    Maybe you are correct that the interview was taken yesterday but not the date or time when Shane came to Roach to ask for a fight with Pac which obviously was way ahead of the interview so don't laugh like an idiot! :patsch

    One doesn't duck the loser (Mosley) and cherry pick the winner (Cotto) unless one is an idiot!:yep

    repeat:

    If for any reason Mosley wins, Manny would definitely fight him. We’ll take that fight.

    It's very simple. He means it in the context that up to this point, Shane's been too good a fight for not enough money.

    I don't think Pac at 50 odd fights gives a **** who he fights as long as the right coin is there and Sugar Shane is the most high-risk, low-reward opponent out there.

    When Shane beats PBF, he and Pac wil meet and it will be huge because everyone will be calling for it, but as noted, previously up to this point it hasn't had any traction to sell topline PPV's.

    It's simple ****ing logic!

    If Pac, of all fighters, is a cherry picker then this entire sport is a joke.

    So basically he's saying the same thing Mayweather has said, "He's not a PPV attraction". The double standard Mayweather gets killed for, right?

    The same standard when he Mayweather says he wants the "if it don't make money it don't make sense."

    Pretty much. If MAB x2, EM x3, JMM x2, Larios, Hatton, Cotto and Clottey is cherry picking then this sport is f@cked up beyond repair.


    Honestly people, you guys are misunderstanding the comment.

    Roach tried his best to get Void to fight Pac after Pac knocked Hatton out. Void, Sr. said that he did not want Void, Jr. to fight Pac.

    funny how pacquiao made marquez move up 2 division recently. if you label mayweather a cherry picker then you have to label pacquiao one aswell. he fought a shot a morales coming off 2 losses, fought mosley who hadnt won a fight since 2009, he also ducked mosley in 09 when mosley was the best welterweight, not cotto. pacquiao cherry picks a shot cotto. who freddie roach said " the margarito fight took alot out of cotto and cotto has looked good since". even roach admits they cherry picked cotto.
