Roach rips Floyds performance

[fan johnny]

Forget it, you will never have 1.6 millions ppv, it is just mere propaganda to foster the interest in a future match with Floyd, even the ressort where the fight happened was around 80% Pro-Marquez; They had to postponed the fight to the mexican celebration because there was not enough tickets sold or ppv sold, it is very unlikely that all of a sudden within a month, these amounts would have doubled.
I am not really a Pacquiao fan but seriously, you can't even compare one second the drag-in that Pacman drags compared to Mayweather, we will have the answer soon but this 1.6 million number comes from Kevin Iole from Yahoo and as far as I'Ve read it, nobody else is backing up such amount yet and most of the specialists are expecting between 300 to 500k maximum

I actually think the PPV watch is having a negative affect right now......

I disagree with Roach's perspective. It's not weather or not Pacquiao needs Mayweather or Mayweather needs Pacquiao. Certainly if they don't face each other it's a missed opportunity for both of them to make money, but I see it as boxing can use them both. For boxing to have intrigue, it needs the good, the bad but not the ugly.

So why not the ugly, because ugly is a turn off.

I honestly don't think Roach wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather, he knows what will happen.

cotto will be pacs last opponent then thats it. he will run for congress here in manila. i doubt if pac will fight again after cotto win or lose.

Roach is funny on this one....floyd in his first fight after two years didn't Ko marquez, but no one will question who actually "beat" marquez. I for one say scoreboard and manny won case closed. I just think that was a silly point for him to bring up when he whoooped marquez in the first six rounds more than pac did in two fights. Floyd like the kitch's can be boring if you watch boxing with mma type expections for results, but as far as actual boxing which this sport is watching the chess matches are just as fun as the Ko's. Not klitch's or floyds fault for the lack of the ability of thier opponets to make these guys work in the ring. What's easier to grab a bag of cash just laying on the ground or a bag of cash surrounded by opponets punches. All these guys at this level now-a-days are taking the easiest fight for the biggest payday.....but only some get flack for it. Legacy don't pay bills, i don't blame em.

Pacquiao and Roach better focus their energy and attention on Cotto or there won't even be a prospective Mayweather fight to talk about.

Trainers, even those of Roach's calibre, who persist in talking shit about fighters piss me off to no end. Just shut your fucking mouth, do your job, and let your fighter take care of business. I know that sometimes it's gamesmanship, but when you do it as often as guys like Freddy Roach or Jack Loew it's just being an asshole.

Roach saying this and overlooking Cotto, makes me want to root for Cotto.

[Spicoli]

Its wreckless for Roach and Manny to focus elsewhere,and pretty disrespectful to Cotto.I honestly am thinking Mayweather/Pacquiao fight will die on the vine over the numbers if Cotto does not make it all null and void first.

Great post, Roach has been pissing me off lately, especially the way everyone seems to think the sun shines out of his arse.

I honestly think Roach gets the pity vote when it comes to the shit talk he gets away with - Because he looks like a frail, old(ish) man with Parkinsons it seems that he gets away with the trash talk.

Sorry, but he's coming across as an arsehole. Wasn't it the other day he said his Cuban prospect could take out Marquez now if he wanted to?

Well, your main charge the Pacman, couldn't take out Marquez so what would it say about him if your prospect could? Stop talkin shit

[sumkalambay]

man roach's been talking a lot lately.

I agree with you, I don't think this fight ever happens and they will use money and weight to discard it. if you listen to Roach he's already setting it up so it never happens. He says ho hum to Floyds win and he blew it in negotiations by not knocking out Marquez. If Manny wins against Cotto and becomes a welter champ I don't see how they could use weight as an issue though.
