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.
