Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Says Freddie Roach Fired Alex Ariza

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The fragile professional partnership between Manny Pacquiao and Alex Ariza apparently has been broken.

Pacquiao stated during a “Live Nation” chat on Monday that trainer Freddie Roach has “fired” Ariza, with whom Roach has always had a contentious relationship. Rumors of Ariza’s departure from Pacquiao’s camp have long swirled, but Ariza always overcame Roach’s very public disapproval of the outspoken strength and conditioning coach being a part of Team Pacquiao.

He doesn't say who his new S&D coach is. He should hire Memo!

Maybe Roach doesn't want to risk having Arzia with all the random drug testing involved in this fight

If I'm not mistaken Memo will work with Rios.

Pac needs a better expert to disguise his roids. Memo is busy with Marquez.

Pac will do fine without Ariza, Roach can get him in shape

Nah, he isn't working with Rios, they were going to work together but Rios said they couldn't work out an agreement and went different ways. It's on the live chat.

You mean the first guy to make Pac run away from tests for $40 million? Yes, him.

Exactly. And Roach knows that Ariza has been giving Pacquaio some ped shakes. Either way, for this next fight, because of using either VADA or USADA, everything has to be legit. Ariza is useless without his shakes. He abandoned Amir when he knew they were doing VADA.

Pacquaio is in trouble this next fight.
