I think this guy would be a better sparring match-up for Pacquiao to train for Mayweather



and Rigo would be a better match-up for Mayweather to train for Pac

I think Money's confidence does stem from control to a degree. From the fight location, to the split, to the testing, etc. The things Money demands is to make him look better than the opponent. I believe he would be shook to stand on stage with Manny and hear Manny get more love from the fans, hence that awkward azz press conference last week with only the media.

Dat fanbase-loyalty-cuz-they-know-you-bring-it-every-time-so-they-fukk-with-you-even-though-you-lost-before. Something money cannot buy or control.




















Pun intended. :sas2:


Ricky Hatton brought everyone but the Queen of England with him. Oscar got more love. He's used to it and it motivates him.

Roach: I Told Pacquiao, God Don't Give a F*** Who Wins

According to Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, he is a little concerned that Manny Pacquiao's conversion to evangelical Christianity has pushed away the boxer's killer instinct. Pacquiao has not scored a knockout win since a fall 2009 twelfth round TKO of Miguel Cotto.

On May 2nd, he steps in the ring for the biggest fight of his career - against Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Roach wants Pacquiao to be at his meanest, his most aggressive state, when he faces Mayweather. The veteran coach is advising his fighter to apply pressure at all times, throw a very high volume of punches, and close the show with a knockout if the opportunity is there.

“It’s the biggest day of my life," Roach told New York Magazine. “Manny has to fight the best fight of his life to win, and that won’t be easy. I want to get him meaner and more aggressive because he’s going to need it in this fight. He tells me, ‘Let’s just fight and let God decide who wins’. I said, 'Manny, God doesn’t give a f*** who wins. He’s got bigger things to do.

Roach writing checks Manny can't cash in one breath, says he needs to fight the perfect fight.
Manny thinks he needs a deity to beat Floyd
Freddie Roach has put so much into this fight, saying the whole world will be disappointed if Manny loses
Koncz watching USADA
Roach complaining about the ref
Roach complaining about stolen sparring partners.
The list goes on and on

It's comedy hour at the Wild Card Gym

This isn't Disney, the villains do win in real life at times. Floyd's going to drive Roach to the crazy house when TKO10 happens.

Low Key I think the Ukrainian :king: is about 4-5 years from having Manny Pac footwork. The improvement in footwork from Salido >Russell>Generic 126lb Asian has been some :mjcry: shyt.

I'm smiling like a proud dad watching his son make it. :to:

comrade vasyl he's going to need that footspeed when his hands go the way of paulie :smugfavre:

Them boys working. I can't fukking wait for this fight


They both are, we shouldn't have expected anything else. There is motivation. While there is always some for Manny when he fights Juan. When has Floyd been motivated like this? It's been a long time. This doesn't correlate to a win but I'm sure they are pushing themselves to the limit. Stakes are higher. Roach said that he kicked Dave Chapelle out of the gym, Floyd is controlling video for his camp. There is something new about this fight every day, most of it fluff and bullshyt but the shadow of this fight looms greater than most sporting events of my lifetime. I'd be flipping out over Kirkland vs Canelo because while I think Canelo is going to win, I wouldn't be surprised if he hit the deck. Kirkland without Ann Wolfe is a non-starter for me. Many other fights. I don't know why GGG is fighting someone that isn't even in the top 10 by the Ring in Middleweight rankings, even looking past Abel's statements of giving him a southpaw. Boxing is back in the public eye but this is the fight that we've been waiting on for 6 years. Not too many times can you hold onto something for so long and have it come true and still be at the top of the sport. Federer, Djokovic and Nadal play each other constantly. Bird and Magic played in many Finals series. The thirst is there and its very real. I'm on record by saying that the fight will be anti-climatic but the ride getting there is fun to me. Like hunting, the chase is better than the kill. I'm having fun with it all.

It's funny to see people comparing the speeds to Manny and Floyd on those IG Clips. For one, Manny is shadow boxing at spurts for about 20 seconds. I'm sure Floyd could do the same and look similar. I've seen people do what manny does in my old boxing gym (not ass fast but impressive nonetheless).

Everything floyd is doing as far as punches involves 16oz Grant gloves.

They both look real good this far out. Can't wait to see 24/7 and All Access

imagine the pressure that comes with fighting for 9 figures:merchant:

i sometimes feel like im the only non black breh who wants floyd to win:manny:

hell, it even seems like black people are starting to turn against him now:patrice:

i like the fact that he stands for independence, and not being at the mercy of some snakey promoter:salute:
