    freddie-roach-boxing-trainerWhen the group from UAE told the world that they would guarantee the highest amount possible for a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight with Mayweather’s guarantee being 120 million dollars, most balked at the idea especially with the fight having to take place in Abu Dhabi.

    Then there were rumors floating around that Pacquiao’s side of the bout would be anywhere between 50 and 80 million dollars. The offer is no longer on the table but Manny Pacquaio’s trainer, Freddie Roach, didn’t put much stock in the offer.

    “They talk about big fights in Abu Dhabi and things like that. I heard big talks and talks of this and that but have they ever shown the money? No,” Roach told ThaBoxingVoice.com

    But was there ever really any offer?

    “Well I won’t say that,” explained Roach “I did hear that there was an offer but who it was made to, I’m not sure.”

    If the offer was real, Roach stated, “I’d fight him myself for 200 million dollars.”
