:deal Arum: "His coach Freddie Roach, who's a pure boxing guy, still thinks in those terms which is great and it makes them effective in their job but I really don't. I'm trying to weigh everything he does in his boxing career on how it will relate to the ultimate goal of being president. One of the reasons I never really was so keen on a Mayweather fight which I now truly believe is an easy fight for Pacquiao is because how Manny is going to be tainted by some of the vile things that Mayweather comes out with. Even though he'll be the good guy, God knows what Mayweather is capable of saying. It's one thing to talk about how much better a fighter he is and Manny can't do this or that, but Mayweather, who has no sensibility in this, is capable of insulting the country. The ignorance is so appalling." ****ing pussies atsch
Think anyone with half a brain knows Floyd was the main reason for the fight not happening. Sure Pac and Arum did not always make it easy but in the end always conceded while Floyd madeup new excuses to not make the fight. Almost every boxing scribe universally agrees on that, just not his rabid fans.
Maybe if Pacquiao wasn't on roids they would've fought. But if he was clean he never would have gotten where he was anyway.
They should've agreed to the testing. WTF were they going to do when there wasn't a "roadblock" behind it and it was on for March 13, 2010.
