As part of his continuing effort to make himself Manny Pacquiao’s sheriff, Michael Koncz sent Coach Freddie Roach sidekick Rob Peters packing.
“Rob, who handles security and parking for Freddie at the Wild Card Gym and is one of his Boston Irish pals, came out here on his own dime or on Freddie’s. Manny didn’t pay a penny for Rob to come to Baguio,” an inflamed source told me Tuesday night.
“But Koncz went into his riot act and insisted that Rob fly back to the States immediately. I guess trainer Freddie decided it wasn’t worth making a big fuss about or upsetting Pacman in the middle of training camp so Rob flew back to Los Angeles.”
My unimpeachable source also informs that Da Pacman read my column which revealed that Koncz said in a Manila TV studio that Roach has become “a needless expense for Manny” and detailed how the fighter has clipped the trainer’s 10 percent fee for the Miguel Cotto bout by $200,000.
“Manny read your column and went beserk,” the source said. “Manny dropped a string of F bombs because he was angry that Koncz’s comments went public. The reaction in Pacland has been 99.9 percent in favor of Coach Roach. Koncz may be an oaf and a despicable cad who shines Bob Arum's shoes but Manny knows full well the special love and reverence his fans have for Coach Roach."
And the action continues in Soapland...
