IT HAS BEEN billed as the fight of the century, but Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach has mischievously suggested that Floyd Mayweather could back out before the duo face off in Las Vegas on Saturday.
In an interview with USA Today, Roach admitted he still is not convinced that Mayweather will actually fight Pacquiao.
Asked about his thoughts on the fight, he interjected: “If [Mayweather] shows up. I am still worried about that.
I won’t believe it until I see him in front of us in the ring.
Roach is insistent that he has legitimate concerns over whether Mayweather will show up to the fight.
“I just think he was forced into this fight,” Roach said.
“He didn’t want this fight. Every fight he has had in his lifetime was one that he picked.
This is the first one he was forced into and I feel he was uncomfortable. They made him take it, Showtime.
It would be a costly leave for Mayweather if he does decide to skip it as he is set to make more than $150 million from this fight.
Mayweather is a genius. This fight should have happened in 2009. People buy his PPV mostly to see him lose. If he had fought Pacquiao in 2009 and lost he wouldn’t have seen upwards of €40million in all those fights between 2009 and 2014. So he still got all his paydays, fights Pacquiao now when he’s older and less dangerous and STILL looks to make over €180 million for it. Genius. As I’ve said before, it’s such a pity he’s also a a shameless woman beater.
Genius me hole,
Einstein was genius, this fools just a hungry b@st@rd.
The story of how it came about is really mad. A chance meeting between the 2 fighters at a basketball in Miami a few months ago. They exchanged numbers at half time and Mayweather called over to Pacquiao’s hotel room that night to talk about it. All these years of waiting and maybe all that was needed was for the 2 to meet each other face to face.
That’s not the truth and he knows it. This fight is happening because Floyd Mayweather wants this fight to happen.
To make it happen Manny had to agree to everything and anything Floyd wanted, easy to see now how the fight was never made before when your are dealing with a self-obsessed drama Queen like mayweather, surprised he didn’t want to get to pick what shorts and footwear Manny wears aswell.
Manny is hoping floyd pulls one
Mayweather just too damn good to loose. Although Manny does move well and attacks at different angles , not just straight up the middle. Manny throws lots of 3s and 4s.
However Manny drops his hands a little when throwing punches and leave himself open. I expect Mayweather to make Manny miss then pounce and land enough to win on points if not a 7th or 8th round knock out.
mayweather the best defence,counter puncher,mover,game plan executioner,he will adapt and win by 5 rounds or a late stoppage the 0 stays till the end.
