Big deal...
The kick to the chest is what ended it for me. Ariza you lose!
Kick to chest? Who kicked who?
Ariza kicked Roach to the chest.
Re: Garcia/Roach camp blowout.
I know it's not cool to make fun of someone's condition like that...but Roach cannot always get pass for being an asshole because of Parkinson's. Pretty pathetic behavior from both camps.
Re: Garcia/Roach camp blowout.
I don't know if this was staged but I can see Arum setting up a rife and getting more than he bargained for. Garcia said Arum told them that they have to do interviews for 15 to 20 minutes so their gym time would run over. Garcia's camp only gets the gym from 9 to 11. Roach's camp gets it from 11 to 4 so that is unfair to start. After the scuff the clock showed 11:10. I guess Roach didn't know about the interviews and running over time and Pac wasn't even there so Roach's approach was quite harsh. He went over to Garcia in the middle of that interview and said to Garcia "Your time is up" and "Get the f&#k out of here you piece of sh#t." By time Pac gets there and he wraps his hands the Garcia camp is out of there. Ariza is the worst to me because this is really between the trainers but Roach is far from innocent and I think people are giving him a pass because of his condition. Some people have their bias and will root for and against their predetermined guy(s) so they will spin it and see it how they want it to be. Anybody neutral or willing to set their bias aside will see this incident for what its worth and not all of a sudden cling to other stuff. Controversy sells and Arum gave us a good scoop of it right here. This will in fact bolster the PPV...which as a boxing fan I can appreciate but the road is low class.

The one that would have me thinking it was staged is no one in there right mind would have the camps exiting and entering at the exact same time. That and the biggest point being made about 'racial'. I've never once in my life heard someone ...in the heat of anger and moment mind you...drop someone's Nationality as a "racial slur". I mean if someone looks at me and calls me a 'damn American' I don't find it racial or with hatred...save for Miles??? In which case it would follow "you fat fascist American" I suppose?! I dunno, in hindsight the thing did have a bit of a backstage WWE promo to it. Hey it beats Adrien Broner filming himself taking a shit in a Popeyes chicken bathroom in order to get publicity.

Thats a good point. Its a guarantee they will cross paths. I personally can get on board if it was staged but keep the racial and disability content out of it. Maybe Arum arranges this time slot in hopes of controversy and Roach's camp and Garcia's camp were unwitting pawns.
Re: Garcia/Roach camp blowout.
Do not blame Arum for everything, next they will say he shot John F Kennedy. :)

Maybe I am being too harsh on Arum. He is such an easy target, my bad. I'm actually giving him credit because it is brilliant. He wouldn't know that racial and disability mocking would come of this. But I'm just trying to make sense of why did he not tell Roach that Garcia's time will run over.

This motherfucker talks like he's in middle school sounding dumb as fuck. Without boxing, this dumbass would be selling tacos out of cater trucks.
War Pacman!!!
The Rios thing was years ago. He kept it real professional here. Whats your take on Roach calling dude a stupid Mexican and telling security to get that f*&^ing Jew out of here?
May have been years ago but that doesn't change the fact that it was one of the lowest thing a person can do. That was some bush league shit straight up.
I dont think Roach would have made a racist remark for no reason. Something had to trigger him.. It was random because he just walked up outa nowhere and called Garcia a piece of shit.
Im convinced that something else happened before the camera started rolling or some other shit leading up to that day..
Ariza though man. Can you believe this fuckin guy. He's like a pussy ass weasel..
I agree with you on Ariza the dude is just not a class act. He makes more noise than all other S & C coaches combined. But on camera afterwards Roach admits that before he came over to Garcia he was emotional having just got off the phone with his girlfriend.

Yeah I have to agree with that also. Its only fair. Knowing his own history with Ariza, Roach could have sent someone else to claim the gym time but the fact remains that the whole Garcia crew appeared to be claiming the spot and then they overreacted almost to a gang mentality. Fact still remains that they threatened to hurt a man where a punch could end his life when they could have just left it at "fuck off" and ignored him.
