    “He doesn’t want to fight us. He’s been running for two years now. What’s new?”.“It’s the biggest fight in the world,” Roach said of facing Mayweather. “It’s the biggest challenge for us. It’s the fight we want. But if he doesn’t want 50-50, there’s a lot of guys out there [for Pacquiao to fight]. So it’s not a problem. … We’ve got [Lamont] Peterson, [Timothy] Bradley, [Miguel] Cotto and [Marquez] all on the table right now, and Bob [Arum] is going to make the deal with one of those four.”

    “I don’t care, no way,” Roach said.

    “He’s scared. He doesn’t want to take a chance. He wants that zero so bad on his record, so that he can say he’s better than Sugar Ray Robinson and all these great fighters, because he’s never lost. Losing makes you a better fighter. He’s not better than those fighters and he never will be.”

    Arum and Pac have been the ones complicating negotiations up until recently, but if Floyd backs out because of 50-50, then the blame has to fall on him. Moving the goal-posts for blood-testing, taking a vacation, renting out the MGM and picking a date before negotiations even start, and then backing out on 50-50? It doesn't make him look good at all. Both sides are going to look like **** forever if they don't make this fight.

    Losing makes you a better fighter?

    It's official, event wins > actual wins

    From the broke coach roach himself

    Roach is delusional. His fighter still can't cope with movement and angles, he still has a subpar right hand, he's still a sucker for a straight right, and he proved all of this when he couldn't clearly beat Marquez who is a smaller, slower, less skilled counterpuncher than Mayweather. Pacquiao is the same fighter he's always been. He's looked unstoppable, except for against Marquez, because he's been feasting on favorable stylistic match-ups and shot and/or weight drained opponents. He is still the sloppy slugger that he always was and Money will embarrass him. Roach knows this. Arum knows this. Pac knows this. It is commonsense and THAT is why the fight will never come off.

    I agree. Musical Chairs tween him and arum, and as of right now, he's the one standing.

    We should have one of those max kellerman Face offs with Arum Pac and Floyd. So we can see what the hell is really going on.

    Roach is a professor of reverse psychology. He must have learned that from Arum the lawyer.
