By Mark Lamport-Stokes LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has a theory on why the usually verbose Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been subdued during the buildup to Saturday's hotly anticipated welterweight bout at the MGM Grand. "I am wondering if he (Mayweather) is going to show up, I really do," the bespectacled Roach told reporters with a smile before the two boxers held their final pre-fight media conference on Wednesday. I don't think any fighter is afraid but I think he (Mayweather) was forced into a fight he didn't want to take. He didn't get to pick this opponent like he usually does." American Mayweather, nicknamed 'Money', is undefeated as a professional and will step into the ring on Saturday as the favorite in his bid to improve on a perfect 47-0 record.
