Damnnnn, that was a wild situation. Saturday night will be explosive

Look the way i see it...Im 100% on Team Pac. But Roach should have approached Garcia with a little more respect. Garcia asked for 30 more minutes nicely and explained why. Roached went all badass on him for no reason IMO. The piece of **** comment If directed a Garcia was out of line and uncalled for. Maybe Manny needs to coach Roach on how to be a bit more humble.

No it wasn't he called him a piece of **** when Garcia said he was doing interviews and wasn't leaving. He then start on Ariza and smacks the Camera. He's a ****.

They were supposed to be gone at that time and Ariza started making fun of his condition and that's when dude flipped out. Roach is the racist who trains a Filipino guy, a Russian guy, trained a Pakistani guy, trains an Armenian guy, just trained a Puerto Rican guy, and trains African American guys? I am not seeing him fit that typical racist mold for some reason.

At a little past 11am, Roach walked in with Pacquiao’s conditioning coach Gavin McMillan, to find Rios’ camp still training. Rios had the gym reserved from 9-11am, but was forced to start later after an interview with ESPN.

The fight started after Roach approached Garcia and asked them to leave.

Garcia then responded, "We got 30 more minutes" to which Roach said, "No you don't you only got until 11 o'clock."

"Well we were here because we got some interviews with ESPN, we ain't going nowhere," Garcia said.

Roach repied, "That’s not my fault. Get the f*** out of here."

"It ain't my fault either, I ain't going nowhere," Garcia said.

Roach, growing increasingly angry, then said, "You piece of s***."

"I ain't going nowhere and don't call me a piece of s***," Garcia replied.

Exactly this.

See, I like Garcia, but people need to understand kind words don't get you everywhere, he's taking up the champs time and screwing with his plans, you don't tell someone you're taking 30 minutes of their time, it's unprofessional and ******. He should've began packing up, his time was up, and he escalated the situation by saying we ain't going no where.

Thanks for posting this video of the incident. Roach talks a lot of trash, more so then his own fighters! I personally do not feel making fun of Roach's Parkinson is "out of bounds". This "Roach" (Pun intended) has a big mouth and as far as I am concerned, "All is fair in love and war".

I can't believe Roach made this racial. But mark my words, Roach will be publicly apologizing to all Mexicans especially any fighters he has like Chavez Jr.

There was no brawl. 1 guy kicked an older guy. Then another guy just went forward wanting to hit a guy but was stop.
