this would even the playing field. Let's be honest. Cotto's looking for a new trainer, Pac would be looking for a new trainer. the better fighter wins and it takes out the trainer from getting more credit than they should be getting in boxing nowadays. Agree?:good
Let's say Roach calls the bluff and quits...what happens, don't you think the fight would be tipped in favor of Cotto if he doesn't already have the advantages? Alright, can somebody give a specific reason about the tax laws that forbid Manny from training at wildcard? and does the US still take out 40 percent gross if Pac still trains in another country...
Cotto already has the advantages in my eyes. I honestly think he will stop Pacquiao, as for this Roach - Pacquiao deal, it's a smokescreen, I think it's pretty obvious Pacquiao trust Roach more than he'd ever trust his team. If by some unforseen situation, Roach were to leave Pacquiao.. I see him losing A LOT. Roach is not some hype job, he really is the best trainer today. Although it should be noted that Israel Vazquez slightly improved without the tutelage of Freddy.
with the attitude roach is getting, id rather walk out right now...everything will end at a certain time and pacmans finish line is already on the horizon so if i am roach, why wait? ROACH brought pacman to where he is now. Pacman need a little bit realization atm.
I agree. I mean its all just news so nobody knows the whole story. it would totally be ricky haton-esque should he fire his trainer in the prime of his career. I just think Pac having a new trainer vs a 145 Cotto and another trainer would even the fight. Expect the excuses to fly left and right from the *******s should it happen.
In terms of tax - It has something to do the total number of days Pac has spent in the US over the last three years, if goes over 183 days he as to pay full tax my understanding is that he is very close to that number ESB's Designated Forum Accountant Bronx
If Pacman would be crazy enough to leave him, that would spell trouble... Roach doesn't define Pacquiao as a fighter but he sure properly refines the way he uses his tools. The bond they share is what makes them successful and you don't replace that without facing problems before the most important fight of your life ! On another note, Pacman shooting movies and all right now reminds me of Lewis before the first Rahman fight....and we know the reason of that outcome...
for some reason i think iv seen this before with pacquiao ermmm yep remember his first fight against morales they used the distractions as an excuse (but of course morales being weight drained in the next 2 fights was no excuse at all for roach and pac) and his second fight with barrera in which he turned up to camp a month late then went back to the filipenes the fact is roach will follow him anywhere but his performance against barrera was really bad he would of been ****ed if barrera wasnt shot i have a feeling he will be hurt bad by cotto
