    According to promoter Bob Arum, the cut that Manny Pacquiao sustained in his November 12 majority decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez is much more serious than anybody realizes. Evidently, Jeffrey Roth, the Las Vegas plastic surgeon who stitched up the cut immediately after the fight, has informed Arum that Pacquiao will not be able to spar until April 1, which ironically is also April Fools' Day. "I'm not on an expert on that and neither are you. Jeffrey Roth is saying he should be good to go on April 1. If he's fighting on May 5, that's a problem, because he wouldn't have the time to spar," Arum would explain to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports, essentially ruling out the possibility of Pacquiao facing Floyd Mayweather on his planned May 5 return to the ring. It should be noted that, according to Iole, Dr. Roth is currently dating Bob Arum's stepdaughter.

    When he was pressed on whether he would agree to fight later in May,

    , Ellerbe was coy.

    If they could reach contractual terms on everything but the date, Ellerbe was asked, would he consider moving the fight off of May 5 and to later in the month to accommodate Arum’s demand?

    “Let him call me and I’ll tell him what we’d do,” Ellerbe said. “I don’t need to tell you that answer. I’ll tell Bob Arum our answer.”

    On Monday, Pacquiao told a Filipino reporter that he planned to insist that Arum reach out to Mayweather’s side in order to make the fight.
    Pacquiao said he wanted to fight Mayweather and didn’t want to be blamed if it didn’t happen.

    Ali got his jaw broken by Norton (LOST) and fought a return against him less than six months later. Weigh it!

    Arum is a ****ing creep and he is not willing to throw Manny to the wolves. He would rather die first and this all to do with his blood feud with GBP.

    It's ****in killing boxing a day at a time.
