Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao thus far have played corporate
fighters, saying little bad about each other, and why? They are a
warring couple resigned to being richer together than apart.
What the combatants in the May 2 megafight lack in verbal vitriol toward each other, their trainers Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Freddie Roach are most willing to engage.
Roach, who has trained Pacquiao to championships in seven weight
divisions since they joined up in 2001, recently said he thinks Roger
Mayweather is a better trainer than his brother Floyd Sr.
Roach reiterated last week that he believes Floyd Mayweather Sr. may be a good teacher in the gym but is "a terrible cornerman."
"He's not a good communicator," Roach said. "You only have a few
seconds between rounds to talk to your fighter and the pressure gets to
him. He starts to stutter, or he tries the tell the fighter too much,
and he doesn't get his point across."
