Roach thinks Mayweather just wants to protect his unbeaten record
September 3rd, 2010
By Dave Lahr: Freddie Roach is unhappy that Floyd Mayweather Jr. won’t fight his guy Manny Pacquiao, and Roach is at a loss to try and figure out why he doesn’t want to fight Manny. In an article at Northjersey.com, Roach says this about Mayweather: “I think Mayweather wants to have that zero on his record so he can argue that he’s the best fighter of all time.” That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is to see things through Mayweather’s eyes. He had concerns about Pacquiao possibly using performance enhancing drugs and tried to get him to agree to the random blood testing that he wanted. Pacquiao couldn’t or wouldn’t agree to what Mayweather wanted, and so they went their separate ways.
Mayweather isn’t afraid of losing his unbeaten record, but what he is afraid of is not getting what he wants in the negotiations. That’s number #1. And number #2 is he’s afraid to fight someone that he suspects might be using PEDs. That’s why he keeps harping about wanting Pacquiao to take the random blood tests. It’s not about setting up roadblocks to keep the fight from being made. It’s about Mayweather wanting to make sure the fight is fought at an even playing field. If he’s nervous about Pacquiao’s body chemistry, then he won’t be able to concentrate as much on the fight. At this point, it’s in Mayweather’s head and he’s convinced that he has something to worry about with Pacquiao.
It’s up to Pacquiao and Roach, if they truly want to fight Mayweather, to help ease his concerns by agreeing to all the testing that he wants. It shouldn’t be a big deal. If Roach and Pacquiao want the Mayweather fight, then then they have to be agreeable to the blood testing before even wasting their time thinking about the fight. Think of the blood testing as prerequisite to dealing with Mayweather. You don’t get in the door with him unless you agree to what the man wants.

CHINA…MY GIFT TO YOU…THE PHILIPINES!!!!
TAKE $59 BUCKS OFF OF OUR DEBT!!!
TO MY COMRADE ASTIG:
COMMON ASTIG WE ARE BOTH IN THE SAME BOAT. I LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTARIES. DUMP THEM INTO THE OCEAN FLOOR ALL HATERS OF PACMAN. IF YOU WERE A LAWYER, YOU ARE NO.1 DEFENDER OF TRUTH.
a lot of suspicion etc.. why should one impose somthing on someone????? and why does someone be imposing something on someone and the other doesn’t impose anything to him. if one can answer objectively the difference between the two… the answer maybe even a plus to manny lets say now they are even. so why not fight. this means that having this kind of deadlock would only mean that floyd has alot of anxiety and concern about himself of fighting manny and this would equate to fear it not then why not fight manny. i was not even impressed with mayweather cause all his big fights from top rank boxers were on their old ages. even in his fight with dela hoya it was very clear that dela hoya won cause he threw more quality punches all mayweather did was to make a good defense. and he does not even make rematch with his opponents simply because his afraid of his style being studied and has a big chance of losing. ha. ha. ha.
THE FIGHT BETWEEN MARGARITO AND PACMAN IS CRUCIAL. IT IS A QUEST FOR SUPREMACY WHO WILL REIGN KING OF BOXING BETWEEN THEM IN THIS LIGHT MIDDLE WEIGHT DIVISION. I BELIEVE THAT MARGARITO HAS ALL THE ADVANTAGE. IT IS NOT A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY OF WINNING THE FORTHCOMING BOUT. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN PREVIOUS FIGHTS, PACMAN IS SEEN AS OFTEN THE UNDERDOG, BUT BEATEN HIS OPPONENTS IMPRESSIVELY AND CONVINCINGLY. IN OTHER WORDS, THE TREND IS STILL THERE TO WATCH. I AM NOT 100% SURE THAT PACMAN WILL DO A REPLAY OF THE PAST BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS A DIFFERENT PICTURE. I CAN VISUALIZE THE EQUATION OF MATCH BETWEEN THEM IS SO HUGE IN FAVOR OF MARGARITO. IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW PACMAN BREAKS THE ODDS AGAINST HIM. PERHAPS IT IS THE END OF PACMAN’S CAREER OR SURVIVE THE THUNDER. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS A DO OR DIE SITUATION EQUIVALENT TO A SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST ON THE PART OF PACMAN. LETS WATCH HOW THEY BOTH STRUGGLE AND WRESTLE THE CROWN OF GLORY. IT IS VERY INTERESTING. THIS FIGHT IS MORE EXCITING THAN THE PREVIOUS BOUTS OF MANNY PACQUIAO, BELIEVE ME. THEY ARE BOTH AGGRESSIVE FIGHTERS IN THE RING AND CERTAINLY CREATE AN ENORMOUS FRICTION THAT MAKES THIS FIGHT THRILLING AND ENJOYING. EVEN FORMER BOXING CHAMPIONS AND CURRENT CHAMPIONS LIKE BERTO, MAIDANA, AMIR KHAN, MARTINEZ, BRADLEY,MARTINEZ, JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ AND MOST ESPECIALLY FLOYD MAYWEATHER INCLUDING HIS FOLLOWERS AND DEFENDERS IN MASS MEDIA WILL SURELY WATCH THIS BOUT. THEY WILL NEVER MISS WATCHING IT AND I AM VERY CERTAIN.

