Comments Thread For: Pacquiao I Have Not Made My Final Decision on Freddie Roach

[Holler]

If I were Freddie I would make the decision for him. There doesn't seem to be any respect there. Given his contribution he deserves better.

[travestyny]

Bull****.

He just doesn't want bad press for ****ing Roach off without telling him. So now he'll tell him during the week that he's no longer his trainer and make it look like he was still deciding.

Exactly what I thought. This reeks of damage control.

JM Marquez unloads a ferocious right hand and The Pac-man is snoring with his face planted on to the canvas..

Buboy is the first to get there and he is yelling at the doctors and everyone else rushing in to back off.

"Don't touch my best friend!" he yells. "I know what happened to him!"

He puts his hand underneath him and slowly turns him over. Then Pacquiao opens his eyes and utters his first words …

"Where's Buboy?"

"I am here, brud."

"What happened?"

"It's done," he says, and then he smiles: "Many people watching you!"

Buboy was telling his best friend to lose with dignity because the world is watching. Now that's a friend.

Back in the dressing-room, Buboy is standing in the corner and he is crying.

"Are you okay?" Pacquiao asks him. "Why are you crying?"

Before the sixth, Buboy had warned about coming inside, about coming in too close.

"I told you, 'Don't go inside! Don't go inside!'"

Pacquiao has collected many people throughout his career. He's kept some, discarded others along the way, but the one constant has been his lifelong friend. Short and fat, Buboy, Filipino Barney Rubble with kind eyes and a gentle nature.

Look at the tape and see who rushes towards Manny!

Beautiful post.

This is what a romance novel must be like.

Roach may have made Pacquiao into the monster that took the sport by storm way back when, but he's surely little more than a career parasite now. He was about as much use as **** on a boar when Manny was getting bullied by Horn in Brisbane.

we dont know what's really going on behind close doors. if pac chooses to leave roach, obviously he has a good reason why. we only see what they put on camera, we dont know the other half! roach has been slipping for years now. dont act like roach is still in tip top form as a trainer. his fighters been losing, etc.

I agree. These guys don't talk on a regular basis, and there is a reason for that. Jus because Roach has been his trainer doesnt mean Manny has agreed with all his training methods (to me Roach isnt a technical wizard), tactical approaches to each fight or even the way he exposes things to the media.

I'm pretty sure Manny hated the,"I think Mayweather won" comment, when Manny TOTALLY disagreed!.....Mannys older now, he cannot train like he use to. Roach "may" not be the right fit for him now. Manny, I don't think needs Roach necessarily at this stage of his career. If they get back together: cool.

Manny- nobody cares anymore... Just retire...

[Boxing Goat]

Something is going on with Roach (maybe health issues?)...He was barely giving Manny any instructions in the Horn fight.

Because he was handling Horn just fine and won 8-4 but got screwed.

If Road did anything wrong, it's speaking to the media to much and not speaking to the ref enough.

Pacquiao is an ESPN fighter now... nobody cares...
He shouod retire.
A Juan Manuel Marquez Return wourl be bigger.
Hahaha the counter puncher always has the last laugh...

Pac is past his prime but you saw what happened when he refused to be on the Horn vs Crawford ppv fight, they rescheduled it because they couldn’t sell a ppv without Pac on it which means Pac is still a bigger draw than most of this top welterweight fighters right now. Another fight with Marquez should make more money than any welterweight fights right now.
