    The way the media constantly portrays these two as "father and son" contrasts pretty sharply with Pacquiao's perpetually ignoring Roach at will. Roach still hasn't even been able to speak to him via phone.

      This is good news for us fans. If Roach can fly out I have very high hopes as I think the only person who can twist Manny's arm is Roach.

          they have/had a good relationship especially in the beginning.

          people change with fame and money. sad but true.

          roach not only helped manny with his skills but also got him away from muhammad and got him with arum who made him into a millionaire.

          but i guess if you're an "idol" and "national treasure" you can treat people any way you like and conveniently forget what others have done for you.

            Freddie heard about the 12 million guarantee and was probably thinking Manny done gone crazy.

            It's really hard to see Freddie steering Manny wrong. He's never done so in the past, why would he now.

              you don't know what manny's "advisors" are whispering in manny's ear.

              you know how people get when around someone with money.


              as far as freddie steering manny wrong......you should check out pacland.

              people are calling freddie a "traitor" for supporting the deal and how he's in it with arum in trying to "cheat" manny out taking less money.

              yeah......arum and roach who makes their money off of what manny makes wants ricky to get more money. you know how arum always trying to hook up golden boy promotions with extra dough......
