Roach continues his trend
This guy won't stop with his prejudice and lies. I'm sure you remember his rant in the Rios gym, well now he is saying " Philippinos vs Blacks don't sell as well as Phillipinos vs Mexicans" so let's look at the numbers.(I'll even slant them by taking out the Mayweather fight which would make it wildly towards black fighters so giving him a big advantage) Keep in mind that he has admitted he doesn't want a Crawford fight before because it is a fight he thinks Manny could be hurt in. So his motivation is purely to avoid Crawford with a lie
Clottey 700,000
Mosley 1,340,000
Bradley 890,000
Bradley 800,000
Bradley 400,000
Mexican
---------
Morales 350,000
Morales II 360,000
Larios 120,000
Morales III 350,000
Solis 150,000
Barrera II 350,000
Marquez II 400,000
Diaz 206,000
De La Hoya 1,250,000
Margarito 1,150,000
Marquez III 1,400,000
Marquez IV 1,150,000
Rios 475,000
Vargas 300,000
So even slanting the numbers by taking out Mayweather it is still
Black 826,000 per
Mexican 572,214 per
But I'm sure people will eat the lie up because I've watched this man lie and lie and lie without people calling him on it.
Re: Roach continues his trend
Roach knows Manny is on a retirement tour and he will avoid any risky fight necessary so that he can collect his salary. Do not take everything he says so seriously.
Re: Roach continues his trend
Sorry man but prejudice and lies are both unacceptable. If he said "we don't want to fight Crawford" I'd be fine with it. We know Manny is basically retired. But when you justify it with BS you should be called on it. And after years and years of lies and prejudice from Roach I have no tolerance for it.

He has generally avoided the riskiest fights

Manny has generally fought Top Rank and Arum fighters. At one stage he was the 2nd best welterweight in the world.

Roach has made excuses for manny for years. I agree that he has fought some good competition throughout the years, but just like most fighters, he cherry picked those fighters. He picked fighters that had big names but knew his style matched up well against.

That is the point of a good coach.
At his best Manny fought the best. He was an irresistible force.
Re: Roach continues his trend
Freddie roach is the most underrated cherry picker in the world.
Roll on clottey 2.
Putting aside his illness, it feels me with joy that he will never get the rematch with Floyd and there was only one true winner..even if the fight was terrible.
Trainer of the year...Derrick James.

True but although I thought he lost all of the fights he got the decision on most of them. Still shows that he fought fighters that presented problems for him.
Re: Roach continues his trend
It's time to let Pac walk off into the sunset and hand the torch over to Crawford.
They are milking him for a few more fights as Freddie is soooooo desperate for a knockout.

You seem prejudiced against Freddie Roach.
