Roach’s agent, Nick Khan, had heard of rumors of discontent between Hatton and his trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr. In a telephone conversation with Schaefer, Khan suggested that Roach would be interested in training Hatton. “Richard and I were speaking on the phone, though I’m not sure who called who, and I told him how much respect Freddie has for Ricky,” said Khan, who is Pacquiao’s former co-manager. “I suggested that after Manny defeats Ricky on Saturday, which is Freddie’s priority, that we sit down and discuss the possibility of Freddie getting together and working with Ricky.”
Meh - I just dunno about that. Mayweather has visibly done some really good things with Hatton, it was obvious in the Malinaggi fight and it is obvious on the 24/7's that I've seen. I could see a personality conflict maybe, as Alpha males usually want to be the center of attention, and the trainer takes a back seat to the fighter most of the time, except when it's Floyd Mayweather. I can't have much good to say about a guy with an estranged kid, but he really does seem to know what he's doing as a trainer. I'm kind of surprised they released this before the fight, it just seems like buildup at this point.
Thats what im saying bro at that website it says the whole story of Roach wanting to train hatton are false.
This is all getting a bit silly.. Kinda like whenever there is an upcoming Klitschko fight.. (either brother) and apparently they're getting knocked out left right and centre in sparring.
