Pacquiao's conditioning coach blasts Mayweather camp for dirty tricks


Manny Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune blasted the camp of Floyd Mayweather amid allegations that people close to the American fighter have been bribing fighters not to spar with the Filipino ring icon.
 
According to various reports, Mayweather's adviser Al Haymon is offering money to boxers not to pass on Pacquiao's camp, with the amount being offered said to be much more than what they would get as sparmates.
 
"It's childish, It's f---ing schoolyard. If I'm a sparring partner I'm not going to be bribed," Fortune told boxingscene.com.
 
Nevetheless, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has already found fighters willing to help the Filipino in preparation for his long awaited showdown against Mayweather. Still it doesn't stop Fortune from verbally jabbing the brash American's camp.
 
"Freddie has all his sparring partners lined up. So I'm sure these guys are with promoters and stuff like that," said Fortune.
 
"Al Haymon... it's just so stupid, so schoolyardish. If that's the extent of the mind games. I mean, they need to go back to school." —JST, GMA News