IT’S A SIMPLE MATHEMATICS. IF THERE HAS BEEN NO AGREEMENT MADE IN THE LAST NEGOTIATION, THEN MANNY PACQUIAO IS HINTING IN THE OLD AGREEMENT. IF THERE IS AN OLD AGREEMENT BUT WHY IS BEING CHANGED IN THE FIRST PLACE? THE PPV ISSUE HAS BEEN EXPLAINED MANY TIMES PREVIOUSLY BY ME BY EXAMPLES. THE LEADING FIGHTER AND THE KING OF P4P RECOGNIZED OFFICIALLY BY WORLD SUNCTIONING BODY IS MANNY PACQUIAO, NOT MAYWEATHER. FLOYD MAYWEATHER HAS RETIRED ALREADY AND JUST RESURRECTED. HE HAS TO RECLAIM HIS PAST GLORY BY CHALLENGING AND DETHRONING MANNY PACQUIAO, THE CURRENT CHAMPION AND NO.1 P4P FIGHTER IN THE WORLD TODAY. FOR ME MAYWEATHER IS JUST A CHALLENGER TO MANNY PACQUIAO. BOXING RECORD, ACHIEVEMENT, TROPHIES, AWARDS, HOLDER OF 7 TITLE BELTS IN 7 DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASS AND 56 FIGHT BOUTS FAR EXCEED THAN MAYWEATHER’S RECORD AND ACHIEVEMENTS. MAYWEATHER HAS ONLY A TOTAL FIGHT BOUT OF 41. BUT WHY HE WANTS TO CLAIM A MUCH BIGGER SHARE OF THE POT MONEY? MAYWEATHER CANNOT CLAIM THAT HE LEADS IN PAY PER VIEW. THE PPV COMPLETELY DEPENDS ON WHO IS THE OPPONENT OF EITHER MANNY PACQUIAO OR FLOYD MAYWEATHER IN THE RING. ONE LAST EXAMPLE: SHANE MOSLEY VS JOSHUA CLOTTEY AND MANNY PACQUIAO VS FLOYD MAYWEATHER. MY QUESTION IS WHO GETS MORE PPV? ANOTHER EXAMPLE: MANNY PACQUIAO VS PAUL WILLIAMS. FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS DAVID DIAZ. WHO IS HIGH IN PPV BUYS? MANNY PACQUIAO OR FLOYD MAYWEATHER? PLEASE CLEAR YOUR MIND MR. DAVE LAHR. DON’T TELL ME MAYWEATHER STILL GETS MORE PPV BUYS IN THIS CLASSIC MATCHING. LET US BE HONEST, FAIR AND TELL THE TRUTH. EVEN AT 50/50 SHARING RATIO, MANNY PACQUIAO IS STILL THE AGGRIEVED PARTY. HE IS INSTEAD TO GET THE BIGGER SHARE OF THE REVENUE. IF ONE TRIES TO ASSESS THE WHOLE PICTURE. MAYWEATHER CAN ONLY LEAD MANNY PACQUIAO IN BOXING RECORD ONLY IF STILL UNDEFEATED IN 56 FIGHT BOUTS NOT COUNTING OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS BY MANNY PACQUIAO. TO THIS DAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 FLOYD MAYWEATHER HAS ONLY 41 FIGHT BOUTS TO HIS CREDIT. THEREFORE HE NEEDS TO FIGHT 15 MORE TIMES TO MATCH MANNY’S. I WRITE THIS IN CLEAR SIMPLE LANGUAGE FOR EVERYBODY TO WEIGH AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE. I AM NOT A PRO PACMAN NEITHER A DISCIPLE OF HIM. THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMMENTARY IS TO JUST TELL AN HONEST TRUTH ALTHOUGH IT HAS NO SEMBLANCE WITH WHAT MR. RYAN DUNN’S ARTICLE. I AM ALSO AMENDABLE TO EVERYTHING ABOUT HIS COMMENTARY, A WELL BALANCED REPORTING – WHY PACMAN IS NOT BEING MATCHED WITH OTHER TOUGH FIGHTERS OF HIS PEERS TO GIVE ENOUGH CHANCE TO PROVE WHO IS GENUINE HERO OF BOXING. PACMAN MAY NEVER BE ALONE. ONLY PROMOTERS CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

I don’t care if Floyd beats the Pacman! He’ll always be the yellow-bellied, fatmouth, a*****le I ever knew.
