    "If Pacman Beats Hatton on may 2nd, roach would rather go with another fight. He feels Mayweather is a boring fighter"

    "I dint want to fight Mayweather because he's a boring fight. We need the best fighters fighting each other because of other sports competing with us"

    "If we win I don't have a lot of interest in fighting Mayweather. Even if you beat him you look bad doing it. Mayweather is very skilled. I don't like his style - He's a runner but is a great boxers"

    Roach is contradicting himself here. I've seen him say a bunch of times that the #1 fight they wanted was Mayweather.

    yeah its obviously a mental warfare tactic.... roach isnt stupid.. and in this quote he just sounds flat out stupid

    "Even if you beat him you look bad doing it."

    cmon man... how can you even say some dumb **** like that when floyd's never even lost...

    he just trying to get floyd in the ring... imo @least

    Exactly my thoughts. Everyone knows Mayweather is the big prize.

    roach is just trying to stir up ****. he also did this before the odlh fight. i mean blemishing pbf's immaculate record is the best trophy there is out there. who wouldn't want to get the chance to do it? a chance to shut pbf up. i think roach wets himself at night when thinking about a pac pbf match

    He's a clever little Roach. We all know he and Pac both want Mayweather and this is just a tactic to chase him into the ring.

    The people of the Phillipines obviously want the PBF/Pac fight and Roach thinks this is the best way to make it happen

    Source? I doubt Roach said this since he and Pac have mentioned many times before that they want Mayweather if they beat Hatton May 2.
