Pacquiao, Rios Camps Get Into Confrontation

The Venetian Macao (Macau) - Few days before the big Pacquaio - Rios bout in Macau, things started to heat up between the two camps and it seems fight has started with the trainers. Pacquaio's trainer, Freddie Roach, got into a heated confrontation against Rios' trainer Robert Garcia and Alex Ariza. It all started when Roach approached Garcia regarding training time schedule asking them to leave.  They shared the same training gym a week before the fight with Rios' schedule 9-11 am and Pacquiao at 11am-4pm.

Then things started to heat up between both sides when Roach and Garcia exchanging "not good" words. Ariza, Pacquio's former strength and conditioning coach, who's now transferred at Rios camp after being fired, shouted at Roach to leave. Then Roach shouted back at Ariza to "make me". Then Roach tried to approach Ariza when the latter kicked Roach in the chest. Then another man from Rios' camp got involved when he started shouting at Roach. Then he exchanged heated words with Roach when the security preventing another physical confrontation.

The fight started with Roach telling Garcia to leave because it is their training time already.
