Comments Thread For: Roach Very Confident That Pacquiao Would Beat Lomachenko

[NickyB]

Roach don't even have the confidence "I think i have the better guy" he's just looking for a last good payday.

Well, let's be honest, Manny will probably fight Crawford or Lomachenko later this year. Lomachenko makes more sense if the promoter is trying to build a star, and it's a more winnable fight for Manny's team. I don't think Roach is wrong for thinking this either. He talks a lot of *****, but I think he's genuine here. And he has reason to be confident all things considered.

they already said they don't want pac fighting Crawford. pac has already turned down the rematch with horn. pac should not try to fight little loma but there are more credible fights out there for him. I would rather he fought broner than loma.

thanks roach. im putting every dollar i have on loma now

Hang em up Champ, your best days are behind you...

Call it a career after you April fight... Go out with a W.

[Tatabanya]

If I had to put my last dollar on Manny's ability of pulling out a "swan song" win, I'd place it on him beating Crawford, not Lomachenko.

I wouldn't mind if this was at 140 or 147. Pac is a big boy.

Loma vs Linares in late April or early May. Beltran vs Salido at 135 on the undercard.

Loma vs Beltran/Salido winner in late July, or August.

Loma vs Pacquiao in November at 135 or a catch weight.

Loma/Pacquiao winner vs Mikey Garcia spring 2019 at 135, although with Mikey walking around at 170+ pounds, and Loma naturally being 35 - 40 pounds smaller than that, Loma's team might be smart to require a rehydration clause for that fight, same as they agreed to vs Rigondeaux, despite there being much less of a size difference between Loma and Rigo than there is between Loma and Mikey (and Loma and Linares, in fact).

Make it happen please Top Rank. And I hope we don't hear anyone peep of any bull**** about Loma-Linares having trouble finding a date that is 100% perfect for GBP. Life is not perfect. I hope they stop p*ssyfooting around over 14 days different, or double programming (which happens all the time anyway), or any of that bull****. This is Linares we're talking about. This isn't Tupac coming back from the dead to perform one final concert or something. It doesn't all have to be laid out perfectly to everyone's exact wishes. Find the best date that will work, even if everything isn't 100% ideal, and then make the fight while people are talking about it, while it's hot, and while both guys are coming off wins and looking fast and healthy and exciting.

GBP is going to be raking in 2 million PPV sales on May 5th, and another record gate. Stop being so ****ing spoiled, and so ****ing picky, over a boxer in Linares you don't even lead promote, and who isn't generating even 5% of that money for you. Make the damn fight with Loma, because if Loma keeps getting good fighters to fight him, and if he keeps winning, then maybe one day soon HE can actually generate a good percentage of what Canelo does, and then maybe ANOTHER one of your fighter's, GBP, who you DO really actually promote,
will be able to fight him and rake in good money for you. So don't be so shortsighted! JoJo Diaz is just one possibility down the line. MAKE LOMA-LINARES ALREADY PLEASE!!!

Please take out Pacquiao from PH senate he's a nuisance and annoying.

[skinnystev]

why do pacroid and freddie constantly call out fighters from lower weight class pacroid needs to move up to 154 and fight charlo he already holds a belt at 154 what's the problem instead he calls out a featherweight

[HURTFEELINGS]

Fans dont EVER believe their favorite fighters get old
