Freddie Roach came out with something unique that his long-time partner Manny Pacquiao may have just known recently.
Roach revealed he is offering $1,000 to every sparring partner they hire if they can’t send the eight-division world champion to the canvass. However, no one has been successful yet.
“Manny doesn’t know that. I’ve always kept it a secret, but for every sparring partner I hire, I say, ‘You knock him down, I give you a thousand bucks. And I’ve kept a thousand in my pocket,” Roach said in an interview with SunSport.
They continue the build-up for the best version they can create out of the 42-year old Pacquiao before he faces undefeated unified welterweight champion Errol Spence, on August 21st.
And now that the fight is nearing, a larger crowd is coming in to witness Pacquiao train at the Wild Card Gym.
It is a bit troublesome for Roach, so he hired security to watch the gates of his gym.
However, he doesn’t apply strict rules on the gym as he knows people love to see Pacquiao.
