    what like khan handled his business at lightweight did not even fight the best lightweight in lancashire no brit title no euro title no world then cannot avenge his loss, jumps ship telling everyone it made him into the world champion he is nothing to do with training with the best fighter in the world and having one of the best trainers in the world is this the kind of business you mean ?

    Beating Bradley the No.1 140 fighter and becoming the Unified WBA/WBC/WBO The Ring Title 140 champion, that business.

    A bit odd for Roach to say that Mannys his guy in such a meaningless interview. He could have easily given a more ambivalent answer if he wanted. He didn't even seem bothered about the prospect of facing Khan.

    I think the Ariza incident has definitely affected Roach's relationship with Khan.

    I think I have heard this from Roach before, and he said the same thing Pac is my guy, its just the way its is, Roach has known Pac for longer so its only natural for him to have a greater bond with Pac.

    Until Pac retires he will always be Roach's No.1 fighter.

    I understand that, but I find it odd that he would just say it like that.

    I remember before the maidana someone mentioned a khan - pacquiao fight and he said he doubt it would happen because they're friends, and brought up the Khan - Mayweather possibility.

    Yes but if Khan keeps winning and Mayweather keeps hiding then Pac might not have many options, at the end of the day when there is big $'s friendships and bonds go out the window.

    A member of Pac camp have pointed this out and this is why they requested Khan not to spar Pac.

    Ariza mentioned that Team Khan had continually messed both he and Roach around re. Money. After Khan shitted on Ariza, I'm not surprised if a rift has begun to form between Amir and the Wildcard.
