Manny Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach has recently revealed that the Filipino boxing champ hates Floyd Mayweather Jr. and is against domestic violence.
In an interview with USA Today, Roach said that being a congressman in the Philippines, Pacquiao can control domestic violence in his country. He added, "That is a big plus for me that Manny does not like the guy, I think the killer instinct is going to come back a lot faster."
Having grown up in an abusive household himself, Roach witnessed how his late father physically abused his mother. Now, the boxing trainer is a devoted activist against domestic violence.
For Roach, Mayweather is "a bad guy," and he sees the May 2 fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather as "good against evil."
Roach said he has even considered calling cops from Las Vegas just let Pacquiao know s how many times Mayweather has been arrested and "how bad of a guy he is."
On the other hand, Roach said he decided he cannot go that far because Pacquiao already does not like Mayweather so he thinks they are okay.
"For the first time in my life with Manny Pacquiao, this is the first fighter he hasn't liked," Roach revealed. "I can tell."
Meanwhile, Pacquiao's promoter Top Rank CEO Bob Arum revealed he has received a draft copy of the contract between MGM Resorts and the promoters after telling Yahoo Sports there were no such existing contract.
Arum said he has sent it to their lawyers "to make sure that everything is in order" the way the deal terms say.
