Freddie Roach on Chris Algieri: He's nothing special....Pacquiao is gonna KO him

[TheProfessor]

Pac has been signed to Arum for years. Everyone had an opportunity to fight Pac.. Since Pac is the champion

In the past, Top Rank had opponents for him that made sense, for better or worse. When he re-signed with TR last year it was clear that the stable was bare. He did it anyway.

Why aren't all these other options stepping up to fight Pacquiao though?? since Pac is the champ...Not like its a Ward situation where he only wants to fight in Oakland and isn't a huge draw.

That's not Ward's situation.

Pac is loyal to TR...Pac re-signed this year not last year you goof.. And this was during the time TR and Goldenboy were ending the cold war, It wasn't until after that it was revealed that Schaefer was a snake and wasn't officially signing fighters to GB just promoting their fights under a Haymon managerial deal.. Pac didn't have that information when he re-signed.. Apparently Oscar didn't either

This year, last year, whatever. He re-signed knowing that he was going to get sh*t fights and that there were better matchups elsewhere. He could've just stayed a free agent. He didn't.

He res-signed knowing that TR and GB were ending the coldwar between the two promotional companies. If you wanna bytch about Pac not getting better fights, look to Schaefer and Haymon.. This is their doing. Notice Schaefer resigned from GB after Pac re-signed to TR.. It was all calculated. Dont be a fool

He didn't have to sign with anyone. He could've been a free agent and the war wouldn't have affected him. He chose sides. The side with the sh*ttiest possible fights to look forward to.

If GB and TR were ending the Coldwar what difference would it make if hes signed to TR??
All the fights should have been able to be made if the two promotional companies agree to work together RIGHT OR WRONG?

He knew what the situation was beforehand and he still signed to Top Rank. He didn't have to choose any side.

De la Hoya didnt even know the situation, but Pac knew??

The Cold War didn't start last week. He didn't have to sign with anyone. He chose Top Rank and their sh*tty outlook.

Wrong, because certain TR fighters (such as Manny) have exclusive rights with HBO to show their fights. That would STILL be a major hiccup in dealing with GB fighters who are signed exclusively to Showtime.


That's a major reason why GGG vs Peter Quillen hasnt happened, due to GGG being HBO exclusive and Quillen being Showtime exclusive

But the cold war between TR and GB ended before he re-signed to TR.. Pac was always with Top Rank, you sound kinda furious that he re-signed though.. I thougt you dont catch feelings over what someone else decides to do :mpjpls:.. you should be mad at these nikkas that are supposedly "free agents" who somehow have ZERO control over who they fight next

Pac isn't bound to HBO, where you get that wrong information from?

He didn't have to re-sign with anyone. Not furious. Just disappointed that he made a move that ensures nothing but sh*tty fights going forward. Could've done what Cotto did.

I thought he was. I was wrong
