Comments Thread For: Roach: If Thurman Goes After Pacquiao - He Will Get Cooked!

[Oregonian]

It wasn’t Pac, it was Arum. Crawford is getting the exact same treatment from Arum now. He will keep fighting bums until he gets old and past his prime. You think Pac would be able to fight Thurman if he’s still with Arum? If Pac beats Thurman and he plans to keep fighting and there’s no Mayweather rematch, he will fight Spence to unify the belts and he should retire after that win or lose.

You maybe right but all PAC fans say Floyd ducked him.
They blame Arum for everything except the Floyd fight.
I am not saying you are one and as much as I see your point, PAC could have said NO to Arum on certain fights at least.

PAC is not beating Thurman. He was at Spence vs Garcia fight and somehow found a way to weasel out of that.

The fight between Pac and Mayweather not happening years back was more of an “ego issue”. They were the 2 best boxers of their generation and they didn’t want to “give and take”. I believed Arum was equally responsible for that too because years after that, when these 2 great boxers met in a basketball game, they decided to talk and they both agreed to fight each other behind Arum’s back. Arum didn’t have any choice, with the amount of money involved, he would be ****** not to go with the flow. Pac vs Thurman is a 50-50 fight. Pac would use that as a gauge if he should fight Spence if there’s no Mayweather rematch.

Fair points.
But why talk about Floyd rematch?
Floyd beat PAC and would have beaten him in 2010 or 2011 especially when you factor in the fact that Marquez KO’d him in 2012.

Why is pac still crying for a rematch?
After getting beat he goes on to fight Mathysse and Broner - guys that are so irrelevant.

What a terrible gauge. Styles couldn’t be more different. Pacquiao is fighting thurman because his matchmaker, gibbons, knows *** all about boxing and like the masses, thinks thurman is ripe for the picking. Activity is an old fighters nightmare, waiting to fight a spence when one is even older is just..

Anyway, to the thread, Pacquiao needs to put in a masterclass. He should be focusing on outsmarting and outpointing thurman. He really doesn’t want to have a battle like he did vs cotto, he doesn’t have the endurance for those anymore. Forget about looking for a stoppage.

Mayweather didn’t go to the Philippines to see Pacquiao for nothing. After that, they met again in Japan, you think it’s just a coincidence? If Pac beats Thurman, there’s a big possibility of a rematch with Mayweather, no other fight out there would generate more money than a Mayweather vs Pac fight, even if the rematch doesn’t generate as much money as the 1st fight did.

Pacquiao made more money fighting Matthysse than Spence, Crawford and Thurman combined fighting one fight. He also won the WBA regular belt so it’s not irrelevant. He made a total of $20 million vs Broner and now he’s fighting for the WBA unification so it’s not irrelevant either.

He’s guaranteed to make at least $20 million against Thurman and if he beats Thurman, you could expect him to make at least $30 million in his next fight and at least 3 times as much if it’s the Mayweather rematch.

Who else could he use as a gauge if he would fight Spence next? Thurman has better resume than Crawford and Spence and he already beat Porter. He wouldn’t fight Crawford because he’s stuck with Arum fighting bums until he gets old (poor Crawford).

[noStylez]

No way Thurman goes after Pac, no one ever goes after Pac he may be old but he would still light any top welter up who presses forward.

To prove that he did win their first fight if not for the bias.
And the money.
