    "Besides, Mayweather has already signified his interest in, at last, fighting Manny. In other words, he has already expressed his willingness. We will not be pursuing him as we’ve been doing the past few years. If we can get him, we should take him," he added.

    arums ****in name should never even come up, the only ones that should decide this are Pac & Floyd themselves, no middle men to make things difficult, no Roach, no arum, no team Mayweather, just Floyd & Pac say `yes we`ll fight, get it done`.

    Well hopefully the idiots on here will now shut up about Floyd not wanting the fight, since Freddie has acknowledged it himself.

    The two biggest obsticles to this fight happening are Bob Arum and Floyd Sr. Neither guy is confident enough in their fighter winning.

    Pacquiao's like a gimp in a box that Arum pulls out when and where he feels like it.

    He needs to grow a pair and make his own decisions.

    If you don't think Lil Floyd doesn't take advise from Sr. then you don't know what's up, Bill.

    Floyd trusts his father more then anyone when it comes to boxing. He tought him everything, so when he says, this guy is on something and i didn't train you to beat this type of southpaw, you better believe he's gonna listen.

    Mayweather Sr. also knows a defeat would destroy his son.

    "We will not be pursuing him as we’ve been doing the past few years. If we can get him, we should take him"



    Am I the only one who noticed the wording here. Roach just said that they would not be pursuing Mayweather and you add this with the federal judge who is the arbitrator in the lawsuit informing Mayweathers team/people and Mayweather himself that negotiations are not open and this makes me think even less that the fight will happen in May.

    Roach is full of ****, he's just trying to save face.... When Pacquiao has signed to box other fighters, Roach, Arum & Ariza are always calling Floyd out... When the fight is there to be made they don't want to know.

    Roach is just covering his own arse. He knows Arum holds all the cards, he is just trying to distant himself from any criticism if the fight doesn't get made..

    Floyds team are the ones activly pursuing this fight.

    I hope people can see this?
