I think Roach is a very good - but not the best - trainer.
I thought he peed down his leg a bit during The World Awaits by not trying to motivate Oscar. He went monotone when Oscar needed energy and "a push".Comment

He's upset with the security of RWS Gym,where Pac currently trains...
It's a tourist attraction right now in Cebu..Comment

Roach hasn't handled Manny Pac well recently. Pac's business affairs are a mess. Normally, I wouldn't hold a trainer responsible for that, but Roach insinuated himself into that situation and gave Pac business advice.
Further, there is no reason why Pac shouldn't be training at the Wild Card gym. If you are a highly disciplined professional, you can train at home. Floyd and Oscar trained at home. Pac can't do that. He allows himself to get pulled in too many directions.Comment

When was the last time you saw Roach "fired up?" Roach is always monotone, it's his personality, plus since being diagnosed with Parkinson he's been more relaxed in corners anyway.
Manny has nobody to blame but himself. He's too caught up in his celebrity status and is getting very complacent. I see a Mike Tyson effect going on here where the money and his status has gone to his head. I'm definitely picking MAB to win this fight.Comment

When was the last time any trainer was able to control a fighter outside of the ring? Especially one who seems to love his rockstar status as much as Pacquiao?Roach hasn't handled Manny Pac well recently. Pac's business affairs are a mess.

Wonder what the rest of Pac's fans thik about this? Every other day it seems theres bad news coming out of the Pacquiao camp. I hope he loses just so he gets checked back into reality. I love watching the kid fight and he's great for the sport as far as excitement and press goes, but he's having some serious behavior and training issues.Comment

I, too, hope he gets his clock cleaned. I hope MAB wins by brutal KO so that Pac has to go back to square 1 and return to his roots of humbleness.Wonder what the rest of Pac's fans thik about this?
