Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Calls For Calm, Says It Isn't Personal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

While Freddie Roach, Robert Garcia and Alex Ariza all obviously have made Manny Pacquiao’s fight against Brandon Rios extremely personal, Pacquiao called for civility and professionalism as the pay-per-view event approaches.

Without mentioning it specifically, a typically polite Pacquiao acknowledged the juvenile gym skirmish between Roach, Garcia and Ariza during the final news conference for Saturday’s fight Wednesday in Macau, China (HBO Pay-Per-View; $69.95 in HD; 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT). Footage from the trainers’ encounter went viral on the Internet Tuesday night and clearly intensified interest in the 12-round welterweight bout.

The quite before the storm,MANNY knows that if the temperature goes up it's possible will be a riot between teams in the ring or between fans,he has to say this but he will punish RIOS like he did with PLASTERITO after he had fun of ROACH!

pacquiao is soft as a sack of wet mice. marquez took it out of him when he sent pac to the moon. if rios catches him flush on that cracked chin. he's going to sleep again.all americans should be supporting rios.pac don't want to fight here and pay taxes but he wants america to buy the ppv. not in my house.

It's personal between Ariza and Roach

Kinda confirms the lying, attention seeking sack of **** that Roach is with all his "Manny is gonna avenge me" bull****.

I figured he would say something like this,after all he's a professional not a street fighter.He probably feels that getting his career back on track, as well as making millions in the process is more than enough motivation to go out and perform well.

Because he makes a public statement saying this does not mean he didn't say what roach claims he said in private...afterall the man has a political life outside of boxing...

Why am I not surprised? This has zero to do with taxes or money and all to do with your historical hatred of said boxer. Don't see you saying the same shhh about vegas fights or florida athletes that pay less taxes in those locations than poor people do in other states with actual state taxes but ok Flint.
