the help of her stepbrother, Raul
Rivas, who has taken over training
duties. The boxers being managed
by Marie are unbeaten Brazilian

something in me. He believed in me
when nobody else did."

Roach saying lOst 5lbs would be
acceptable - this after it was first
reported the Los Angeles coach

more difficult to agree upon with
Pacquiao's lawyers demanding a
65-35 distribution of the revenue.
