Roach tiwalang maitatakda ang Pacquiao-Mayweather fight

Russell Cadayona - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines - Kung may laban mang gustung-gustong mangya­ri si chief trainer Freddie Roach, ito ay ang banggaan ni­na Manny Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Kaya naman mas lalong nanabik si Roach nang ma­kausap si Bob Arum ng Top Rank Promotions ka­ugnay sa pagtatakda ng super fight nina Pacquiao at Mayweather ngayong taon.

Sa panayam ng The Sweet Science kahapon, si­nabi ni Roach na nakausap niya si Bob Arum ng Top Rank Promotions at positibo ang kanyang natanggap na kasagutan.

“I think I’m getting close to saying it’s very close, I think we’re very close,” sabi ni Roach sa panayam ng The Sweet Science.

Halos limang taon nang ti­natangkang plantsahin ang laban ng 36-anyos na si Pac­quiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) at ng 37-anyos na si Mayweather (47-0-0, 26 KOs).

Ngunit hindi ito maitakda bunga ng mga isyu hinggil sa hatian sa prize money at pagsailalim sa isang Olympic-style random drug at blood testing.

Subalit iba ang nararam­daman ni Roach, isang five-time Trainer of the Year awardee.

“It’s close. I think I know for a fact that it’s closer than ever,” sabi ni Roach sa me­ga showdown nina Pac­quiao at Mayweather.

Kamakailan ay sinabi ni Mayweather na handa si­­yang labanan ang Filipino world eight-division champion sa Mayo 2, 2015.

Sinabi naman Pacquiao na maniniwala lamang si­­ya kung makikita niya ang lag­­da ng American world five-division titlist sa fight contract.

At habang hindi ito nang­yayari ay patuloy ang angasan nina Pacquiao at Mayweather sa social me­dia.

Nagposte kamakalawa si Mayweather sa Instagram ng kanyang litrato kasama ang mga mamahalin niyang sports car na Bugatti Veyron, Bugatti Gran Sport, Ferrari 458 Spider, Lambor­ghini Aventador, Porsche 911 Turbo S at Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

Nasa background din ang isang private jet para ipa­mukha kay Pacquiao ang kanyang kayamanan.

“Floyd brags about his lifestyle and everything! I don’t care! I’m just waiting here for him to sign the contract! #fightpacquiao,” sagot ni Pacquiao sa kanyang Ins­tagram.
