Manny Pacquiao’s trainer says he fears Floyd Mayweather might not turn up for Sunday’s super‑fight in Las Vegas.
Freddie Roach says Mayweather was forced to participate in this fight and there is a possibility that he would not show up.
Five‑weight world champion Mayweather was unmoved by Roach’s claims and says he will be there.
Mayweather’s trainer, Floyd Sr, has replied to the comments made by team Pacquiao.
He says Sunday’s fight is going to be one‑sided and Pacquiao is going to be put to sleep.
Six‑weight world champion Pacquiao says he wants the fight more than Mayweather and criticised the American ‑ unbeaten in 47 bouts ‑ for being money‑focused.
