Roach seems to be obsessed, hope all these changes don't have a negative effect and there aren't any excuses later.

Ariza has Floyd swimming. Another excuse for the pactards, 'there was something in that water!'
Pac's excuse after the fight, 'God delivered him into my hands uh.. but errm... he has been swimming so he slipped away like a fish!'

Money has too much money
"Floyd Mayweather really has taken the expression “put your money where your mouth is” to a whole new level if the latest reports are true.
The 38-year-old boxer has reportedly splashed out $25,000 on a new gum shield...."

Pacquiao vs Mayweather is ''good vs evil'' as trainer claims Pacman motivated by Floyd's domestic abuse past - Mirror Online

Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach says that the Filipino boxer is driven to win because of Floyd Mayweather's history with domestic abuse.

Mayweather has been involved in seven alleged instances of physical assault against five different women.

In 2012, the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world spent two months in a Nevada detention facility for an attack on Josie Harris, who is the mother of three of his four children.
Speaking to USA Today, Roach said: "Manny is really against domestic violence. It is a big issue maybe in the Philippines for him and being a congressman he can control some of that stuff.

"That is a big plus for me that Manny does not like the guy, I think the killer instinct is going to come back a lot faster."

Roach also says that this is the first time since working with Pacquiao that he can sense that his man does not like his opponent.
Roach said: "(I see the fight as) good against evil, yes. I have even thought about bringing a couple of the metro cops from Vegas in to tell Manny how many times (Mayweather) has been arrested and how bad of a guy he is, but I decided I can't go that far.

"For the first time in my life with Manny Pacquiao, this is the first fighter he hasn't liked. I can tell."

Hahaha... Roach is such a douche bag.

"Floyd Mayweather is down to within three-and-a-half pounds of the welterweight limit with more than three weeks still to go before he meets Manny Pacquiao in the Fight of the Century.
Mayweather was photographed taking the scales for the WBC’s mandatory weight check 30 days before a world title fight.
The boxers are required to weigh no more than 10 per cent in excess of the 147 lb welter limit."

I say Pac smokes him early. Real early like Round 2. I say Floyd overtrains for this fight, thinking he is aging, and a quarter-step slow, he will overwork himself and he hits 147 by the end of this week. Too early, peaks too early in his zeal. Pac will be younger and fresher. Floyd needs some pop in this fight and shouldnt swim too much. Swimming builds long smooth muscle but the explosiveness will be lacking. Underwater sports could increase oxygen absorption and burn extra calories, he will come in aquatically and drained. Stamina problem for floyd in this fight. Would be great to see some Pac training photos and if he is still hav9ng calf cramps.

I told you the rubbish that Floyd lives at 147lb is rubbish he makes the weight for the fights and nourishes himself up like everyone else.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Floyd couldn't make 144, no way he 'lives' at 147, even if he is a smallish welterweight.

Could the fight be scuppered at the last minute ?

"Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has rubbished suggestions Floyd Mayweather Jr v Manny Pacquiao is in jeopardy.
Fraught negotiations have been a constant subplot in the making of Mayweather v Pacquiao over the years. Another possible hitch was put forward by the Filipino's promoter, Bob Arum, who told Yahoo Sport on 8 April that the lack of a signed contract between MGM Resorts – the venue – and the respective promoters had left what will be the richest fight in boxing history in doubt.
"I don't know anymore," Arum said on the possibility of the showdown not going ahead. "I've never been in this area before."
But Ellerbe has since told Yahoo Sports: "The notion the fight is in jeopardy is ridiculous."
