Mayweather’s personal videographer, James Dayap, who once worked for Pacquiao, reportedly organized Morales’ removal after he tipped off the rest of Mayweather’s camp.

“I felt betrayed as we were friends. In fact, we were cordial to each other when we met prior to the start of Mayweather’s media workout,” Morales told Philboxing.com during a mobile phone interview.  

Mayweather’s camp also confronted a member of Team Pacquiao in Winchell Campos, a Philboxing writer who says he was there in the capacity of media.

“I’m already into sports writing. I was given a clearance by your team to attend in this media workout,” Campos was quoted as saying in the story. He was eventually removed as well. 

“It’s an open media day, MEDIA I emphasize, not opposite team visit day,” Dayap said about the issue.  

“It’s no disrespect to the Team Pacquiao members who came to the gym, but it’s just not their place to be there, at least anytime before May 2nd.”

Pacquiao and Mayweather are scheduled to fight on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. The duel is being labelled as “The Fight of the Century.” 

“Besides, if the situations were flipped, I would have never been let even near Wild Card,” Dayap added.

Pacquiao is scheduled to have his own media day at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, California on Thursday morning at 6 am Manila time.
