Roach : "Everyone wants to see Pac vs Mayweather, that fight has to happen"

You know better than this, its not really in floyds control he can pay jmm the step aside money but who's to say arum would just cancel cotto-pac and go through with pac-pbf. Its not that simple.

 

You are twisting again . . . it's not signed yet. :deal

Ducking? You said that not me. It came from his mouth . . . he is paying JMM to step aside. :deal

 

Of course we all know better than this . . . but why can't PBF just shut up? That's the point . . . he keeps owning himself. And people here are protecting him as if . . . he speaks the truth and nothing but the truth?

:deal

 

When they offerd the Margarito fight he wasnt set to fight anybody, he had a mandotory that came up as well, but not once was he set to fight anybody, thats why they offered Floyd 8 million they wanted a fight and a big fight.

 

How has floyd been owning himself though?

 

Why issue a statement to pay JMM step aside money when he already previously stated he won't deal with ARUM and he won't fight Pacquiao until he is his own man?

 

The same reason roach previously stated they wouldn't want to fight floyd because he'd just run and make it a boring fight then turn around and say he'd love to fight him

 

Roach recent statements says otherwise.

 

What's with roach and floyd? sucks..

Their offer meant nothing at that point. Please remember Mayweather was signed with Arum at the time and even before Mayweather moved up to welterweight they had a fight with Judah negotiated and set with a date mentioned. All both had to do was win their tune-up fights, Mayweather over Mitchell and Judah over Baldomir(who also was his WBC mandatory). When Judah lost, Mayweather's team had sights on Baldomir and Margarito. Baldomir turned it down demanding more money and claiming he needs one fight to be ready and Margarito was scheduled to fight Manuel Gomez in a PPV extravaganza you and probably three other ESB members ordered.

After that Mayweather had plans to fight DLH, his move up in weight was for DLH and Arum wasn't going to negotiate that so he played the Margarito game to promote one in his stable and downgrade another who left him. It's how promoters do their business and is very obvious. Mayweather then considered a fight with Spinks at Jr. Middle for the IBF, a fight people were too negative towards and claimed he had to win the lineal title AT LEAST at welterweight unlike his reign at Jr. Welter. Guess what?, Margarito didn't offer the lineal title and the same amount of money the Baldomir fight offered.

 

That's a good post.

Arum just used Floyd's name to promote Tony.:deal

Seems like if Arum had 8 million to pay Floyd to fight Margo he would have had enough dough to pay-off Manuel Gomez' SHOT unranked ass.:think

 

Pac Vs. Void could have happened instead of Pac/Cotto/Marquez/Void, but Void refused to fight Pac.

 

My guess is that they will square off at the MGM Grand on April 17, 2010.

And Mayweather will win a clear UD.