@bri: has Mayweather even thought about the fighters you list? Who will Mayweather fight next?
what exactly is manny doin by not takin on any of the top contenders. bradley, alexander, martinez, williams, berto. looks like he is protectin himself from a loss. always usin floyd to promote his bouts.
@Punchy Potorff **** floyd must ha some kind of smarts since he makes more then anyone else in the sport. 40 million last bout. if that is not havin smarts what is.
When you have zero class and aren’t that bright, all you have is your boxing record. So yeah, Floyd bwaaaay is running scared, and will lose to Pacman. Badly.
Murderer filipino
li’l floyd is the long lost sibling of smiley abnoy.
TAKING ALL BETS…
1) $1,000.00 ON MAYWEATHER
All of you Filipino’s get part truths from the Phi;ipines then blog as though you are knowledgeable and educated.
Listen up…Floyd is the 3rd richest athlete on the planet. Did he share it with you? Me either…Who cares if he pays lates, doesn’t pay at all or whatever.
He could buy you, me, and have your sister doing tricks for lollipops.
In May 2011 Floyd Mayweather Jr. Will be crowned the Undefeated, Undisputed, Unquestioned, P4P Champion of the world as well as the entire planet…
Relax, as Andre said…Manny will get that ass whoopin you want him to have. No doubt about it he will cry in his corner saying “I tried my best”… as Freddie will be trying to stop the bleeding…
The Ass whoopin comes for Emmanuelle Pacquiao May 2011!!!
What’s wrong Phaggies did Floyd hurt your feeling? I didn’t know midgets can be so sensitive. We gon take your women and daughter and make them our sex slave. That’s the only thing there good for is sex. The male midets can be lined up to be shot, useless people.
Nah, I just like a good fight… I am sure Pac will only last a year or two… and why be bothered how others do it?
Rofl, yeah right Freddie, that’s why Floyd fought Shane Mosley when he was the top welter and #3 P4P contender.
The same Shane Mosley that you and Phag refused to fight because he was ‘too good’ and the only way you were going to fight him was if Shane starved himself down to 142.
Seriously Freddie, just STFU already and go back to being a trainer, because you absolutely suck as a wannabe promoter.
miserable? hmm the term is “why so bitter” and no it has nothing to do with being bitter or not!! i`m just being realistic!!
For some reason, you people seems to feel or think that these guys (boxers) owes you “FANS” something, like a match or performance etc etc pfft w/e who are you?? some fat/bald dude behind a PC?
All they do it is for the money!!! stop fooling yourself!!
Dreaming about Manny wearing a shirt with your name on it lol pls!!!!
@Andre
So why so miserable? jealousy is not good for you, it’s all in the mind.
pfft go live in fairy tale land if you want too!! Who cares about fans!!! Humans are the most ungrateful and selfish creatures on this planet!!! F!@# fans !!!!
Money, money, money…easy come, easy go.
As a boxing fan…it should be all about fighting. Everything else follows.
@amoysu!@#$ you know how long people like you been saying that same thing? how can i be lying if the man is worth 200M just look at his surroundings >>> 50 cent, Diddy and now busy with a project with Cotto and King!! what? you think he just sitting at home and being lazy and not want to box? and look at Manny surroundings >> bunch of leechers acting like super best friend!!! pfft!! w/e man. You people keep mentioning all this stupid things like getting sued etc etc do you know HOW many rich/millionaires gets sued in the US? does that mean they are broke now? does it mean you are too poor to pay it? or maybe we just don`t know the truth, but the media is selling us bs!!
Lahr, this was well written article. well done.
@andre00, are you fooling yourself? FLOYD just got evicted for not paying his business office and now you are telling us he got lots of businesses. quit hugging his nuts.
Andre stop making excuses for your god floyd. No matter how much smoke screen you put up, his black soul is still visible. Just give up.
