Roach calls Mayweather’s racist tirade a “Cheap low blow”
September 5th, 2010
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Fredidie Roach had his own thoughts about Floyd Mayweather’s recent racist video he put on out Ustream, saying in an article at gmanews.tv, “It’s really a cheap low blow, but again, consider where it came from. We tried to fight him. He said no. He doesn’t want to fight.” Roach is getting his fighter Manny Pacquiao ready to take on Antonio Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council junior middleweight title at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. The Margarito-Pacquiao fight will take place at a 151 pound catch weight, so that Pacquiao have a slight advantage against the bigger Margarito.
If he can somehow get back to where he was two years ago, he could give Pacquiao a lot of problems in this fight. However, Pacquiao has most of the advantages in this bout and should win it without too many problems. The fight that Roach and Pacquiao want, or at least used to want, is the Mayweather bout. But they’ve had no luck in getting Mayweather to sign on the dotted line. Mayweather said in his video that he was planning on taking a year off from boxing. It’s hard to tell if he’s telling the truth or not because he sometimes says stuff that he doesn’t mean.

this kind of attitude that mayweather did is the attitude that some americans have,not all,and this is also the reason why people like osama bin laden hates americans,that fuses the 9/11.so for people like mayweather and for all your fans out there,didnt you learned about this?you think you superior to everybody and yet you caught unaware for that tragedy.are you the fisrt black racist?if you really have something to prove, do it in the ring,to all your fans,i pity them,and for your boxer floyd,you start it man,the war of racist.
floyd have you ever look at the mirror? before you insult somebody tell us who did you see in the mirror? is it your father or uncle roger who has a similarities to king kong LOL!!!
@double standard,
Pacquiao has never marketed himself as a mexican assasin or mexicutioner, as others will say. Actually it is the boxing fans who has given him that moniker. In fact when interviewed, Pacquiao frowns on being called as such. Keep you facts straight.
@Resistnsmoke,
Very well said. If it was Pacquiao who made a racist rant, many people will be up in arms calling for Manny’s head. But, since it was Mayweather who made racist remarks, it seems alright to some people. That he was just hyping for a future fight with Pacquiao. Crazy double-standard.
I think Mayweather said those racist remarks to actually distract people from the fight everyone wants. Now, people will focus on what he said. I think Mayweather is just plain afraid. No, not afraid of Pacquiao, mind you. BUT, afraid of the POSSIBILITY OF LOSING HIS PRECIOUS ZERO!!! What’s the big deal? All the great fighters out there have losses in there records. Does that diminish there greatness?
@double standard?: You are the PUREST IDIOT on this planet. Go do your homework before you post because you have no clue on what you are talking about, MORON!!!
double standard?
u idiot! pacquiao doesnt refer or even lik people refferring to him as the mexican assassin! its the media that refer to him as that, not pacquiao and his team.
provide an example of pacquiao refferring to himself as “the mexican assassin”?
double standard my a**
only smiley abnoy’s yellow army are the only racists in pellipens.
the yellow army shout their superiority over the natives. smiley abnoy has downgraded the term pinoy by calling himself p-noy.
How come Manny Pacquiao gets a free pass for marketing himself as a “Mexican Assassin”? Manny Pacquiao is just as racist as Michelle Malkin, a lady who also gets a free pass for being racist.
If Floyd Mayweather marketed himself in such way, people would be screaming.
70% of Manny Pacquiao fans are racist Filipinos. The remaining 30% are racist white people.
Manny Pacquiao’s racist marketing is also a “cheap low blow.”
Roach lies. Nobody cares what he says or thinks anymore.
FLOYD SAID HE IS THE FACE OF BOXING! LOL! NO CLASS, NONE!
li’l floyd was confused. he thought pac was a member of smiley abnoy’s yellow army.

Floyd Mayweather promotes all of his fights by going after his opponents with his words. I’m sorry people, I don’t want to see or hear someone speaking softly with their hands folded while preparing for WAR!!!
Each time I played in a game I was ready to take blood and give blood on the court. I want these two fighters to tell me how they feel prior to going to battle, then go to battle and leave all of the blood on the battlefield.
I PREFER THE WAY MAYWEATHER PROMOTES HIS FIGHTS AND I DO NOT WANT HIM TO CHANGE…AT ALL!!!****************************************************************************************************************
Floyd is on vacation….his not preparing for a fight…he needs to shut up.I always want to take blood more so than giving blood.
For me the problem with the whole Mayweather/Pacquiao is just that the fight has not happen yet. From the moment these 2 guys gets it on, there will be no more trash talk, although what Floyd has said is racist and as a black american, he should be ashamed of himself.
I have been following and longing for this pugilist to put there hard learn skill to the test against one another but without luck.
