    "We want Floyd Badly!"

    ....reminds me of the big talk shenanigans Haye pulled off to the lead up of his fight with Wladimir.

    People who usually **** talk like that do so because they realize that backing it up in the ring is a slim proposition.

    Quite honestly Roach speaking in that way shows me his insecurities about Pacquiao's chances vs Mayweather.

    Two things need to happen. Pac needs to stop being the nice guy and CALL OUT FLOYD after the Marquez fight. And Bob Arum needs to put his ego aside and make the fight happen.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl So a chavez fight is a joke fight but a canelo fight is legit?:patsch

    Get off the haterade..pac-bradley would do just fine. Mike jones needs to beat a big name opponent before he can have a chance against pac.

    If Floyd wanted the fight badly he would of dropped the testing or accepted a compromise. That's using your logic. Why is that Pac has to bend over for Floyd? The only thing that's gonna tell us whether this fight happens or not is Floyds actions after the Ortiz fight. Is he gonna run and hide again or is he actually going to pursue the fight, which he hasn't done in 2 years.

    Well Pac's fans always say Roach doesn't speak for Manny since he's just the trainer.... and last we heard from Pac he 'doesn't really care'... But I guess I'll take any sign of wanting the fight from Team Pac... although unless he's talking taking blood tests without cutoff he's wasting everyones time...

    I bet we will here something different from Arum or Koncz with in the next 7 days. Manny is still in hiding since the Mayweather call out. I think he is getting his words together so he wont sound like a *****!!!

    Arum is getting his next tactical "MEDIA MIND****" prepared for these dumbasses to eat up.

    This is starting to get silly. The quick to kiss a dick media will be trying to board Floyd's ship after he beats Ortiz. Then manny beats Marquez, and they side with him.

    Well, Floyd didn't say he wanted the fight "badly". That was Roach, apparently.

    Mayweather is still singing the same tune - Manny needs to take the blood tests if they are to ever fight. The only recent development from Floyd is that he's speaking in much clearer terms (i.e. he "absolutely" wants the fight).

    I think it's becoming increasingly clear that Mayweather would be prepared to lace up if he gets his blood test demands agreed to.

    Would be so funny if Ortiz sparked Mayweather and Marquez put a clinic on Pac :!:

    As much as I want to see Floyd and Manny fight, I'd quite enjoy that.