Lots of people don`t know! but Floyd has his money all over the place, he making tons of money on business projects here and there!! he a business man!!! he`s not like these boxers looking for a big break and fighting every 3 months or so!!! He doesn`t need to do that!!! So relax for a months!! smoke some!! escape the maze!! the fight will happen in 2011!! GEEZ you guys are spoiled!! like “mommy i want it nowwwwww!!!! kinda spoiled!!!
Yo,,,Big Dog, Mayweather net worth is $200 Million USD. Many Pacquiao is $70 million USD.
Use the correct numbers and stop behaving as though you are in the Philipine Congress, where lying and cheating is rampant.
@ zdrx
I see you’ve revealed your true colors. I render you irrelevant!
I am the greatest of all time!
Im 41 n 0 and worth every dime!
More people wanna see me fight
Even pactards know im right!
Money money money may make you the richest man in the sport but it dont mean your the best.
If Mayweather fancied his chances hed never turn this fight down just for the money alone. But he dont fancy his chances so has run off.
Also, I’d like to add that Floyd will add a rematch clause in the contract, just in case.
If Pac wins, expect a rematch. If Floyd wins, it’ll be a one-night stand.
@ I’M A BAD
IMHO, it’s a 50/50 fight.
It’ll break PPV records and the contrasting styles make it so intriguing to even the average non-boxing fan.
They both are at their peak of their career. For the past few years, Pac & Floyd have been devastating opponents.
Their fights have been so one-sided lately it’s embarrassing. That’s why folks have been looking for excuses as to why it was so easy for them (weight-drain, old age, accusations of PEDs, overratedness, broken-down/damaged goods opponent, etc.)
Forget the titles or belts, this is for immmortality.
I enjoy a good boxing match period. I’ll be happy regardless of who wins.
@JRD, That’s $3,980,000.00 more than you made last year!
Nike offered Floyd M. a 5yr, $4 M contract…..
not to wear their products….
bwahahahahahahaha!!!
@Anonomous…Prepare yourself…May 2011.
THE MOST HUMILIATING, EMBARRASSING, EXPOSING BEATDOWN EVER DELIVERED IN A PPV EVENT.
YOU WILL WITNESS MANNY PACQUIAO CRYING IN HIS CORNER AFTER THE FIGHT…
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN…SO SHALL IT BE DONE!!!
Have you people just joined the boxing websites? Have you been reading the blogs for the last year? The Filipinos have posted some of the most racist blogs ever seen on the web!!!
These are the most racist group of people on the planet! All of a sudden FMJ says something they don’t like and they are hurt? Scroll back 6 months and read the blogs from these little people.
Are you Effing kidding me???
Right back atcha midgets…
If it was an easy fight for Floyd then he would have faught if a long tome ago.
@Afrocutioner…well said!
I don’t think you’re going to like who they crown though!
AN ABSOLUTELY EASY FIGHT FOR FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. EASY WORK!!!
he done it for morrales!!!!!!h@ll
We can’t call him MayNever anymore because Floyd Jr. is already promoting next year’s fight. THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS FOLKS!!!
In the meantime, let Floyd’s nut-huggers expose themselves. Next year, we will finally have an undisputed P4P King.
I’m a happy boxing fan right now. Enough said.
@Dead Dogs, just save your money…
boycot Lahr
Lahr, you are such a bias writer…
@MF
He just lost a fan today, and i’m asian. It does make African-Americans look bad because he’s a public figure.
@to all you racists.
I completely agree all racists, every single one of them should be tied up and burnt like you say. Especially the black ones. And gingers.
Bad MF what fight are asian Mayweather fans guna buy? Hes taking a year off after just coming back from retirement.
Mayweather and roadkill you’r a shame to your color. Go show your stpdity somewhere else not in the internet where every one can see
stop it Lil’ Floyd!!!
This ain’t no schoolbus…
We have lots of Asian fans out there and we’re losin’ ‘em.
@Jordan, humilty is great coming from my priest. I appreciate it coming from him. However, the sport of boxing is a brutal, hardcore sport that really has a base of hardcore fans.
Floyd won’t lose not 1 Asian fan, In fact, more will buy the fight hoping to see him lose. And will continue buying his fights hoping to see him lose. I wish I were still a student, because I would do a Harvard study on the priciples of marketing in the vicious brutal modern day gladiator sport of boxing.
I am sure you know this, but this event will break all PPV records probably for the next 20 years.
Either out of love for Floyd or out of hating Floyd. Both are fans.
And, nice try…but this does not reflect on the African population in any way whatsoever!!!
Floyd Mayweather has gotten into your head even at this early stage of selling this event.
