Lets say Pac-Man puts in a terrible performance, looks a shadow of his former self and is KO'd again Will Freddie Roach leave Pac-Man ?
I think it will be more like roach will tell manny it's over and he won't believe it and he will get a new trainer and continue on.
I think a similar thing happened when Toney had his second fight with Peters , Roach said he should retire and Toney stormed out the gym and got a new trainer Roach says himself that he fought too long and should have quit earlier so i think he will advise Manny to quit Though even if Pac-Man says he retires i reckon he will carry on i just think the whole Politics thing in the Philipines wont be enough for him and he will struggle to give up the boxers life , i heard many times when in Thailand that promoters there want to eventually do a fight with Manny and Buakaw the Muay Thai fighter in Bangkok , but as a boxing fight not Muay thai.
If he loses to Rios i think it prudent that Roach taps him on the shoulder and calls it a day. Roach is not good health wise and pac has had a stellar run, but his time is up, or soon will be. Pacman will make heaps fighting Buakau. Both are absolute legends in there fields and will draw so much attention that maybe this can be the last hurrah for Pacman and Roach as a Team unit. Id bet it would be a career high payday for both:deal
I can see Roach hanging 'em up once Pac decides to call it a career. (Freddie can move to the PI's and get crazy ***** over there)
