Trainer Freddie Roach Says Manny Pacquiao Is Broke & Has To Keep Fighting

 

Boxing trainer Freddie Roach, made a pretty eye popping comment recently when talking about his fighter Manny Pacquiao.

During an interview Roach reportedly told author and boxing trainer Brin-Jonathan Butler, that because of Pacquaio's large entourage and big heart he has to keep fighting, no matter what.

He’s broke because of that and all the people he flies around to his fights," Roach said. "He goes through money like you wouldn’t believe. He can’t say no. Of course he’ll have to keep fighting. He does now. He won’t be able to stop – it’s his life.”

The Filipino champion made $20 million for his fight with Shane Mosely in May 2011. He's had previous paydays of $15 million for facing Oscar dela Hoya in 2008, and $13 million for each fight against Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto in 2009. In 2010 he got $12 million to defeat Joshua Clottey, and an additional $20 million when he destroyed Antonio Margarito that same year.

With that kind of income it's hard to imagine Pacquiao would be having financial problems, but Roach knows him probably better than anyone else.

I just hope Pac Man doesn't end up like countless former boxing champions who squandered their millions.

I dont believe it. Roach probobly just doesnt agree with his spending habits
Comment by paul on August 22, 2011 at 1:21am
I don't believe this. If he was broke other news sources would say he was broke. He's probably spent his recent 20mill from the Mosley fight on some s*** as of late. But it's not like he's spending his money like Floyd or whatnot. He's not dead broke, but I can bet he's just spending his money too fast.
