Rios vs Pac: Roach vs Rios camp at media gym day

Scott Christ of Bad Left Hook summarized the situ:

Quote :

Team Rios was reportedly still using the gym that both fighters are working out in, they were a few minutes over (Lee Samuels of Top Rank says six or seven minutes), and Roach was demanding they get out. Rios was reportedly on the treadmill at the time, while Pacquiao had not yet arrived. The Rios team stood their ground, then things got physical, with (Alex) Ariza reportedly kicking Roach (according to Ariza himself).

Kevin Iole has a little more:

Quote :

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach asked Rios trainer Robert Garcia to end Rios' workout at 11 a.m. Macau time. Rios was scheduled to work out from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., but started late because he had done interviews. Garcia asked for a few minutes. Pacquiao was slated to work out from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Roach called Garcia "a piece of [expletive]," which prompted the escalation of the incident. Rios conditioning coach Alex Ariza, who was fired by Roach as Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach, told Roach to "get the [expletive] out of the gym." Roach responded by saying, "Make me get out."
Ariza mocked Roach's Parkinson's disease several times. At one point, Ariza took a step forward and kicked Roach in the chest. As chaos broke out, Ariza said to Roach, "You're a [expletive] joke," and then used a gay slur.
Roach referred to Rios camp assistant Donald Leary as a "Mexican [expletive]," which prompted Leary to swing at Roach. A Venetian security guard struggled but managed to control Leary.

Mostly in Roaches side on that.  Rios camp is full of ass hats.  Best is Rios trainer talking about how people need to be professional right after kicking a disabled senior in the chest then making fun of his Parkinson's disease, real class.  Roach doesn't look great though, but not as bad imo.

Rios was the one back when Pac was fighting Margarito who was in that video making fun of his Parkinson's, I'm sure he hasn't forgetting. Manny is gonna destroy him on Saturday though

119-109 pac.

Rios has a great chin though.
