MANNY Pacquiao's former conditioning coach Alex Ariza bad-mouthing his former employer is to be expected, especially from someone who is so full of himself.
I dont know if he has yet to realize the fact that the last two years, Ariza himself was the source of distraction within the Pacquiao camp.
The reason why Manny was no longer paying attention to him was quite obvious: Ariza has lost the respect of the 'Pacman.'
Ariza is the same guy who tried to deny that Manny smashed the glass table top at his Mandalay Bay suite out of disgust after his 'know-it-all" conditioning coach arrogantly ordered his employer to head on to sleep. (This was three nights before the Pacquiao vs Marquez in 2011)
Little did Ariza know that Pacquiao was up all night because he was waiting for his wife Jinkee who decided at the last minute to make the trip to Las Vegas.
Naturally, Ariza has since defected to the camp of Brandon Rios, Pacquiao's opponent this coming November.
As Manny Pacquiao prepares to ride out the final years of his great career, Ariza is one distraction he can do without.
