Manny needs to take of his panties
I been on LF for at least 4 years now and I have heard lots of Mayweather dislike mostly because of his out of ring actions but also people seem to say he's scared to fight the pacman well here you go.
Dan Rafael of ESPN.com spoke with Top Rank's Bob Arum about his statements today that Manny Pacquiao will definitely not fight Floyd Mayweather Jr on May 5, despite the fact that Mayweather is now available again after having his jail sentence pushed back to June 1, and, well, it doesn't make Arum or Pacquiao look good.
This is just a piece of it, but do read the whole thing as linked above:
I asked him, now that Mayweather was available, would he at least be part of the conversation when Arum meets with Pacquiao next week?
A perturbed Arum's response was, "Absolutely not. Nope."
Come again? You won't even talk about it with Pacquiao, I asked very politely.
"My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys," Arum said. "If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."
So May was a real possibility yesterday, but now there's no way?
"What if they fought and Manny started bleeding on the first punch?" a clearly flustered Arum asked. "I don't know if Manny is available to fight in May. I have no idea. I haven't talked to him, I haven't seen him. Seems to me, June is more likely based on what his plastic surgeon said."
As much as I don't buy into the idea that either single side is to blame --everyone is to blame -- Arum is killing himself with these quotes, and making Manny Pacquiao look bad.





















I don't know that Pacquiao really looks bad so much as Arum looks like a jackass, which he is. I'm not buying the "he's ducking him" concept on either of these guys, I just think they're both huge egotists and they want everything their way or nothing. Arum has to sell fighters so he says what makes sense, no different than White or King back in the day.
