Per the fingers & brains of fightnews.com...Freddie Roach is pushing hard to try & talk Pacquiao into the Oscar fight. He says that fighting Soto is ridiculous.
Now I know that everyone loves Roach...but he's a gotdam fool.
Beating Soto is one step closer to unifying the division.
Beating Oscar is just a payday & another name on the bill...it means nothing. Oscar has fallen the fwock off & he's bringing nothing but cash to the table.
Boxing fans of days long gone may want to see this fight...or even casual goers that have heard the Oscar tagline...but dedicated fight fans & Pac fans either do or should want the Soto fight to materialize.
Pacquiao could make & break the division.
After that he should just continue onwards where he is, unify, & then move up to the next class & try to work his magic there.
WTF is wrong with this trainers?
Roach is either wanting to earn some green or he's got himself an axe to grind with Golden Bwoy Promotions, Oscar, & the Hops.
I suppose that we shall all just have to see.
Personally...Pac could earn a lot more fans by making a stand in the right spot...especially at lightweight & beyond...provided he works it correctly.
Honestly...I'd be ready to jump on board the fan train...provided he fought with his head. He's a good fighter, he's exciting, & all that...he's just not necessarily the type of fighter I like to follow.
But as I said...I'd love to see him stand & deliver...to me that's more important than fighting an old horse who's going to be a HOF'er based on his better days long gone.
Feel me?
