Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, is claiming that they are having trouble getting sparring partners and Roach says Al Haymon is to blame. Roach is offering the fighters money to come into camp, but Haymon is offering a much better deal. What is the deal? He's offering them more money to stay at home rather than to help Pacquiao get ready for the May 2 showdown.
"I'm hiring sparring partners, Al Haymon's people calls them up and offers more money for them not to come. I'm not worried about those guys," stated Roach. "We got four really good sparring partners for Manny for this fight, Mayweather look-alikes."
"We started our game plan five years ago, but we changed it a little bit. Definitely there will be some adjustments. I'm confident that we'll win the fight and this will be the biggest fight night of our lives. The guy is undefeated, he's a very good boxer, and he's the most talented fighter we'll ever face. He's tricky also, he's intelligent as a fighter. I believe we need to fight the perfect fight."
