Mayweather Sr responds to Freddie Roach!

Pacquiao Cotto Updates
Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. spoke with 8countnnews.com Thursday night and responded to rival trainer Freddie Roach’s threat of a slander lawsuit against him for comments Mayweather made about Roach trained fight Manny Pacquiao.

“If that’s what he wants to do, that’s what he wants to do”, said Mayweather Sr., “I’m just saying what I believe and what I feel.”

Previously Mayweather Sr. had been quoted in hometown newspaper The Grand Rapids Press saying:

“I believe (Pacquiao’s) on some type of supplements. I’m convinced about a lot of (boxers). That’s what they’re doing right now. Everybody should be checked a little more thoroughly. Sometimes people know what’s going on but they ain’t saying nothing.”

Roach responded in an interview with 8countnews.com’s Brad Cooney saying, “We don’t take drugs. We don’t believe in drugs. We don’t need drugs.”

He went on to say, “I talked to my lawyer and there could be a slander case right here and we will sue him. “

He added, “I spoke to Manny about it also, and we’re all on board.”

Mayweather and Roach have exchanged verbal blows before. Prior to Mayweather Sr. trained fighter Ricky Hatton taking on the Roach trained Pacquiao, Mayweather Sr. referred to Roach as “Freddie ‘The Joke Coach’ Roach” and Roach accused Mayweather of trying to steal the spotlight from the fighters.

According to Nevada State Athletic Commission Chief Officer Keith Kizer, Pacquiao has never tested positive for illegal performance enhancing drugs in any of the mandated tests required to fight there. Pacquiao’s last five fights have all taken place in Nevada.
