actually think poochiao is on floyd's level. the shoulder excuse was bs to help his f@990t fanbase sleep at night.

Manny isnt on floyds level. Manny would never duck fights. Manny always gives his man a rematch. Manny doesn't hold hug excessively and run around the ring like a fugitive from manhood. Floyd would never fight injured either. Though he claims he has. Manny could never be on that coward ass level...you're 100% right.

This nonsense will only matter if and when Floyd submits himself to VADA testing

Get floyd some of those special Ariza IVs ready, with a bag full of bribe money, and the fight is on.

Roach acting like Manny will not run for Senate for some reason.

Prime PAC would've probably killed Floyd, which is why he didn't fight him. This version of PAC will never beat this PED pumped up Floyd. PACs footwork is slower, and his work rate has plummeted with age. That's normal and to be expected.

I did not even want the meeting to happen this year. It was obvious it would be quite boring. PAC fighting Khan or Crawford is a much more exciting and better fight than Floyd. If Floyd stays retired that will be for the best.

Just like every Floyd hater, you exclude important facts. He tried to fight Pac 5 years ago when he was in his prime. He agreed to all of Pac's terms, including a 50/50 split. All he asked was for BOTH of them to undergo random blood testing. Pac ran from that and used excuses of being afraid taking blood from him because it would weaken him, and having a phobia needles even though he has tattoos. Those are all facts my friend.

Second he offered Pac 40 million dollars. While that was the most pac would ever make, I don't discredit him from turning that deal down because Floyd wanted all the pay per view revenue. That would not have been fair to Pac so I understand the decline of that proposition.

Third Floyd reached out to Pac again but Bob Arum got involved and came up with that lame stadium excuse, saying it wouldn't be completed until after Floyd got out of jail. Bob Arum knew Floyd wouldn't be able to make that date. Maybe he felt Pac wasn't ready or something.

The thing is Pac fought against an older and lesser version of Floyd and lost. Floyd was not at his peak in that fight and still Pac couldn't get the job done. Folks can blame the shoulder all they want, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the fight. Pac still would have gotten that L. So imagine if Pac fought Floyd at his peak? Pac didn't have the ring knowledge then that he has now so it would not been a good day for Pac. Those 3 situations were facts by the way my friend, not bias ignorance that most people post on here. You might want to know your facts next time you say Floyd avoided fighting a prime Pac.

Nah, Floyd never tried to fight PAC. PAC pursued and tried to force Floyd into fighting. Negotiations broke down, and Floyd REFUSED to renegotiate. Everyone who has been really following knows this.

This is vintage Floyd. He retires when he doesn't want to fight. Floyd didn't want to face prime PAC or prime Cotto. And for good reason. Prime PAC would've destroyed Floyd.

Floyd is over rated. No one will remember him, and not a single human will ever rewatch his fights.

Awww you still mad your boy couldn't pull the trigger? He couldn't beat a coward and runner so doesn't say much about the greatness of Pac does it? Oh yeah his shoulder made him lose right?

No my friend Floyd did try to fight Pac in the situations I mentioned. Negotiations broke down because Pac and his camp pursued Floyd after Floyd tried three different times and was turned down. You obviously just started watching boxing otherwise you would know about the three situations I mentioned in my previous post. All that happened and Floyd was turned down. So who was ducking who in those three situations I mentioned?
