LOS ANGELES -- Is this a little good-cop-bad-cop psychological ploy coming out of the Manny Pacquiao camp?
For weeks leading up to the May 2 mega fight between Pacquiao and unbeaten Floyd Mayweather, Pacquiao's outspoken trainer Freddie Roach has been telling a story that his fighter has a deep dislike for Mayweather, stemming from Mayweather's history of domestic violence.
Roach has called the fight "good versus evil."
But Wednesday, on a day Pacquiao invited the media for a fresh batch of interviews at his training headquarters at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, the Filipino congressman and eight-division world boxing champion said he wanted to pummel Mayweather in the ring and then have a Bible study with him after the fight.
