He is training a bunch of fighters. He said his piece. He is confident his fighter will beat Floyd and he has never been wrong since Manny moved up above 140. On the other hand the Mayweather's have been wrong plenty with many of the fighters trained losing and spitting out ridiculous nonsense.
I don't dislike Roach at all, but since when did this ever stop him from voicing his opinions in the past?
You're right, it is strange. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but it feels like something else is waiting to happen. This fight can't die with a whimper; it would be even more disastrous than if there was very vocal acrimony between the camps that destroyed it.
He has made less and less comments as Manny has won more and more fights. For Manny his actions speak louder than words. For Floyd who the hell knows.
Everyone involved have been quiet, except Arum and Michael Koncz. What do those guys have in common? You go figure, and draw your own conclusion.
They both represent Manny and both want him to fight in November because they act on behalf of the P4P champ that fights for his country and his fans. He serves in congress for his people and fights in the ring for the world. What does Floyd do for you or anybody? Nothing. Zilch.
