If you believe what the Mexican fighter is saying, his actions were in no way an attempt to make light of Roach's affliction with Parkison's disease.
During Thursday's press conference introducing the undercard fighters, Margarito issued an apology to Roach and added he hoped the 50 year-old Roach would forgive him.
Brandon Rios, Margarito's training partner who will fight in the undercard bout, has also since apologized for his role in the video.
Both men were defended Wednesday by trainer Robert Garcia, who claimed he would not allow such behavior in his gym.
Garcia later said Rios had no idea Roach was stricken with Parkinson's.
Don't expect Manny Pacquiao to put much stuck in either apology.
It would appear Pacquiao has found some much-needed additional motivation for Saturday night's fight at Cowboys Stadium.
