Roach squashes rumors of Fortune split up

An article written by  Salven L. Lagumbay of PhilBoxing.com titled "ROACH AND FORTUNE SPLIT UP!" is inaccurate and news to 2006's trainer of the year Freddie Roach.  Boxingtalk just hung up with Roach from his condo in Puerto Rico, and he knew nothing about this report.  Roach admits that Bob Arum wrote the trainers fee check for Pacquiao's fight against Solis, to Justin Fortune.  Roach suggested that perhaps it was a slap in the face dished out by Bob Arum.  Roach told Boxingtalk that both he and Justin Fortune agreed on a percentage that each would get, and that Justin would be sending him a check tomorrow.  Stay tuned for full exclusive interview.
