   Sports Extra:

Boxing's pre-eminent trainer Freddie Roach celebrated his 50th birthday on Friday, March 5, 2010.

PHOTOS:  Given the numerous high-profile interviews Freddie Roach will give around the March 13th bout, a Pinocchio nose would be a fitting outfit when addressing questions regarding Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (Silly Jokes)           

   None other than pound-for-pound boxer and pound-for-pound singer / politician / actor Manny Pacquiao ushered in a fitting birthday cake for his "master" at the Wild Card Gym.

PHOTOS9 Gifts for Roach

   What would be great birthday gifts for Roach?

   Events from the past couple of years provide clues as to what might work.

After the Ricky Hatton fight on May 2nd, 2009, I noticed Roach flirting with one of the MGM Grand staffers in the media room.

   Boxing's pre-eminent trainer suggested to the attractive staffer that there was a Las Vegas wedding chapel nearby.

Another gift idea - check.  

   Roach is also frequently and incessantly asked about Pacquiao's rival:  Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

The "Money" man and his friends are manufacturing all sorts of outlandish charges against Freddie's ward, which makes the picture on the right - a wearable Pinocchio nose - a perfect gift, as Roach can prove a hard-hitting point when making statements related to Mr. Undefeated.

    to all pacquiao fans:
    if you really want pacquiao/mayweather to happen. support the pacquiao/clottey fight and increase the PPV numbers. at the same time, put mayweather in a corner and shut him up...

    panawagan sa mga nasa abroad o may kamag-anak sa abroad. hikayatin silang manood ng pacquiao/clottey via PPV. imbitahin ang mga kasama o kapitbahay at mag-ambagan sa ibabayad sa PPV. dahil mas masayang manood kapag marami kayo. gawin nilang isang event ang "The Event". salamat!

    DO YOUR DUTY AS A FILIPINO. Don't turn the other cheek when a guy like Fraud Jr. attack and insult one of your own. This is the 21st century, FIGHT BACK WITH YOUR WALLET!

    BOYCOTT ALL MAYWEATHER FIGHTS!

    Don't put money into Fraud's pocket. Just watch his fight for free a week later, BOYCOTT THE PPV and watch the free replay.

    To: Zero
    I am a caucasian, not a Niger nor a Philipino, just a big paquiao fan. I'm so sure you're a Niger by the way you talk. Blame your Momma for being black with kinky hair and wide lips. I have a friendly advice to you, if you know you're not capable of having pretty children, then don't make one. Cuz sooner they will blame you cuz they are black. Nobody wanna be like your race. I'm sure you're aware of that. You experiened that since you are young.

  • Nonoy 2 years ago

    boycott will work but to double the effect all Pacquio fans must buy an extra Pacquio-Clottey PPV for a friend or family! And don't say I (just being singular) won't count! You will!!!! It will actually start from you!!

    Manny must win the PPV fight against Gayweather!! Buy extra PPV for a friend...
