Boxing coach Freddie Roach accused the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr. of employing dirty tricks to shake up Manny Pacquiao's training ahead of their May 2 super-fight.

In an interview with ABS-CBN's Dyan Castillejo, the seven-time Boxing Coach of the Year claimed that Mayweather's manager Al Haymon is bribing potential sparring partners to convince them not to work with Pacquiao.

"I'm hiring sparring partners, Al Haymon's people calls them up and offers more money for them not to come," Roach said. "[But] I'm not worried about those guys."

Roach also explained in the interview why he is confident about Pacquiao's performance in the upcoming mega-bout.

Why is it a bytch move? It seems smart to me


Pacquiao needs to up his pay to his sparring partners and then he wouldnt have this problem

Its fukkboy tactics 101and its only gonna hurt his legacy.

Forcing Canelo to fight at catchweight for a weight you fought at for a title twice at..

Forcing Maidana to wear soft sparring gloves he never trained in right before the fight..

Now paying off Pacquiao's sparring partners

Really dont know what to say about any nikka defending this

It's not defending it....it's trying to find the "bytchness" in it


I dont see what's wrong with playing mind games to the fullest with your opponent leading up to the fight. Hiring his old S & C coach, working with his greatest rival's S & C coach (who's also known as a convicted Steroid dealer), paying sparring partners to stay home instead.....seems like it's a full on Mental Warfare on Pacquiao and his camp, and it's working per Roach's complaint of "dirty tricks"


Brilliant plan and execution by TMT so far imo

Nah breh cut it out.. mind games is one thing, but sabotaging your opponent by paying off his sparring partners is another level... where does the line get drawn?? I guess its okay for Arum to start paying off ring judges and referees? All is fair right? :stipitsline:

I cant respect nikkas who are actually defending this bullshyt

Paying off refs and judges is actually right up Arum's alley


Again, TMT wouldnt be able to pay Pacquiao's sparring partners MORE to stay home if TR was paying them enough to come to the gym


Why doesnt TR try and pay Floyd's sparring partners? Probably, because they eating over at the Mayweather Boxing Club


I just see Mind Games going on and The Manny Team has been getting destroyed ever since the contract was officially signed

 

[Black_Jesus]

Paying off refs and judges is actually right up Arum's alley

Even if you could prove this(WHICH YOU CANT) would it be "All is Fair" then too

 

[seemorecizzy]

im all for fukkery... but save it for the press confrence...

floyd preaches equality... for there to be a level playing field and he pulling this?

let each man prepare fairly.

correct me if i'm wrong but when floyd was preaching "equality" for what he thought was a unjust Advantage in the pacquaio camp he was told such things as "who cares if hes on steroids fight him anyway" "hes scared" "the drug testing they have now is fine"and so fourth

so i don't want to hear this shyt
this is boxing, anything outside of taking steroids is fair game
this sparring boxers are free agents, they can do whatever the fukk they want

sugar ray leonard demanded a immediate rematch like 3 months after his fight with duran cause he knew he was fat and out of shape
george foremon had to get water sent to him from the united states when he fought ali
we hear about football teams getting their alarm set off in 4 am before a big game
all is fair in love and war
The game is mental just as it is physical

aint no feeling sorry for no one

 

[Newzz]

Even if you could prove this(WHICH YOU CANT) would it be "All is Fair" then too

No, because it's cheating and alters the outcome.


Paying sparring partners MORE to stay at home is not cheating...especially when there are 100s of sparring partners Manny Pacquiao can use. That's called gamesmanship (what TMT/Floyd/Haymon are doing to Pacquiao) and it's working.

Exactly. It's called Gamesmanship

Mosley Predicts Mayweather Will Out-Point Pacquiao
Posted by: Keith Idec on 3/4/2015

By Keith Idec

Shane Mosley assumed Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao would fight eventually, just not this soon.

Now that boxing’s two biggest stars have signed contracts to meet May 2 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mosley is just as eager to see it as the rest of us. But the former three-division champion lost unanimous decisions to Mayweather and Pacquiao in May 2010 and May 2011, respectively, and thus has much more perspective on who’ll win than almost anyone else.

The 43-year-old Mosley believes Mayweather will win a decision, though he didn’t seem married to that prediction when he offered it during a FOX Sports Live telecast earlier this week.

“It’s kind of hard to say,” Mosley said. “But right now I’ve been sticking with Mayweather. I think Mayweather has the advantage only because of [what] both guys have in common with [Juan Manuel] Marquez. Marquez knocked Pacquiao out and Mayweather had a fairly easy time with Marquez, moving and evading punches.”

Mosley also thinks Mayweather might surprise Pacquiao with his power.

“The better technician will be Floyd Mayweather,” Mosley said. “And Mayweather has been fighting a lot more on the inside, and throwing harder shots. And I don’t think people realize that Mayweather does have a little bit of power. Manny Pacquiao is the better fighter, meaning he’s a fighter.”

Pacquiao dropped Mosley (47-9-1, 39 KOs, 1 NC) in the third round of their fight. Mosley recovered, however, and survived 12 one-sided rounds (120-107, 120-108, 119-108).

Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) didn’t appear to hurt Mosley, who stunned Mayweather with right hands on two separate instances during the second round of their 12-rounder. Mosley couldn’t capitalize on hurting Mayweather, who regained his composure and also won a wide decision over him (119-109, 119-109, 118-110).

Though Pacquiao dropped him, Mosley can’t see Mayweather or Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) winning by knockout when they finally fight nine weeks from Saturday night.

“I think it goes 12 rounds,” Mosley said. “I think Mayweather’s going to out-point Pacquiao by moving, evading punches, and being able to do combinations and stuff like that.”

Floyd beat JMM easier, that means he will beat Manny?

Manny beat You/Cotto/Hatton/DLH much easier....does that mean he will beat Floyd?

Shane's reasoning is one of the reasons why I believe that just because you box, doesn't mean you really know boxing (as for as analyzing/predictions go) I've had nikkas in the gym say similar shyt to that or try to act all high and mighty with their knowledge since they have first experience, but when you let them talk boxing they end up exposing themselves sometimes.

As for Triangle theories in boxing, some do work to an extent, but usually they don't because the wrong ones are used to prove a point or cannot be explained good enough.

Shane left himself wide open for you comment as well as others with his Marquez statement.

Shane still that dude though.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. RESPONDS TO DE LA HOYA: "ONLY THING MY SON IS FORCED TO DO IS WHOOP MANNY"
By Ben Thompson | March 04, 2015

"Not true. This fight here will be one of my son's easiest fights," stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who responded to recent comments made by his former pupil, Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar De La Hoya. Mayweather Sr. took offense to De La Hoya suggesting that his son, undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, was forced into making the long-awaited mega-fight with 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.

"My son was not forced at all to take the fight. He wanted to. The only thing my son is forced to do is whoop Manny's ass," Floyd Mayweather Sr. added before revealing his latest poem that he's been working on for the occassion. It appears Mayweather Sr. has something to say to all the naysayers who had doubts that his son was willing to step into the ring with Pacquiao.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. LATEST POEM:

Skip Bayless? Skip to my lou
The Mayweathers are coming through

I thought you knew
Man, who the hell were you talking to

Maybe you should pay more attention
And make less mention

For one, I heard your comments about my son
Who's second to none, number one
And throws punches like a machine gun

You said he was scared to fight
Then all that changed over night
When it comes boxing, Floyd is the light

Skip Bayless and the other guys
They should all apologize
For telling America all those lies

The fight is signed, sealed, delivered and almost done
Lil Floyd once again will overcome
And still remain number one
