WITH RENOWNED American guru Freddie Roach deciding to quit as trainer of world featherweight king Manny Pacquiao, the flamboyant southpaw champion has again lost another reputable supporter for his planned Manila outing.
World Boxing Council (WBC) founding secretary-general Rodrigo ?Rudy? Salud yesterday decided to call to a halt his ongoing negotiations with an American group regarding their colossal boxing promotion in Manila featuring Pacquiao in a rematch versus Marco Antonio Barrera.
In an official statement, Salud opted to call off the plan after learning about an ongoing rift between Roach, business manager Rod Nazario and American promoter Murad Muhammad.