PAcquiao will knock maycracker’s teeth and make him look like a true black ghetto loser from the porjects!!!
@JORDAN
YES MOTHOF@CKER!
What have all brainwashed Mayweather fans have in common. They have just been raped by their saviour.
The mans come out, been racist, derogatory and moronic and has admitted Mannys accepted all the full tests but he has an urge to not box.
Youd have to be a moron to not be able to see he just doesnt want to face Pacman
That f*ckin slave is going down.
we gonna stomp that POOCHI EYE MOTHOF@CKER!!!!! CHOP HIS AZZ UP!!!!!!!!!!
GO FLOYD!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO ASIAN WOMEN P U ZZIES RUN POOCHI WAYS(SIDEWAYS?)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH! LMAO
@ jordan
f@ck u and asian fans all floyd need to do is keep wining. afro americans dont look bad we look good son. that poochi eye yellow mothof@cker look like a coward. he scared of f@cking needles but gets tattos after every fight. asians are dumb azzez if they cant see through this full time braod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! f emmanuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mayweathe is going down
@MF
There are other methods to sell fights without being racist.
That rant did 3 things:
1. Mayweather loses 80-90% of his asian fans.
2. Made African-Americans look bad.
3. Made Pacquiao look like a good guy.
After Pacquiao agrees to Mayweather demand of full random drug testing, expect something to come up. It will be a LIPS TO LIPS, one night stand with “Poochiao”.
emmanuel poochi eye ch!nk mothof@cker never signed a contract his dumb ass didnt like. little poochi eye emmanuel is a yellow coward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah
im laughin at this ch!nk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope Pacquiao f*cks that Maynigga up like a run away slave!!!
Mayweather is scared
@Jordan, my friend then you’d better not sign on to any more boxing websites beginning today.
It sounds like Floyd Mayweather is beginning to sell the May fight with Pacquiao already.
Buddy, it’s going to get hot as hell!!! His rant’s vs. Mosely will look like child’s play compared to how he will go after Manny Pacquiao!!!
Ultimately…he will get in to Manny’s head the same as he has yours…
I used to respect Floyd in some degree for being a great boxer and entertainer. I used to think all his trash talking is just for show and business. But that racist rant made me lose 100% respect for him. It’s a sad sad day.
emmanuel, bring me an egg roll chump!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F’ING EMMANUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
STUPID LITTLE MOTHOF@CKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Cat, I agree. Floyd will BRUTALIZE Manny Pacquiao…Just wait!
emmanuel come here and take my order kid! lmao!
EMMANUEL!!!!!!!!! LMAO
Yo Liesensor, did you hand Mayweather his check? how in the hell do you know anything in the Philipines?
People, I absolutely loved the Mayweather rant…I am ready for these to to start jarring with each other. Let the games begin! That’s what I call fire in his gut! I’ts going to get heat up and get much hotter than it is now!
Let me see Manny’s fire!!! Does he have any? Don’t give me this BS he does it in the fight…Manny, dammit, help sell the fight!!!
Don’t you get it? Fans enthusiastically pay for excitement, thrill, flash, polish, talent…
I love my priest, but other than Sunday, I don’t want to have my head down and hands folded.
@ liesensor, he did make about 40 mil for the fight, $22,500,000 plus his take from the PPV buys, mosley made about 6 mil for that fight…. look it up
this n!gga emanuel “pac” been knocked out twice. n!gga sucks!
emanuel is a full time broad!!!!!!!!!!!!
poochi eye pac real name is emanuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FLOYD JR MADE OVER 40 MILLION FOR A FIGHT AGAINST MOSLEY WAS A LIE – IT WAS PADDED MONEY JUST TO SHOW FLOYD JR WAS MAKING A LOT OF MONEY AND DRAMATIZED WITH HIS ACCOMPLICES IN GBP. YEAH, THEY WERE THINKING THAT THEY CAN USE IT AS LEVERAGE IN THE NEGOTIATION OVER PACMAN. SO FUNNY!
pac name is emnauel and the little mothof@ker takes power pellets. floyd gonna stomp that mothof@cker and chop his as up and cook him with sushi and rice and service his as to the homeless. f pac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pac real name is emanuel, he a little fake fraud!!!!!!!!
KEEP TALKING MIDGETS…You will all see the fear you speak of manifest itself when these 2 meet.
THE ASS WHOOPIN OF ALL ASS WHOOPINS DOTH COMETH TO THE LITTLE FELLA…PREPARE YOURSELVES.
