Roach: Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight will happen

According to trainer Freddie Roach, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is ready to agree to all of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s demands to make a super fight on November 13.

Because Pacquiao will agree to Mayweather's demands, including the request for random Olympic style drug testing, Roach is confident the fight with Mayweather will happen. He says Pacquiao will leave the ball in Mayweather's court to make the fight come off.

“At this point I feel that Manny is going to agree to everything,” Roach said to The Toronto Star. “That’s our bluff. We’re going to call his bluff. We’ll see…I can’t speak for Manny, I can’t speak for (Bob) Arum but I feel the fight will happen because Manny is going to call his bluff and say ‘let’s do it.’”

“Manny’s now a congressman. He’s going to agree with everything Mayweather wants. That’s why I think the fight will happen.”
