With Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight, dubbed as the biggest of recent history, getting nearer, the two camps are intensifying their training.
Aside from that, they a re also leveling up their verbal jab against each other. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who also works as promoter of Pacquiao, has always been critical of Floyd's lavish lifestyle, something that the American fighters' camp does not really react to.
However, in the latest salvo fired by Manny's trainer Freddie Roach, they can't help but finally break their silence.
A few days ago, news have swirled that Floyd Mayweather Jr. was knocked out by his sparring partner Zab Judah. Freddy Roach revealed this news through Carlos Boogs of Boxing Scene.
"He knocked out a couple of girls (in sparring) or something like (that)," Manny Pacquiao's trainer said.
"The thing is, I got a report from one of my friends in Mexico-that one of his Mexican boys beat the s--t out of him two days in a row. So I really don't care about stuff like that. I really don't care what he's up to, because I have to get my guy ready for my fight and that's what I'm thinking about."
Reports like these have great impact in the upcoming mega bout as these can somehow condition the minds of the fans of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight.
The news has reached Floyd Mayweather Jr's camp and as expected, they denied the allegations.
"False. No. Zab is in camp. Zab is a tremendous fighter-he's been helping with the preparations along with several other sparring partners. They are really pushing Floyd, but nothing like that. It never happened," Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, told Skysports.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao Fight, which will happen on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena, is dubbed as the biggest and richest in history as it is expected to earn at least $300 million.
