Pacquiao wants Mayweather so badly, says Roach
Trainer Freddie Roach says WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao wants a piece of Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the worst way.
Pacquiao wants to pay Floyd back for all of the comments the Mayweather clan had made that attacked his characted by connecting him to performance enhancing drugs.
"Manny is really upset about what Mayweather said about him. He tried to defame his character. I've never seen Manny dislike somebody before in my life. He shows me how he'd beat Mayweather. He immitates Mayweather. He knows what he's all about and Mayweather I don't see it he was great at one time but he's slipped alot. He struggled with Oscar. He struggled for 6 rounds with Ricky Hatton. Pacquiao destroyed both guys and didn't lose a second of either round, I just don't see it.," Roach told the Leave it in The Ring Radio Show.
Roach told the radio hosts a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will happen, but only if Floyd drops his demand for Olympic style drug testing. Pacquiao has to beat Joshua Clottey on March 13. Mayweather has to beat Shane Mosley on May 1.
"He wants Mayweather so badly. They both have to win their fights of course. The thing is we're not gonna give Mayweather any edge at all though. He wants Olympic style drug testing, all this bulls**t. We're not gonna give him nothing because if you give him something he become bigger than the commision, bigger than the sport, it's like giving the first 2 rounds away," Roach said.
"We'll go by the Nevada Comission rules, by the sanctioning body rules and that's the rules we're gonna go by. If he doesn't want to fight us [under] those rules then he can go fight some girl."
