Freddie Roach, Alex Ariza and Miguel Diaz have had a rocky relationship in the past, and one of the challenges of this Saturday night will be for the trio to set aside their differences and work together in Manny Pacquiao's corner.

Trainer Freddie Roach expects Manny Pacquiao to dominate challenger Tim Bradley, perhaps as badly as when Bradley was knocked down three times during an amateur bout.

Manny Pacquiao: "I love Tim Bradley as a brother, but we have a job in the ring that we need to do. We have to hurt people...After that, it's nothing personal."

Manny Pacquiao spoke on a range of topics after arriving in Las Vegas, including Floyd Mayweather's infamous phone call, underestimating Juan Manuel Marquez, same-sex marriage, and the business of hurting Tim Bradley.

Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, believes the fighter's marital troubles might have factored in to his sub-par performance against Juan Manuel Marquez in November.

Manny Pacquiao on how long he will continue fighting: "When it is no longer enjoyable and when my skills begin to decline, my trainer Freddie Roach has promised to tell me it is time to end it."    

Trainer Angel Garcia on his son, Danny Garcia: "If Danny takes advantage of this opportunity and does his thing on July 14, then Amir Khan will be looking up at the lights."

Tim Bradley on Manny Pacquiao: "He's got a huge fight looming over his head. The fight that everybody wants to see is Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao...but he's got to deal with me on June 9."

Bob Arum: "Tim Bradley is so confident that it's scary. I mean, he is absolutely 100 percent convinced that he's winning the fight" against Manny Pacquiao on June 9.

Although he calls Tim Bradley a "handsome" fighter, Manny Pacquiao's ready to mess up the challenger's pretty face. 

Trainer Freddie Roach says Manny Pacquiao will "beat Tim Bradley pretty easily" and is sticking to the comparison he made between Bradley and Pacquaio's second-round KO victim, Ricky Hatton.

Now in the midst of training to face Tim Bradley on June 9, Manny Pacquiao offers his thoughts on what has made Juan Manuel Marquez such a formidable opponent.

"The way to beat Floyd is to outwork him every minute of every round," says Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach. "Manny is the only fighter capable of executing that game plan."

In the absence of a bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Freddie Roach would like to see Manny Pacquiao against Tim Bradley.

Like everyone else, Freddie Roach will be eagerly awaiting the results of Bob Arum's trip to the Philippines to decide who's next for Manny Pacquiao.

Manny Pacquiao's advisor Michael Koncz said "Lamont Peterson is another option" among those being considered as an opponent in the wake of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s legal issues.

Lamont Peterson's trainer, Barry Hunter, and Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, both like a matchup between their fighters.

Freddie Roach: "I think that Lamont Peterson is a great opponent for Manny Pacquiao if the Mayweather fight doesn't happen...That is, if he really doesn't want to take the fight with Khan."
