Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Trilogy Possible According to Freddie Roach

Not once, not twice but thrice— renowned trainer Freddie Roach has reiterated an idea on how to go about he probable match-up between his ward, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr and that is for the top pound-for-pound boxers today to meet three times on top of the ring. Roach stated in a recent interview that he wants to do see a trilogy between the two— a notion he threw around way back in 2011.

“Possibly we’ll do a multi-fight contract, I thought that was the best idea in the world,” Roach declared to HBO’s Jim Lampley in a recent conversation about the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao super fight. “I’d love to see these guys fight more than once, if they split the first two, then the third could be a rubber match, and we’d have three big fights.”

Roach also used Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis trilogy as an example stating that the two heavyweights met three times despite coming from different rival channels. Same as Mayweather and Pacquiao, Tyson and Lewis had obstacles to hurdle for their big fight to happen because they then belonged to Showtime and HBO. Similarly, Mayweather from Showtime and Pacquiao from HBO will need to work together to finalise what could be the biggest fight in boxing history.

"That fight is so interesting, it could end up being a [Mayweather vs. Pacquiao] trilogy. Actually, it could be the last three fights for Manny, if the fight goes as we see it because they're both very, very good fighters so it's a fight we want,” Roach stated three years ago via an ESPN article.

Mayweather has yet to be involved in a trilogy in his illustrious career although there are a bunch of fighters he has met twice; Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo and Marcos Maidana . Pacquiao meanwhile has had classic three-fight bouts against the likes of Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez, whom Pacquiao actually has fought four times already.

For the millions of fight fans demanding the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao super fight, they couldn’t care less if the pair meets multiple times, as long as the first one happens in 2015.
