Why did Manny leave Roach?

Manny made the Wild Card Gym into what it is. There wasn’t no celebrities showing up before Manny put Freddie’s gym on the map.
Roach should be ****ing grateful.Comment

Personally I think it was about money. He didn't want to give such a huge chunk of his purse anymore as I think this last part of his career is about the dough.
Even though Freddie would train him for free, I think Manny probably wouldn't feel right about that and it would be an awkward convo.
Honestly it's all about the money, I'm pretty sure of that.Comment

From what I've observed and gathered, after the horn robbery roach didn't really protest the decision. Teddy atlas did a better job of defending Pacquiao. Instead of having his fighter's back, roach instead said Pac should retire.
Pacquiao is a world class championship prizefighter. He is a pureblood alpha, and it's all about respect.
You know you won the fight, you know you're still strong, you know you still got it in you, and you get no support from the guy who's supposed to have your back and he says you should retire.
That's why I think Pacquiao fired him.Comment

He seemed to have lost control of the corner during Horn fight. Never complained to ref about Horn dirty tactics.Comment

probably to save money.
Why give roach 20% of your paycheck when already think he has nothing to offer anymore? just keep the money in house with buboy who basically like pacquaio family.Comment

You know what's funny? In pacquiao's corner, if you speak tagalog, buboy usually talks first in tagalog, and then when roach speaks after buboy, he says the exact same thing in english, buboy was saying in tagalog lolComment