THIS ARTICLE OF DAVE LAHR IS ANOTHER GARBAGE AND FABRICATED TO DESTROY PACMAN WHILE BUILDING UP THAT COWARD FLOYD JR. THE WORDS OF THIS AUTHOR IS NOT CREDIBLE, DAVE LAHR IS COOKING UP ANOTHER RIDICULOUS ASSUMPTIONS TO CONCEAL COWARD FLOYD JR’S EXCUSES THAT WE ALL KNOW TRUTH ALREADY THAT HE’S SCARED OF PACMAN. BTW, MAYWEATHER VS MOSLEY WAS A FIXED FIGHT. HAVEN’T YOU NOTICED ODLH OVERLY REACTED WHEN MOSLEY WOBBLED MAYWEATHER IN THE 2ND ROUND. ODLH HAD SHOWN A GESTURES AND MESSAGES TO MOSLEY – WE AGREED SHANE THAT YOU WILL A LOSER OF THIS FIGHT, WE AGREED SHANE THAT YOU WILL MAKE MORE MONEY TO PLAY AS THE LOSER OF THIS FIGHT, HELP FLOYD JR TO PROTECT HIS 0, AND ETC… WHAT MOSLEY DID IN THE 2ND ROUND WAS JUST TO SHOW FLOYD JR THAT HE CAN BEAT HIM UP EASILY. EVEN COWARD FLOYD JR ZERO=0 AND HIS HIGH SALES PPV ‘COZ OF FIGHTING POPULAR OPPONENTS COULD STILL BE RIDICULOUS TO USE AS LEVERAGE IN THE NEGOTIATION AGAINST THE TRUE BRAVE CHAMP PACMAN
Tell Roach that Paquiao is protecting his streak by fighting,who mosely whupped in easy fadshion the undeservng Margarito..
TO BAD fLOYD CANT GET BACK ON DANCING WITH THE STARS.BUT THE DONT LET LOSERS REPEAT.
@Fighter: Still trying your best to cover up for your boy Mayweather huh? You have no clue on what you are saying, not even close. If Mayweather only had the balls to fight, maybe this would have been settled a long time ago. EXCUSE after EXCUSE after EXCUSE is all I hear from Mayweather and his fans. If the midget is so easy to beat, why don’t Mayweather prove it and earn some big bucks? Instead Mayweather cries about not getting any love from his fellow Americans or not getting any endorsement deals. My favorite is FIGHTER OF THE DECADE. Mayweather claims he is undefeated, big deal! That is being done right now by other fighters. DECADE is 10 Years, not 8+ years (Mayweather retired). Anyway, Fighter you should change your name to MAJOR NUTHUGGER because you just didn’t suck Mayweather’s crank, you deep throated it!!! LMAO!
DAVE DOUSE
If Floyd had any game in him, he would have fought Pacquaio long time ago. This whole drug crusade and vacation sounds more like an excuse to get in the ring with Pacquaio. I commence him for his belts and win over Oscar and Mosley, but when there is a boxer who has taken over your reign you must take it back. That is how athletes think, they want to be the best. In Floyd’s case, he’s satisfied knowing Manny is better and has accepted being second.
@elgato: ODH came close to beating Mayweather, he didn’t have it anymore. ODH was done after his fight with Hopkins. Many people know that. Both Mayweather and Pacquiao fought ODH passed his prime(FACT). Mayweather is using the purse split and another excuse not to fight. Too many excuses from mayweather has killed this fight. Mayweather will come out and fight someone else then take another year off until Pacquiao retires from boxing for good. Every Mayweather fight will be a TUNE UP fight with lesser fighters because of the amount of time Mayweather takes off.
Floyd is scarred to death, you can see it all over him.
Here we go again…It seeems that every time Pac has signed a contract to fight someone else, Roach and Pac get to running off at the mouth. They are simply trying to use Mayweather’s name for publicity only to sell this horrible fight. Nothing more. Roach said Margs is more hittable than DLH. Thats why they took the fight. Another come straight ahead fighter with very little to no head movement, get hit with 3 punches to land 1…Listen folks…taking UNNECESSARY punishment doesn’t prove anything accept one get brian damage faster, and slurring his speach. The Sweet Science Baby. I love it.
Wouldn’t it be a pity if all this hype, turns into a fight that comes nowhere close to it?
Did Freddy help Oscar beat Floyd?
In freddie we trust
Dave Lahr I like you, write more article. This make you a popular dumb!!!!!
another write up from casual fan…
After this fight, Manny will have the leverage over the split. 60/40? Haha. All Flayd has left is his PPV numbers.. but Manny will surpass that too in his upcoming fight.
