    So, Floyd "absolutely" wants to fight Pacquiao after Ortiz. Now Roach says he and Manny "badly" want to fight Floyd after Marquez.

    If the fight doesn't happen, either:

    1. Someone is lying (Most popular theories will be Floyd ducking or Pac wont take the tests)

    2. Bob Arum is getting in the way.

    Agreed? Unless of course the article is bull****.

    I still think Bob Arum is the biggest obstacle, and always has been.

    Pac and Mayweather have both said they want the fight.
    Pac and Mayweather are both also promoters.
    Promoters are liars.
    Hence they are both liars.

    If the fight doesn't happen after Ortiz and Marquez then frankly they can both go **** themselves. They're running out of credible opponents fast, and now's the time for both guys to put up or shut up.

    Manny running out of opponents that would guarantee a million PPV buys. Bradley, Mike Jones, those types would be closer to the 700k Clottey #. He'd have to move up to fight Chavez in a joke fight to guarantee big #'s. I cringe at a Cotto rematch.

    On the other hand, Floyd has Canelo and Khan available. Floyd has much more attractive options. Floyd has the upper hand, he'll get what he wants, or we will continue to wait.

    I'm confused. There's video out of there of Roach, right before the Mosley fight, saying that they didn't ask Shane to undergo more extensive drug testing because they had declined to do so when Mayweather. So when exactly did they agree to everything that Mayweather asked for?

    So the trainer talking for PAC



    Pac says he just wants the fight for the fans... not for himself he could care less and is happy about what he has done he don't need MAY...So obviously PAC don't want it.


    If he did he would accept no cut off...


    Also it's not just the no cut off...

    ARUM is not gonna let his puppet and main money maker get schooled until he has squeezed him for all he's worth so that is a another hurdle.

    The opinions on here regarding this topic are a lot more reasonable since the ******* purge the other week.

    Neither camps are blame free but there's definitely some obvious contradiction coming from Team Pacquiao.

    Confusing.

    Both are telling the truth, but we don't hear Manny saying it
