The Pacquiao vs Rios fight is being set for the weekend and thing heated up in a Macau gym where Freddie Roach got kicked in the chest by Manny Pacquiao’s former conditioning coach Alex Ariza who is now in Brandon Rios’ camp.

Rios’ Trainer Robert Garcia and Freddie Roach exchanged words when Roach told Garcia that it was their turn to train at the gym when they are up for training from 11 to 1 pm and Rios’ camp trains from 9 to 11am but failed to leave early because of some media interviews.

"The first thing he said was, 'Get out of here you piece of [expletive]," Garcia said. "That was the first thing he told me. I was like, 'What?' He was like, 'Get the [expletive] out of here.' He called me a piece of [expletive]. Then he called my friend 'a [expletive] Mexican,' and he called [reporter] Elie [Seckbach], 'a [expletive] Jew.' What the [expletive] is that?"

Alex Ariza getting ready for a much-anticipated Pacquiao vs Rios fight said Pacquiao’s coach got physical when he only went near him, which triggered him to kick Roach in the chest where all the commotion started.

"He got physical," Ariza said. "He was going to hit Robert [Garcia]. I told him, 'This isn't Wild Card [gym].' You're not in charge here. He looked at me, cocked his fist back and I kicked him in the chest. ... When you raise your fist at somebody, the other person has the right to defend themselves."

Freddie Roach on the other hand explains his side of the story.

"[Ariza] kicked me in the chest and ran away," Roach said. "Then, one of the bodyguards [Leary], I don't know his name, but he's a strong Mexican kid, he started yelling and screaming to get out of the [expletive] gym. I said, 'What, are you the Mexican tough guy?' He came after me and that got broken up. Then, Elie Seckbach started filming and I said, 'Why is this happening, Freddie Roach?' I said, 'Are you the Jewish reporter,' and he said, 'What, are you a racist?' And I said, 'No. I just don't know your name.' "

Can this be a staged altercation to hype up Pacquiao vs Rios fight this coming weekend?