Floyd said that Pacquiao made 6M in his last fight and that he made 65M. Even if this is half true and Pacman made 12M and Floyd 32M, how can Top Rank and Pacman as for 50-50- split.
People money is why the fight hasn’t been made.
Floyd is know talking and creating controversy.
I waited too long for this fight and I don’t care about any other fights at welter other than this one.
I am sure Floyd will win, but I still want to see how Floyd will win.
Will he box or mix it up. Will Floyd look for the KO or to simply embarrass and humiliate Pacman.
Pacman is arrogant too, and thinks he is worth more than what he generates on PPV. He is to take his 40-60 split and random tests and fight. If he wins than he can get Floyd fans and truly become what he thinks he is now…mainly the top draw and the greatest of the era. He has to beat Floyd.
Floyd is hated by they press but in my view he is the greatest of the era until proven otherwise.
ZEP you’re an idiot, Lahr is picking up on one comment. He doesn’t write about anything that isn’t in his interest. He wants controversy so he writes about comments made about Mayweather.
Hey, the countdown to the fight has begun! It takes about 6-8 months of hype to prep a fight and MAY has started the countdown (putting in the racial stuff just brought more heat to the fire). May 2011 is 6 months after Nov 2010. So, PAC will beat the stuffing out of ‘cheato. Rest, recover over the holidays, fight will be signed off (finally) in jan or feb of 2011. If MAY wasnt going to fight, he wouldnt say anything about PAC or boxing at all. Again, relax people and dont get so upset about everything…..
@Slim, LAHR is writing about the words, actions, and focuses of the Pacquiao camp.
@Vdog, great call. Shouldn’t they be focusing on Cheato? If this is such a tough fight shouldn’t they be looking at Cheato rather than the ass whoopin from Mayweather?
Funny how Dave Lahr always look for stuff to talk about Mayweather instead of the Pac and Margarito fight.
Dave Lahr!! you are a writer???
Manny Pacquiao, you have publicly said that you will accept full “Random” blood testing up to the day of the fight to make this fight happen. When negotiations begin once again, there should not be any issues at all.
Be the man you say you are and take the test as you said you would.
Then step in the ring and take what’s waiting for you….
Yall no floyd isnt going to fight but once a year and a few weeks ago manny never agreed to random drug testing but now that he see’s he wont get the kinda money he wants and has already signed to fight margarito he agrees to full drug testing so what is floyd supposed to do now? FLoyd said when he comes back he will fight manny so what are yall complaning about? I want the fight as bad as the next guy but i also see where where floyd is coming from. NObody makes me do anything until im ready to do it.YOu love to hate him, and he is just soaking it up!.
pls mr david liar, stop writing… or stop taking peds….
FOR ALL YOU KNOW, DAVE LAHR JUST TRY TO GAUGE PACMAN’S BOXING FANS ENDURANCE HOW FAR THEY CAN SURVIVE THE ONSLAUGHT OF HIS COMMENTARY. EVERYTIME HE WRITES SOMETHING DESTROYING THE IMAGE OF PACMAN AND EXULTING HIS IDOL MAYWEATHER, JUST LAUGH AT EVERYBODY’S RESPONSE IN A CORNER WAITING FOR THE BIG BAIT.HE SITS OUT THERE LAUGHING IN ECSTASY WAITING EVERY COMMENT.
The Bible of Boxing says:
September 3, 2010 at 6:49 am
I have been folowing boxing since the early sixties during which time the US dominated. In boxing today there are so many different countries producing good fighters while at the same time the US athletes seem to be more interested in US sports like basketball, football and baseball. In fact many US athletes are now going abroad to play world football in Europe and S. America.
My point is people want to see the best versus the best and could care less who can speak English. Floyd is so stupid to be saying stuff like that. He and his family do not even speak proper English whereas these international fighters can speak multiple languages.
Typical Americans! They feel everybody must speak English and that is also they speak. For fans who speak many languages it is so childish to hear this moron say this cr@p! But then again he will say anything to avoid fighting Manny. Where was all his English a few weeks ago when the deadline was fast approaching? Once again as soon as Manany is safely locked up for another fight, here comes Floyd screaming again.
He is like a barking little dog chasing a target. When it stops he stops when it moves he moves. He once again proves he is scared of Manny and will never fight him to preserve his 0. I have a present for you Floyd, a going away present. But first you have to go away to get it! Idiot!
————————————————————–
this is the right thing to say
Straight out of Floyd’s mouth from his latest video rant…who’s holding up the fight now?
