Roach Not Exactly Pleased With Pacquiao's Training Location

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Manny Pacquiao has made a decision to train at home. He plans to start his training camp at a location in Baguio, Philippines on September 17 or 18. After Pacquiao finishes up his media tour for the November 14 bout with Miguel Cotto, he plans to start training immediately. Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach wanted a quiet, secret location in Toluca, Mexico. He fears the constant visits from reporters and fans will distract Pacquiao in Baguio. Both Pacquiao and Roach agree that Cotto will be the toughest opponent that they ever had to deal with. [details]

When was the last time Freddie Roach didn't moan before a Pacquiao fight?

[El Angel]

Nobody is too happy with his choice, besides Manny and his advisors. Hopefully Roach can still get a great camp in.

Well it shouldn't be because of that. I have no doubts Pac will be in terrific shape. I'm leaning towards Cotto simply because I think he's worlds better than Pac/Hatton and, while not as good a boxer as Marquez, is pretty decent in his own right. And is naturally stronger. I feel strange saying this but I can't see Manny outboxing Cotto. Which means I'm giving him a puncher's chance.

Freddy Roach needs to look at it from Pac's perspective. It's more of a hassle and distraction to have to fly to the US. Then to the Philippians, then to Mexico then to the wild card. The real reason is Roach just doesn't want to go to the Philippians. I can imagine the food is not good to an American.

Roach should just get over it and train pac like normal, If things go wrong then no-one can blame Roach, This was like the Hatton/Mayweather snr situation where Hatton trained in the UK only to move to the USA to finish off his training, If you cant give your trainer his respect of knowing where to train you dont comeback and complain when you lose..

I think Roach is a cotto nuthugger 'cause he moans a lot.
