* * If Manny Pacquiao Is Cheating, "God Is Going To Solve The Problem"

WBO welterweight champion Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao will fight Joshua “The Hitter” Clottey March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs), Ring Magazine’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, was tentatively slated to battle former WBC welterweight champion “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather on the identical date that he will now scrap Clottey (35-3-0-1, 20 KOs).

Unfortunately, the glamorous matchup pathetically disintegrated when the Pacquiao and Mayweather camps could not agree on a drug testing protocol for the contest.

“I know Floyd is the best,” said Mayweather’s father, Floyd Sr. “But when your opponent uses something illegal, even the best can get hurt.”

Mayweather Sr., a convicted cocaine smuggler and trafficker, offered zero evidence to validate his slanderous allegations that Pacquiao is a longstanding juice-head.

The accusations made by the loony patriarch of the Mayweather clan are further unfounded when one recognizes that Pacquiao has never once tested positive for a banned substance in his career as a professional boxer.

Roach: ‘Life goes on without Mayweather’

“Life goes on without Mayweather... We did our best to appease him but he wouldn't go along with it,” Pacquiao’s trainer told ESPN as quoted by Agence France-Presse.

“I don't think he wants to fight (Manny). It was a smoke screen for him to say no.”

Roach said this after the press conference for “The Event,” which is headlined by Pacquiao and Ghanaian Joshua Clottey. Their welterweight title bout will take place on March 13.

The acclaimed trainer declared that the Pacquiao-Clottey clash “is going to be the Super Bowl of boxing,” reported Reuters.

The football reference is due to the fact that “The Event” will be held at the Cowboys Stadium of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Despite this declaration, Roach disclosed to ESPN that Pacquiao “is disappointed the fight is not here.”

The botched Pacquiao-Mayweather fight was scheduled on March 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Jones made a $25-million offer to host the bout at the Cowboys Stadium but fight negotiators chose Las Vegas.

“I want to beat this guy's ass, believe me, but he won't give us the opportunity... We will fight him any day of the week. But he doesn't make the rules,” continued Roach.

The blockbuster bout was called off because the fighters’ camps disagreed on the drug testing protocol. Mayweather and several members of his team alleged that the pound-for-pound king was taking performance-enhancing drugs.

“There are always doubters out there but Manny Pacquiao is clean… He has passed every drug test in the world,” Roach stated.

Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao

Roach is the owner of the Wild Card Boxing Club/Gym in Los Angeles, and is currently one of the most popular trainers in boxing. Mickey Rourke, when he turned to boxing mid-way through his acting career, hired Roach to train him in Hollywood, CA. When Rourke decided to quit boxing, he gave gym equipment to Roach, and it can be found in the Wildcard to this day.
Roach's prized ward is seven-division world champion Manny Pacquiao. Roach also once trained Oscar De La Hoya for his May 5, 2007 superfight against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.. His first world champion was Virgil Hill, whom he took over from his own former trainer, Eddie Futch. Roach has trained 25 world champions to date.
In the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), Roach has trained former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski and was one of his primary trainers for Arlovski's victory over Ben Rothwell on July 19 at Affliction's inaugural show.
He received mixed criticism from the MMA community after commenting on current WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko's boxing skills. He claimed that Fedor would be "killed" by his client Andrei Arlovski during their fight at Affliction: Day of Reckoning, should the champion remain standing. On January 24, Fedor knocked out Arlovski with an overhand right in the first round. Roach later criticized Fedor in saying "he just got lucky, I think."
He is also the current trainer for British Boxer Amir Khan, who became the WBA light welterweight World Champion on 18 July 2009, under Roach's tutelage.
