Pacquiao has Signed (according to Roach)!

[JazMerkin]

Well, here is proof that once again Roach is talking shit.

Mayweather-Pacquiao: Texas KO'd; Vegas Leads To Host - Boxing News

The key part is:

Arum also denies online reports that Pacquiao has already signed a contract for the fight.

"I didn't even bring a contract. We just went over everything verbally and Manny gave his approval to the major points"

So once again Freddie Roach is lying out of his ass. Everyone's been going on about what the Mayweathers say, but this is about the 5th time he's said something false in the past week.

I would challenge you to prove one instance where Roach told a lie. On the other hand there are a number of instances where Arum has admitted to lying. One could speculate that Roach slipped up and gave details about the contract where he shouldn't have due to the gag agreement.

There's one in that post

How about the 'Mayweather wants the fight at 154 & with 10oz gloves' thing, only for it to be announced that it was at 147 with 8oz gloves.

I know you treat his word as gospel, but just skim through boxingscene articles for the past fortnight related to the fight to see who's been saying what, only for it to be undermined when the actual facts come out.

I think Bob Arum is a piece of shit, but he'd miss no opportunity to try & show up Mayweather, if Floyd was making stupid demands. The fact he's not doing that says it all.

As for the bolded part, one COULD speculate that there is some gag order & Roach is accidentally slipping up & violating it, but that would be a breach of contract & would land him & Top Rank in serious shit. The more likely scenario is he's just saying whatever comes to his head to appear as if he's in the loop or to just stir up shit.
