    Why Did Michael Moorer Leave Wild Card?

    He was a asistant trainer under Roach and seemed to be a good trainer. Pacquiao did have his best career performance in many years with Moorer as a asistant. What caused double M to leave?

          He was a bit authoritative and probably step over his boundaries as an assistant trainer... you have enough of that in the Pac camp already.

                  does not play well with others. Moorer is a bit of a weird guy and basically misanthropic. Doesn't have the people skills necessary

                      michael moore was acting like he was the owner of the wild card gym. so he got fired, crossing lines.

                          Moorer was trying to boss the little guy around.

                          I think what really happened is that Moorer kicked everyone out of Pac's room a few nights before the fight and Pac's groupies got mad.

                          Entourage > Moorer.

                              the final straw was him throwing out some very important filipinos from pac's room. . . completely disrespected them and almost put hands on them to get them out. . . CROSSED THAT LINE! Also, he couldn't even deal with people's bad breath at the wild card; people who came up to the counter. . . .

                                  I remember he charged $1 for everytime someone leans on the counter at Wild Card. It was on 24/ 7. Also, Khan and Pacquiao didnt get along with him. After watching 24/7 , MM gave the impression that Roach was slowing down and he was taking over.

                                      This was the statement.
