Exclusive | Pacman has a plan for Floyd Mayweather, says trainer Freddie Roach
Pacquiao’s trainer has a secret strategy in mind for the Filipino legend as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career against Mayweather
Roach, in Macau to oversee China’s two-time Olympic champion Zou Shiming’s final preparations in his bid to win the IBF world flyweight title on Saturday, was confident his game plan would work and that Pacquiao would win in Las Vegas on May 2.
“I won’t tell you what the game plan is because that will be very silent. The whole Wildcard Gym [in Los Angeles, where Pacquiao is training] will be shut down and we will work out Manny’s best strategy and nobody will watch it,” said Roach.
“The cameras are only allowed after sparring and after mitts because the game plan is very important in this fight. I have had a plan for five years for this guy [Mayweather],” said the American Hall of Fame trainer.
“It has changed a bit [over the years] because both fighters have changed. But most of it is still intact and I know exactly what I want Manny to do. When I go home to training camp, we’ll start working on it.