As I see it, Mayeather doesn’t want it. He has avoided or simply refused to make this fight happen. His drug test crusade was just another way to duck the fight. Now, Manny has agreed to all Floyd child like wishes and Floyd goes on a year holiday/retirement. What the %$*&”!!!
One day, because of the amount of money that they both could walk away with, this figth will happen but until then, I will be watching Mannys fights. Catch weight or not, licence or not, I will pay for the simple reason that this guy is the most exciting, entertaining fighter out there, including UFC fighters.
Boxing is surviving because of few fighters-Manny Pacquiao, Mosley, Marquez,Martinez, Williams and few others.
MAYWETHER HAS BEAT CASTILLO 2WICE,SSM,ZAB,JMM,HATTON,GATTI,CORRALES,DELAHOYA 2YRS B4 PAC AND AT 154 NOT 147 WHERE OSCAR WAS A DEADMAN STANDIN,TO NAME A FEW PAC HAS BEAT A FLAT OSCAR 2YRS AFTER AT 147,A DAMAGED COTTO DUE TO BATTLES W/SSM AND MARGA-CHEATO,A PUNCHINGBAG CLOTTEY THAT DIDNT FIGHT BACK BUT SWELLED UP MANNYS FACE W/THE FEW PUNCHES HE THREW,JMM 2 GREAT FIGHTS 1ST A DRAW THAT JMM WON 8 OUT OF 12 RDS-2ND A SPLIT DEC THAT JMM DEF WON BUT WAS NOT GIVIN THE NOD,AND NOW IS AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE, A OLD BARRERA I THINK 2WICE,LOSS TO MORALES BLMED IT ON THE GLOVES AND THEN THE BLOOD BEING WITHDRAWN,KOD MORRALES IN NEXT 2 FIGHTS,AND NOW IS FIGHTING THE CHEATER WHO WAS DEMO-ED BY MOSLEY A FIGHTER HE TRIED TO DRAIN TO 142 BUT COULDNT SO AVOIDED AND WHO ALSO WAS RECENTLY DOMINATED BY FLOYD AT 147 THE TRUE WELTERW8 LIMIT ITS EASY TO SEE WHO IS BETTER PAPER TITLES THAT R CREATED FOR U MEAN NOTHING
Faiipino, Manny wanted to take a fight before May because he wanted to fight at least two times in 2010. The longer the dispute went along the less chance he had of getting that fight. That was why he walked way plus the fact that Floyd did not want to fight in March anyhow. So please get your facts sorted out.
Getting a bit fed up with Freddie and Manny sounding off when someone doesnt dance to their tune. Forget Mayweather for the minute and get your own house in order. If your going to challenge for a title then thats the weight that BOTH fighters are allowed to fight at, yet again a hand picked opponent has to strip off more weight just so that he can have his big payday. Pacman may well be creating his legacy but anyone with any compassion for the sport knows that what hes really doing is running this great sport into the ground. When you pull on the gloves you know that everyone plays with the same rules, what you dont do is reach the top of the tree and treat your fellow pros with disdain and contempt. Wake up Freddie your doing more damage to the sport thats treated you well than you care to realise.
floyd is a go0d fighter and go0d trash talker hahaha! floyd fight pacman!

Do people in their hearts really believe manny is a clean fighter. At 130 he was a good fighter now he’s killing these guys come on. And then people say floyd should fight bigger guys but him and manny both started at the same weight class. Floyds better and as you see when he moved up he lost some power thats why he just out boxes everyone. The way a guy not on something does. His rant was wrong, I like the fighter not the man.
every fighter isn’t the same fighter they once was everytime they FIGHT….
either they lose or gain something…what the hell…
commenting on li’l floyd’s rant is like commenting on the grin of smiley abnoy.
totally useless………..

”true boxing fans dont really respect mannys boxing skills.he doesnt own a jab and is tooooo predictable in my eyes” – deltaplex
Actually u are 100% wrong! I am a true boxing fann and I have alot of respect for mannys style of fighting. You see people like you confused the sport of boxing with a sport of speed, defense and footwork only. I’m sure zab Judah is also one of ur favorite fighters beacuse of his style of fighting. But in boxing we have always had the classic boxer and the classic brawler and TRUE boxing fanns appreciate both styled fighters. Which brings me too my next point…..
“ manny hasnt faced a skilled boxer yet and has been steered towards people who are there to be hit and have that typical mexican style ” - deltaplex
What is that suppose too mean? That manny hasent faced a “skilled” boxer beacuse he’s been fighting people that fight like mexicans? Well here is a question for you, which fight in mayweathers career is the most questionable fight that many fanns considered him too loose even the HBO broadcasting team and ledderman had him loosing the fight? It was against Jose luis castillo a MEXICAN fighter, and for ur information only the u.s.a has more world champions than Mexico all time fighters and that’s beacuse the u.s.a is a melting pot, it’s not a straight blood line like mexican fighters. Manny has faced skilled boxers, fanns like u are just so amazed by the razzel dazzel show, but boxing fanns like me get tired of seeing a guy throw about 20 shots a round. I respect everyone opinion but too say Mexican styled fighters are not skilled is an insult consiserig it was castillo who was robbed from mayweather, the same castillo who use too be Chavez sparring partner, the same Chavez that putt Roger mayweather on his butt.
