Steward is a ****ty trainer. Expect to see Pac lose with him in his corner.

There's no mention of Steward being considered as Pacquiao's trainer so how come Stewards name pop up here?

I've just read the latest on this and Roach said he will still be Pacquiao's trainer. He also blasted Gacal and Koncz who were alledgely on Arum's payroll.

Here's an excerpt from the whole article.

"So why is the Golden Boy deal so much better than Arum's? Roach does not hesitate to explain.

"Manny got a good deal from Golden Boy," Roach said. "He got a good deal in their offer and Manny himself negotiated to make it even better. In Arum's deal,. the split on the money from promotions is 50-50. In Golden Boy's deal, the split is 90-10 in favor of Manny. With Golden Boy, they gave him the Filipino TV rights exclusively for all their shows, not just for Manny's fights. It is for every show Golden Boy does."

Roach also wanted to clear the air about reports that De La Hoya promised that he would hire him as his trainer. In exchange, Roach had to deliver Pacman to the GBP fold.

"That is 100 percent not true," Roach said. "I've had talks with Oscar at different times in his career about me training him. But they were only talks and the timing was never right. So those might be rumors but I am telling you they are false."

If I knew that I could get between two people; like divorced parents, who hated each other - it would be easy smeezy to play them against each other... Maybe Paq will get a knew Lamborghini out of this...

One thing I'm sure of is that pac and roach are inseprable.

What if Pacquiao doesn't want the big fights? What if hes bitching out on the rematch with Marquez and the Barrera? I don't know this **** is way to fishy, there is no incentive to go with Arum! I think Pac is running..maybe he wants to take it slow now and fight easy opponents so he can continue to look good... I wouldn't see why though if hes at his best right now. I wonder whats going through his head... either hes scared or hes ****** or someone is forcing him.

This theory is the most far-fetched I could imagine.

It doesn't have to do a bit with being scared. If he was scared, he would not be seeking a rematch with Morales when he was clearly beaten in the first fight.

He even admitted in an interview that of all credible opponents, he wants Barrera next.

It's got to do something with money on the table and his tendency to sign up with who he's currently talking to.

Pacman and Roach are working verry verry well together, so why change the trainer? I think its to riskfull, Steward is not fpr Pacman!! But i think they wont change the trainer anyway.

[amaru]

its a no brainer for manny, if he wants to fight the best opponents out there, SIGN WITH GBP!!!! he can fight barrera for his WBC belt, rematch marquez, fight guzman, and even move up to 135lbs to fight chavez for his IBF belt if he wants too, all roads lead to GBP!! why woul he sign with bob arum and top rank?? it dont make no sense??

I thought Manny was a legend in the game, and I don't mind his commentary on HBO neither.
