Do you think Freddie Roach cares as much?

    It seems like he's pretty content with the accolades that has Pac has received, and especially with his parkinson's condition, he may not care as much or push Pac as much as in their earlier days?

    It appears that Pac has many distractions, and boxing isn't as integral to his life anymore--it's more like one of his many hobbies instead of that one passion. We all know how important of a motivator/factor one's coach can be towards driving his boxer to success. I never could tell if Roach had any influence on Pac's non-boxing life. I'm wondering if he actively tells him to focus on boxing.

    Roach doesn't seem to care as much anymore maybe because of complacency or his condition. What you guys think?

    I remember when Roach was expecting Pacquiao to retire by the end of 2011.

    I think he always especially on camera has been pretty mellow, am sure at this stage pacman is running the show. Roach at this stage can only advise Manny if he see a decline in his Training or skills its tough to convince that to a person who's had the career Manny has had in the last 10 years, as well as his ego. Roach concern should be if Pacman loses he properly be blamed for it and be replaced. Floyd Mayweather Sr may get the call lol.
