Is this a little good-cop-bad-cop psychological ploy coming out of the Manny Pacquiao camp?

For weeks leading up to the May 2 megafight between Pacquiao and unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao’s outspoken trainer, Freddie Roach, has been telling a story that his fighter has a deep dislike for Mayweather, stemming from Mayweather’s history of domestic violence.
