    Roach has talked about him wanting to take Khan to WW to face Mayweather. Mayweather and Pacquaio should be fighting in November, it might not happen but it should do. So if Roach thinks Manny will beat Mayweather would he not want the bigger fight, which would be against the winner. But hes said that won't happen and they want Mayweather for Khan.

    Is Roach admitting he thinks Manny probably won't win? I mean it could be he thinks Manny-Mayweather won't happen, but he said its happening. It could be Manny and Amir are friends but this is a business with millions to be made

    I think this could be Pacquiao's last fight win or lose so the obvious choice even if he does lose will be Mayweather.

    I do believe this fight is in the works down the line, in the next 2-3 fights for both men....

    If they both win their next fights(maybe 2)....Khan-Mayweather could happen....

    I bet GBP talked about this behind the scenes, right after khan signed the promotional contract...

    Roach knows Manny will lose but still knows Khan needs a few years before he can fight Mayweather.Meanwhile to give Khan exposure he has to start talking about Mayweather because anyone who mentions Mayweather will be quoted by the press.He doesnt really have confidence with Pacquiao

    or perhaps it could mean Roach is securing 2 big fights for his fighters. If Mayweather loses to Pacquiao does that mean no one wants to fight PBF anymore because he brings nothing to the table? Of course not, 2 big fights lined up Pacquiao then Khan = big money for Roach.

    fmj been saying how its his ambition to fight in England for ages thats why he was negotiating with Matthew Hatton....

    I could definitely see this happening in Wembley Stadium
    I can also see Amir Khan getting a humiliating schooling!!

    I can't see Khan ever being ready for Mayweather, he's just on a different level (along with Pacquiao) to anyone else in the divisions surrounding him....

    Pacman will lose to PBF. However PBF versus Khan is legal homicide.

    He knows Manny cant beat Floyd, thats why he is talking about a future fight with Khan, cause if Pac vs Floyd fight happens, Pac will lose a decsion.

    The Matthew Hatton speculation was all media lies and conjecture to discredit Floyd's fighting heart. He does want to fight in the UK though and it would be cool to see a UK crowd chanting for Mayweather and not King Con should this fight ever happen.
     
  13. Mayweather and Pacman will finish off their careers in their superfight. They arn't in a rush to fight each other now it seems. You can see how it makes economic sense.

    That could happen, based on styles, manny will be pressing forward with that leaky defense he has, getting jabbed to death, and when he decides to open up, he gets countered with straight rights all night long....

    Mayweather TKO 10 Pacquiao....The fight is a mismatch, but manny can certainly prove me wrong....

    I thought Roach didn't have no say in who his fighters fight?
