    Freddie Roach says he wants to see the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. mega fight happen right now while both fighters are still relatively in their primes. Roach didn’t seem as anxious for the fight to happen last year when Mayweather was agreeing to weight penalties, glove sizes, and purse splits.

    “They’re both in their primes right now,” Roach said to esnewsreporting.com. “I think it needs to happen now. People in the world are getting tired of it, and losing interest. We have a two year window on our side. If he [Mayweather] doesn’t come to the table, Manny’s going to go on and be a politician. Mayweather will retire undefeated and say he’s the best ever, but he didn’t fight Manny Pacquiao.”
