Can’t they just play fair?

“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 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.

The report noted: “Roach 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 explained.

He then added, “[But] I’m not worried about those guys.”

Roach reiterated that he is confident about Pacquiao’s performance in the upcoming mega-bout.
