It was while watching HBO’s 24/7 that I learned that Freddie Roach has the debilitating Parkinson’s disease, likely acquired from his previous boxing career. In spite of sickness, he was able to train and help Manny Pacquiao attain his current boxing stature. Freddie can be quite outspoken but Mayweather Sr. is definitely quite confident and his candor borders to cockiness and flamboyance. However, he has shown some soft side when he was talking about his son, the famous boxer, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. They have an estranged relationship and barely talked to each other and as Mayweather, Sr. talked about his son, you can see that he is missing him.
I would be interested to know what the two can say after the Pacquiao-Hatton fight when the winner will be known.
