If F.Roach is a great match maker then why didnt......

[Teetotaler]

.......he have Pacquiao fight Martinez instead of Cotto? I mean seriously. A freaking 9 division world champ!? Let alone since he skipped 135 was it?

Why did roach give it to cotto instead of pacquiao?

[RomanReigns]

That was a terrible fight. Martinez was injured. Cotto cannot beat a healthy fighter. only phakkits celebrated winning a paper belt against an injured opponent. This is much worst than the Margarito fight.

Arum had already promised Bradley a fight with Manny.

And you're forgetting that people didn't want to fight Martinez. Cotto only wanted the fight after Martinez was done and was walking on one leg.

Pacquiao is too small.

[RomanReigns]

Pacquiao is too small.

And he would have been pressured to fight Canelo and GGG if he defeated an injured Martinez.

[Mr. Objectivity]

Never heard someone saying roach was a great promoter. LOL.

[Ray*]

Roach is not a matchmaker, he might have an input into who Pac fights but everything stops with Arum. Moreover Martinez wasn't a fighter people were willing to fight back in those days.

youre assuming roach knew how bad the knee surgeries went?

the martinez that showed up would have literally lost to anyone... he could barley walk and it was the biggest joke of a title fight ive ever seen footage of

a healthy martinez would have killed pacquaio

Absoulete mismatch
Manny would have destroyed Martinez, easy work. Timothy Bradley was the harder option, even if he got less recognition for it

Martinez had no skill, look howthe much smaller Cotto fked him up and look what Pacquiao did to Cotto. Pacquiao fked him up.

Martinez knees were damaged. He was wearing some brace when he fought Cotto. When he was healthy he was the best Middleweight in the World.
