    Freddie Roach has been on record that he wants Peterson to face Pacquiao in his next fight.
    Strange considering that Roach trains Amir Khan who's trying hard to get the Peterson rematch.
    Why would Roach push more for Peterson-Pacquiao than Peterson-Khan?
    Isn't that also a conflict of interest and how does Khan feel about such?

    Roach said he'd like Peterson for Pacquiao IF Khan isn't able to get him.

    To make it appear that Pac is fighting someone who is a threat to him.

    Maybe as preparation for Mayweather's style, or maybe just the easiest fight

    We know Freddie doesn't care about Khan as much as he cares about Manny
