In San Francisco, Roach pulled out a toy gun and stole a bit of the show by telling De La Hoya that he found a gun that belongs to him because “he can’t pull the trigger”, an obvious reference to Roach’s previous description of de la Hoya’s remaining skills "Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore"
The toy gun that Freddie Roach brought during the San Francisco press stop for the Dec. 6 fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao is already tucked inside a vault. For memorabilia hunters, the plastic toy gun Roach used in mocking De La Hoya over the weekend in the Bay Area, could fetch a hefty price if auctioned. The toy gun symbolizes Roach's can't-pull-the-trigger description of De La Hoya. Sorry guys, it might take a decade before it is auctioned off. The gun is in the possession of Pacquiao lawyer Franklin "Jeng" Gacal, who immediately took it after having it signed by Roach. "I will sell it after ten years," said Gacal, who joined Pacquiao in the six-city press tour that kicked off on Oct. 1 in New York. From the Big Apple, the traveling circus was brought to Chicago, Houston and San Antonio in Texas, and San Francisco and Los Angeles in California.
