Freddie Roach: We Took Clottey Because We're Still After Mayweather

very puzzling

 

It's a strange situation, you've got Pacquiao's trainer who comes across as obsessed with him training some who can beat Mayweather since the De La Hoya fight and they you've got Pacquiao's promoter who comes across as not wanting the fight to happen.

But yes, if you want Mayweather in there that bad then take the tests and make it happen, I don't see Floyd backing down if he beats Mosley as he will be in a stronger negotiating position than last time.

 

regardless of what Roach says, Pac is in a mother****ing fight tonight. Clottey can pull the upset. I think Pac knows this is a possibility and is focused on the fight. At the same time, I don't think Pac cares about fighting Floyd or anyone else for that matter as much as Roach does. Pac could probably lose to Clottey, win the election, and retire from boxing and I'm pretty sure he'd be ok with that.

 

Pacquiao should hire you as a spokesman and translator cause you do a helluva job of public relations for him.

 

I just speak my mind man. and I am not a filipino

 

:rofl:rofl

 

this is a smart move, he is just being roach. if they want to fight mayweather then the fight will always happena t 147.

they couldnt fight bradley because it will make pacquiao weaker going from 145 to 140 and then to 147 fighting mayweather. by fighting clottey they have trained him as a welter and he is getting more body weight on in each fight (look at his weigh in and ring weight)

this time he was 145 3/4

if the mayweather fight happens next he will be at around 146 1/2 or maybe even higher. giving himself a better chance to be at a perfect weight for mayweather

thats what i think anyway

 

they need to get arum out of the way and the fight will happen. I think arum's hatred for floyd was the main issue the first time around. The old man needs to step down for this one.

 

Pacquiao agreed to take the tests, just not 14 days before the fight. I don't know why people keep insisting that he completely denied to take the damn tests.

 

I love how you show video of Team Pac and then people call you a "hater" for calling them on the conflicting crap THEY said in the video!

 

No. He agreed to take Olympic style drug testing up until the fight. Then he backed out of testing giving random cut off dates 30 and 24. He used these random dates to end negotiations.

Why are the dates random? First it was 30 and he was CAUGHT on 24/7 giving blood at 24 days so he went down to 24. FMJ asked for 14. Team Pac lied and said 14 was never offered. They then later admitted that 14 was offered, but said 24 was the reason they walked. OK, but if 24 is the smallest acceptable cut off, Pac has now been exposed again giving blood at 20 days! Roach even said he trained 9 rounds of sparring after! This doesn't add up.

Something is fishy! Their words don't match their actions or the facts. Why can't you admit that?

 

Honestly if you want to find the where the problem began you have to look at the "root".....Manny didn't request all out of the blue, olympic style testing. That was Floyd...which was ultimately the cause for the fight not happening. Had Floyd conducted "business as usual", like he has for 40 of his previous opponent....March 13th would look much differently.
Floyd was the one who ultimately placed the "nail in the coffin" when he started on with the unfounded and unjust accusations about manny being on PED's.

 

Get your facts straight, plus why should it matter if he's going to test right after the fight?

 

lol I've noticed that Philla interprets everything that Roach and Manny do in a favorable light, it's almost masterful how he does it.
