Here’s a report that will calm the nerves of Floyd Mayweather Sr.
The very humble and well-loved celebrated boxing trainer Freddie Roach revealed in an interview with Philboxing.com’s Duljoman that he may not have the time to train Oscar De la Hoya for his May 5 bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr., as he will be busy training Manny Pacquiao for a fight in April.
“There’s no way I can train him… we talked several times, but it’s just no way for me to train him… like I have no time at all… it’s impossible, I have to give up almost everybody if I have to train him, coz I know I’m gonna be exclusive for him and I just can’t do that,” Roach told Anthony ‘Duljoman’ Andales.
“What if you will be offered more money to train Oscar?” asked the Duljoman.
To which Roach said: “I’m a very loyal person Duljoman, Manny inspires me a lot, and I love working with him… He brings life to my gym, and inspires everybody… money can’t make me leave Manny.”
