Roach dangles cash for a Pacquiao fall

The wad of $100 inside Freddie Roach’s pocket – amounting to $1,000 all in all – has remained unclaimed.

Although the top trainer doesn’t wish to see Manny Pacquiao suffer a knockdown in his remaining days of sparring at the Wild Card in Hollywood, Roach is dangling cool cash so the Filipino’s sparmates will go the extra mile in their respective sessions with the pound-for-pound king.

“It’s still with me and I am telling the new sparring partners that they will be rewarded with $1,000 if they score a knockdown over Manny in sparring,” said Roach, who will preside over Pacquiao’s first sparring at the Wild Card on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

Unbeaten super-welterweight Shawn Porter will be called in to bang bodies anew but he’ll have new company in super-feather Raymundo Beltran and welter Raymond Serrano, who have replaced Urbano Antillon and Jose Luis Castillo.

Roach said Tuesday’s sparring will be for 10 rounds, while Thursday’s will go 11 and Saturday 12 rounds, the most number for Pacquiao.