HAHAHA THEM MAYWEATHER BALLS LICKERS STILL BRAIN WASHED AND THINK HIS THE BEST STOP SUCKING AND ASK UR SELF WHAT HAS MAYWEATHER DONE MAKE HIM THE BEST LETS SEE HE AVOIDED MARGARITO,COTTO,CINTRON,WILLIAMS AND NOW PACMAN
@Boston Red Head
Don’t you think your reaction is exactly what Freddie is trying to evoke? The guy knows how to talk and strike some nerves, so yea I don’t think he’s “losing it.” That’s how he works and the formula of him talking and pac fighting seems to have worked for a while now. I’d say he’s quite focused and has been thinking about FMJ for quite some time.
Don’t get me wrong. Mayweather’s good at the talk too – save for that video rant the other day.
Freddie The Joke seems to look as though he is losing it each and everytime someone hands him a microphone. Freddie needs to make a decision…”Am I a trainer, or am I a promoter”.
He needs to keep quiet and stay hard focused on preparing Emanuelle for Margacheato, and then getting Emanuelle prepared for the absolute biggest and most dangerous fighter he will ever face in Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The world knows that Emanuelle will take a devastating defeat at the hands of FMJ, but Freddie The Joke needs to help Emanuelle prepare to minimize that as much as possible…
roach needs to keep quiet with all the junk him and his camp talk all the time.and everytime they have a fight set up all they do is talk about floyd. thats how they promote there fights by talking about floyd.and antonio wont do much in this bout will be knocked out then its cotto manny 2.
Margarito isn’t the fighter he once was which is why Pacquiao is fighting him.
Manny thinks he can beat mayweather,he didn’t wantto fight mosley who freddy said he was to good for pacman.. who mayweather out class a few month ago..there. no way manny can beat floyd,not wen He comin in head 1st,and. Has no defense.. o by the way mayweather makes 20millions dollars and up every fight,and manny only makes 6million…the best soo call boxer in the world makes lil money…how u the best and dnt get pay like u the best??that dude is a. Dummy
BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER
Has anyone wondered why Pacman is so sympathetic to Margarito. Could it be that he understands where Margarito is coming from?
If I was a cheater, I would do exactly what Pacman is doing with Margarito. That would certainly lessen my sense of guilt.
manny has been hyped up so much by arum and the media when really in my eyes he is overated b class fighter.true boxing fans dont really respect mannys boxing skills.he doesnt own a jab and is tooooo predictable in my eyes.mayweather is made out to be the villan but guess what he likes it that way because when he outclasses opponents he gets a kick out of it.manny hasnt faced a skilled boxer yet and has been steered towards people who are there to be hit and have that typical mexican style.i cant belive that pactards actually think that mayweather is scared of manny lol, would you be scared of anyone if you possesed the skills what mayweather has honestly.my prediction for the next year is that manny will not fight mayweather because of his rants and say that they dont need him.this is another exuse for manny and his team to run away because deep down they know that there cash cow will get a royal beatdown and they will blame mayweather for it again.why is manny fighting not even the best in these divisions i.e clottey and margarhito? thy even said no to mosely who looked exelent in beating marg.so if they turned down mosely of course he dont wanna fight mayweather cos mayweather is in a different league to mosely.freddy roach is a lyer just check out the vids on u tube
151 aint an advantage to pacquiao, cause margarito fights at 147lbs, his last fight was 154 cause he had year out and needed tune up.
if anything 151 is an advantage to margo
the writer said:
“Margarito is probably the best fighter that Pacquiao will have ever faced”
Are you joking? The cheater isn’t even THAT good, IMO. He’s big, strong, tough, and has stamina, but skill wise he does NOT compare to many who Pac has fought.
The cheater is probably the “biggest” fighter that Pac will have ever faced, but certainly not the “best”.
yeah, that’s the crazy part of where floyd is talking. he refused to fight manny and now to get the attention he used racist comments, unheard and uncalled for. roach is right there, consider where the comments came from. floyd will learn along the way that greats dont need to brag and demean what other races have accomplished. now, he is digging himself further into his grave, his fortunes waiting to vanish and accomplishments will come to nothing. his lack of descency and class will eventually catch up with floyd and future will be harshed to him together with his family. floyd’s reign will end soon, watch out floyd, it’s coming!
