    Pacquiao's team could do something similar if they want to.

    He's still paying money to keep these fighters from training with Pacquiao. Which means, he's not exactly doing anything illegal. It's the game of life and he's playing it to the maximum. Pacquiao can play the same, I don't see anyone or anything preventing them from doing so.

    Desperate or not, a man is going to do anything he can to gain even the slightest advantage possible. If it was illegal, he would be caught for it. These guys aren't competing in a dancing concert or anything generally gay-friendly. They're going to exchange blows and one of them could literally lose his life overnight.

    I didn't say it was illegal, heck I don't even know if its true as Roach like to talk a lot of bs. I'm more debating with "Walk with me" the ethics of using such practice, its not right. Like I said, if Bill Gates fought an opponent and he bough the opponents coach, gym, house and wife just to get an edge and make the other guy homeless, its not illegal but it sure as hell is not right.

    You're suppose to have a fair fight. It's like when Pac or other opponents say "you train hard, I train hard, you come at your best and I'll come at my best we'll see whos the best". This practice is a bit like, well if I'm at 100%, and you're at 80% because I bought your coach to sit aside, is that a fair match?

    Another example, in NBA, if Lakers and Chicago Bulls were to have a match to determine which team was the best. Now 6 weeks before the match the billionaire owner of Lakers decides to pay off Jordan 1 billion to sit out the match, is that fair for the fans? Did that really determine which team was the best?

    This is disgusting and cheating! This shouldnt be allowed!

    Mayweather clearly worried about pac so has to resort to cheating!

    Explain how it could be "cheating" (even if proven true)?

    Its true, it sounds exactly like something floyd and his cronies would do. Its cheating, hes stopping roach and pac from carrying out the training that they want. They being forced to change their plans.

    Why cant floyd just worry about himself, why he gotta always think about pac.

    Floyd = Desperate

    You just babbled a lot but proved neither the rumors to be true nor that it would be "cheating".
