Floyd's allegations anger Manny...

Floyd's allegations anger Manny. Roach: 'The first time I've seen Manny angry at another fighter' February 23, 12:13 PM Sacramento Fight Sports Examiner Rick Rockwell In a recent interview, Freddie Roach shared with the public how the allegations of steroids had really affected Manny Pacquiao. Roach described this experience as a first for him and Manny. Let’s examine these comments further. Sharon Jones Sacramento, CA “How has the steroids accusations affected Manny Pacquiao?” “He's got a reputation, of course, and it's the first time I've seen Manny angry at another fighter. It's the first time I've ever seen him like that.” Freddie Roach, FoxNews.com In Roach’s own words, Manny was angry. It was the first time he’s ever seen Manny get angry at another fighter. I don’t see how that would bode well for Mayweather if they ever fought. Manny goes into fights without anger, imagine what it would be like if he actually disliked his opponent. I think he would destroy that opponent. I think this is another reason why Roach made the challenge to Floyd to fight for free, winner takes all. Because it really did frustrate Team PacMan and the only way to truly shut up Floyd would be to make this challenge. Notice how Floyd or GBP have not even commented on “Roach’s Challenge” yet. Roach went on to also discuss the pending lawsuit that Manny has against the Mayweathers and Golden Boy Promotions. “Pretty much the allegations are unproven and there's a lawsuit pending and I think he'll lose that lawsuit. You can't go around saying stuff like that without evidence.” Freddie Roach, FoxNews.com Brian Hilton Fair Oaks, CA “Are there any updates on the defamation lawsuit?” Ok here’s all I have so far in response to the lawsuit. I have personally emailed Manny’s attorney and have not heard anything back. So, I placed a call to his law office in the Los Angeles are and left a voice message. I also spoke to his secretary but she was unable to provide me any updates. So, until Manny or his attorney Dan Petrocelli makes an official comment, we are in the dark. If anyone has heard of any updates through others sources, please forward it to me so I may check it out. Otherwise, I will post an article as soon as I can pin down Dan Petrocelli. Conclusion Can you really blame Manny for being angry? He was attacked and publicly embarrassed with unfounded accusations by the Mayweathers and Golden Boy Promotions. He was treated like a common criminal. This should upset any decent human being. Hopefully, Manny will have the opportunity to win in the ring or in court against Floyd to get some measure of justice.

How many days of training did pacq miss d/t non-random testing that also did not screen for performance enhancing drugs? I think this may fill the public in on whats really going on here. My understanding is that he continued with his training as evident by the leg pain bs. If this is the case, then team pacq needs to explain away the lie about taking blood weakening him for 3 days and causing him to lose valuable training time. wow! no one will even dare to answer this question.

If you look at the bigger picture, I think this steroid accusation is an issue hatched by both teams with a hidden agenda. I wonder what people's reaction would be to a picture of Pacquiao and Mayweather sharing drinks at a club.

ESo now Roach wishes to pretend that he has the authority to offer fight splits on behalf of Manny? Wonder what Arum thinks of this winner take all stuff. They act like Mayweather is supposed to accept this fake offer even though both guys have fights coming up. Roach should let Manny focus on Clottey and stop pretending he can offer fight splits.

If you look at the bigger picture, I think this steroid accusation is an issue hatched by both teams with a hidden agenda. This issue is being used by both camps to make it more interesting and further hype up the bout to generate a record braking PPV buys and be called as the biggest event in boxing history.

Pacquiao shouldn't be giving Mayweather the upper hand so soon, he's letting Mayweather know that he has already got in Pac's head. Pacquiao should keep a cool head, take the tests and make the fight happen, then he can release all the anger.

My prediction: Mayweather beats his azz in court and the ring.
