    Floyd isn't fighting anymore, he's competing in Exhibition bouts for which he'll be lavishly paid, but let's all face facts Floyd isn't stepping in the ring with ANYONE who has a chance against him....that's a shame because there certainly ARE guys who I'd like to see him fight, but the issue will ALWAYS be "They don't draw like Floyd" and of course they don't/won't.


    Manny Pacquiao will be 40 years old by fight night....Adrien Broner is 29 and his career is already shot, we're not talking about him winning a title or defending a title, he's been beaten 3 times already, humiliated....he's not going to resurrect his career even if he can beat old man Pacqiao.


    I don't know why Floyd doesn't fight once a year just to make that money in the exhibition bouts like vs McGregor.....if he fights either Pac or Broner it's pretty much like the Senior Tour of boxing.


    Floyd doesn't want Terrence Crawford? Spence? Porter? Thurman? Garcia? Hurd? Charlo? Prograis?


    Floyd COULD go school Canelo again super easy and make gigantic fucking earth shattering history and win the middleweight titles....but he's not going to do it.



    I can't hate on Floyd for taking the easy money, but as a fan it's frustrating.

    Pac can make a statement by being the first to stop Broner as he is very durable as the Madina fight showed.

    Crazy how Pac left Arum to beg at a chance for another rematch against Floyd.

    This is the best chance Pac has to beat Floyd...Floyd is overweight and ideally needs a tune up before fighting Pac as he looked terrible against Conor.

    We know Floyd never really trained for Conor but all this time out from fighting proper professional boxers will be his wake up call..that’s how they will sell the fight if Pac beats Broner.

    I could never pay for the rematch because the first fight was one of the worst fights I’ve ever seen..147 needs a new GOAT and the current crop are missing something.

    They are missing fighting each other, hopefully that starts to change.

    Pacquiao won’t stop Broner. Broner is very durable and Pacquiao hasn’t stopped anybody in a long time other than Matthysse in his last fight.

    Unlike others, I think that Broner will have his moments. He is durable and is still quick with his hands. Pacquiao will be too much for him in the end though.

    Roach Surprised By Pacquiao's Announcement, May Not Work Broner Fight



    When Manny Pacquiao abruptly announced that he would be working with Freddie Roach for his upcoming fight with Adrien Broner, it took the boxing world by surprise—including Roach. Roach, the Hall of Fame trainer who transformed Pacquiao into one of the most fearsome fighters of this century, told SI.com he had no contact with Pacquiao or anyone with his team prior to the announcement and says he is undecided if he is willing to work with Pacquiao again.

    “The thing is, I still have never directly spoken to Manny [since Pacquiao lost to Jeff Horn in 2017],” Roach told SI.com. “I’m not going to make a move until Manny calls me. I’ve been like a father to Manny for 15 years. If he can’t call me, there will be no deal.”

    On Monday, at a press conference to promote Pacquiao’s defense of a secondary welterweight title against Broner, Pacquiao told reporters that Roach would return to his team in a supervisory role.

    For his last fight, a knockout win over Lucas Matthysse, Pacquiao was trained by his longtime friend and assistant trainer, Buboy Fernandez.

    “Me and Freddie, we have a good relationship since 2001,” Pacquiao said. “We don’t have problems in terms of training, sharing our knowledge about strategy, techniques in training. We don’t have problems with that.”

    In addressing why Roach would not be his head trainer, Pacquiao cited Roach’s health.

    “Buboy and Freddie, they’re a team,” Pacquiao said. “Buboy is always there. He has experience, many fights with Freddie. So I think Freddie can instruct Buboy to do something like that. Because, you know, Freddie’s not young anymore and I’m, you know, I feel pitiful with Freddie. I’m praying for him, for the healing of his sickness. My plan, my thinking is he can use Buboy to do mitts in training, supervise and watch the training, like that.”

    Roach, 58, has battled Parkinson’s disease since he was 27. Roach, though, rarely misses a day of training in his Wild Card gym in Hollywood, Calif., and travels the country regularly to work with young fighters. Roach was in Boston last weekend, working the corner for light heavyweight Israel Duffus in a club show. He was also recently added to Tyson Fury’s corner for Fury’s anticipated showdown with heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder.

    On Monday, Roach received a call from Joe Ramos, the COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions. Ramos, Roach said, broached the idea of returning to Pacquaio’s team.

    Roach ended the call, quickly.

    “I’m not talking to Joe Ramos,” Roach told SI.com. “Joe Ramos knows nothing about boxing. I thought Joe was the coach of [Pacquiao’s] basketball team. I don’t want to talk to Joe Ramos. I want to talk to Manny.”

    While Roach is frustrated by Pacquiao’s declaration that the two would be working together again—as well as Pacquiao’s refusal to speak to him for well over a year—he says he is open to working something out.

    “I’d have to hear what the details are,” Roach said. “You never know who it is coming from when you hear from his camp. I’d have to hear what he wants me to do, what he wants Buboy to do. Am I supposed to train him? Am I supposed to come up with the game plan? He has to tell me, or I won’t be there.”

    I don't know if it's just me, but I have never gone from such an extreme of liking a guy to the completely opposite end of the spectrum of disliking someone as I have with Pacquiao.
    Years ago, I used to think he was such a lovely humble guy , to modern day where now I think he's a complete Cock, to the extent that I really don't have a problem if Broner beats him .

    Edit.
    Scrap that last sentence......... https://www.boxingscene.com/broner-g...shakin--133924
    just read this, Fair play, Broner is such an ignorant twat , he just doesn't know where to stop . I have to admit, and please don't judge me (you can if you want.) that the first time I read it , I shamefully pissed myself!

    Primo, your love/hate of Golovkin is a close second.

    Broner looks aged in that side by side pic. Not sure if it's the scraggly beard, skin tone or what but he don't look right.

    Mate, GGG is a saint compared to these 2 knobheads!
    I’m not a hater of GGG. I like him a lot. But I’m just disappointed with some career decisions he’s made , and now it’s too late to do anything about it.

    I never like Pacquiao. At first it was because he kept beating fighters I liked or getting gift decisions. After that it was because his BS excuses for everything. He was a complete diva but because it was always a Manny vs Floyd thing going on, they had to portray Manny as the humble guy who made no excuses because we already had a diva in Floyd.

    Basically nothing has changed for me. He said that he wants to show the division that he is still there. The problem is that he is still a draw and could fight any fighter he wanted. That means that he could call out anybody and they would fight him. He is still a good fighter but he knows that he can’t beat the top dogs at welter.

    I lost a lot of respect for Manny as he supported what the phillipinos are doing human right wise. Drugs are terrible, a scourge but giving the population the ability to kill suspected users/dealers is insane
