Roach:Pacquiao will fight in November
The anticipated match between top pound-for-pound fighters Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is still up in the air, but trainer Freddie Roach assured Manny will fight this year.
“I don’t know what’s going on. I’m staying out of it. I just know Manny will be fighting someone in November,” Roach was quoted in a BoxingScene.com report by Ruslan Chikov.
Negotiations for the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout have been raised again but the finality of the agreement is still afloat.
“We hope the opponent is Mayweather. If not, we’ll fight someone else and we’ll be ready,” added Roach.
Recently, Pacquiao has agreed to have himself blood tested 14 days before the fight.
Since then, Mayweather’s camp has been mum after Pacquiao’s pronouncement.
Roach, commented on Mayweather’s match against Mosley last May 1 at the MGM Grand.
“You can see in the Mosley fight that his legs are not there. He’s [Mayweather] a very good fighter, but my guy is better and I know my guy can beat him,”
