Boxing News World: Freddie Roach: Pacquiao beats up Floyd …

ARLINGTON, TEXAS—While Manny Pacquiao let loose his battle cry for either Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Sugar Shane Mosley, Coach Freddie Roach was also in a most pugnacious mood after their one-sided and often monotonous victory over reluctant Joshua Clottey.
Pacman left no doubt that is ready, willing and more than able to accommodate either the creaking Mosley or the slick Money may as his next opponent. The Manny Pacquiao Barbershop—We cut Heads—will be open for business after Pacman finishes his Congressional campaign in Sarangani Province on may 10, nine days after Mayweather and Mosley handle their personal business in Las Vegas.
Now Roach, still fuming at derogatory remarks made by Mayweather uncle, trainer and former world champion Roger about his boxing tutor, the Hall of Fame trainer Eddie Futch, suggests that he may put a beating on the “Black Mamba.”
Roach had Futch widow, Eva, as his personal guest Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium. The lovely lady from Sweden has limited vision, it seems, and had a guide dog with her at the event attended by 51,000 lively fans in Jerry Jones glittering football playpen. Eva had been in Europe dealing with the recent death of a parent.
“Roger Mayweather is a no class gashole,” Roach told some intimates Saturday. “Roger talks like a scumbag and it burns me that he keeps making slimeball comments about Coach Futch, who is no longer around to defend himself.
“I think I will let Manny kick his nephew’s ass and then I will beat up this bum, Roger. Roger has no class but then again none of the Mayweathers has any class.”
You know class, it rhymes with showing your a–, I mean showing your mule, your donkey, whatever.
Does anyone think a Mayweather-Pacquiao promotion won’t be reminiscent of the Hatfields versus the McCoys?

Martin Scorsese and De Niro Teaming Up for New Mafia Movie
Posted by: | Comments
BERLIN — Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio tried to keep thefocus on “Shutter Island,” but the assembled press weren’t alwayson the same page at Saturday’s news conference at the Hyatt.
One man made a plea for Scorsese to help actor Nick Nolte, who hasfallen from Hollywood’s graces in recent years, while a Spanishfilmmaker pitched himself to DiCaprio, saying he wanted to give himhis card.
Other questions that seemed to annoy the moderator included onefrom a lady who asked DiCaprio to say something in German (theactor does speak some in the movie). and one reporter from KurdishTV asked, “When are you going to make your next big Mafioso film,something like ‘Goodfellas 2′?”
After initially laughing off the query, Scorsese said he hadnothing more to add to the genre before revealing that he andRobert de Niro were talking about “something that has to do withthat world. No doubt about it. but it’s from the vantage point ofolder men looking back.”
The panelists, which also included actors Mark Ruffalo, MichelleWilliams and Ben Kingsley as well as producers Brad Fischer, MikeMedavoy and Arnold Messer, did manage to keep a good chunk of thepresser on point, for example tackling the movie’s theme of fearand paranoia, and how it related to the 1950s setting.
The movie is based on a novel by Dennis Lehane and Scorsese andDiCaprio said that, while they did read the book, it was the scriptthat first got their attention.
“To be honest, it was the emotional impact I had reading the lasttwo scenes (that got me hooked),” Scorsese said.
Actors like Williams and Ruffalo, however, said they looked to thebook for a deeper understanding of their characters, trying to findnuggets that helped with the psychology of the roles.
“It does some of the work for you,” Williams said.
