Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has a lot to say about Floyd Mayweather right now. And it doesn't sound like he's afraid to say it.
At the moment, Roach—who talked some trash about Mayweather and his father earlier this week—is in Macau working with Chinese boxer Zou Shiming. But during an interview that took place today, he shot down a rumor about how he had reportedly hired armed security guards to trail Pacquiao in the weeks leading up to his fight with Mayweather and also took a shot at Mayweather in the process.
"We will work with Manny in private to prepare for Floyd—that's normal," he said. "But to say I've ordered armed security is absolute bullshit. Manny is the perfect role model and Mayweather is not. Manny will be performing a public service for boxing when he beats Floyd."
Roach should probably save some of the ammo that he's been firing this week. There are still about two months remaining until the Mayweather/Pacquiao matchup, and he's going to need it once we get closer to fight night.
