One of Roach?s leading fighters, Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines, is currently preparing for his eagerly awaited match with Mexican superstar Marco Antonio Barrera, the world?s No1 featherweight, in San Antonio on 15 November.
Martin Elorde, Pacquiao?s manager, is unhappy at the prospect of Roach leaving his boxer?s camp to spend a fortnight in Scotland with Arthur and has threatened to withhold the trainer?s $25,000 purse if he does.
