    For this recent controversy.

    If this recent issue is really hype then it is working.

    It is now one of the main story on Yahoo's homepage:

    If you scroll through the main news items you will eventually see PBF's and Pacman faces with the major headline.

    Therefore, if this stunt is just to hype the fight then it's working.:hey

    However, if the fight really won't happen then boxing will truly have lost out on this self selling mega event.:twisted:

    what a shitty way to hype a fight, by associating the sport with performance enhancing drugs

    Yeah hyping a fight by accusations that embarrass the sport.

    Roach has been a bad thing for boxing more than a good thing. I used to sort of like him as a secondary trainer, but when people started saying he was elite, then I knew that was just the trend in boxing to build up someone else. When you have Manny you will win and beat the guys you fight. Roach has been too vocal and argumentative about tactics and with other cornermen. He is not acting like a professional, and in my mind not a good trainer. Overrated completely.

    I never though of it like that. You make a great point.