“He’s going to take the urine and the blood test and what I truly believe is if we’re cheating, if an athlete is cheating, then we’re cheating the fans,”
“I truly believe I am going to fight again, but as of right now, I don’t have the urge to get up”
MAYWEATHER IS JUST MAKING UNFOUNDED EXCUSES ,HE’S JUST AFRAID OF PACMAN PLAIN N SIMPLE DUDE.
This article is joke, just like mayweather
MAYWEATHER IS JUST A LOUSY BOXER.
THE COMMISSION SHOULD STRIP HIM OF HIS LICENSE.
ANYWAY HE IS COWARD AND DON’T WANT TO FIGHT THE GOOD BOXERS IN THE SPORT.
WE WILL JUST FORGET HIM AND HIS SHAMEFUL ACTIVITIES.
Whatever Roach.. Most fans fans think that your fighter is just riding the popularity train and fighting tomato cans! Funny how they have a fight coming up and every other word they use is..Mayweather!! Wont pac/margo sell itself??
Pac is very smart. Something not being mentioned here is this: Pac knows he cannot lure Mayweather to fight him if he doesn’t take the random blood test up to fight night and he doesn’t accept less than 50%. So, Pac insisted it more — up to 14 days and 50% of the purse. That way nobody will think that he is the one who is scared to fight PBF. He made PBF made the excuse. Pac is the coward here. Afterall, Team Pac refused to fight Mosley even at a criminal catch weight. Pac is yellow.
here comes the idiot again!
Mr. writer you are pathetic,how much do you make by writing this ignorant columns…I pity you get a life…
mosley nearly dumped mayweather round 2 ,if pacman tags mayweather like that ,mayweather will be on his back faster than he can say im the greatest boxer ever.
honestly cmon if pacman was such an easy defeat for mayweather he wouldv signed by now,mayweathers all about the money,yet he wont make more money fighting anybody else yet he still wont make it happen,he,s scared of losing that 0.simple
As soon as you mentioned performance enhancing drugs you gave yourself away – a Pacquiao hater. I do not need to go into any reasons as you are a hater therefore there is no point.
At this point, it’s in Mayweather’s head and he’s convinced that he has something to worry about with Pacquiao. — now, this mean something… dave lahr just admitted mayweather had just lose in his own mind game… i thought he’s good at this… lol!
look people, this is a must, this fight has to happen. Mayweather is a brilliant defencive fighter and will have tpo keep paquio away, but paquio is a warrior and will go all gunz blazing. if mayweatehr gets caught like he did with mosley, im dorry to say but he is f****ed paquio will finish him. but if he can keep away and box mayweater can have it. come on mayweather get your arse out and make this happen.
Ummm maybe, or perhaps he wants to avoid fighting a drug taking cheat.
Pacquio winges about drug test will make him weak, but he is happy to weaken the opposite fighter by making catch-weights etc…
The Cotto welterweight fight, at 145 etc….
It is a joke, I’m not a great fan of Mayweatherm but in this case he is 100% correct.
Davey boy, you´re loosing it too. Watch your idol Mayweather livestream video. His irrational behaviour is very much questionable! One of the fan said today he might end up like Edwin Valero, and I do agree too. He needs help and he needs it fast! And all of you writers and fanatic diehards fans will be held responsible if something drastic happens to him. You are feeding him a lot of full senseless ideas. You must be ashamed of yourselves.
rubbish !!!
Just to remind everyone who knows boxing that I was the one who dealt Mr Floyd Mayweather his first devastating defeat at the Atlanta Olympic Game, his home country. Truly he is not unbeatable and his “0″ record is only an illusion.
MY NAME IS SERAFIM TODOROV: DESTROYER OF FLOYD MAYWEATHER
At the end I think that Roach talk much more than Mayweather…
That dude dont miss a chance to talk trash!
Dave, PAC agreed to Floyd’s demand on the blood testing. You have not heard his latest excuse: HE DOESN’T HAVE THE URGE.
Throw this on the list of his previous excuses “I am not thinking of boxing at the moment” etc…….
And the list goes on………………….
pacman should ‘help ease mayweather’s concerns’?! r u kidding me? after mayweather and his family have maligned pacquiao with racial slurs and tried to discredit his wins by the unfounded ped allegations, now you want him to ‘ease mayweather’s concerns’? if mayweather truly believes that pacquiao is just a come-forward, crude fighter who throws wild punches and has no defense, with or without ped, he could beat him and shouldn’t even mind the peds!!
