    For someone so vocal even for the smallest of topics, Trainer Freddie Roach has been very quiet in the last week or 2.

    This leads me to believe that Roach knows all of this is just some kind of promotional ploy and that the fight will happen for sure. If it was in any real danger he would of steped up to the media within hours and voice his concern like he did when Pacquiao/DLH talks brokedown declaring he would forfeit his purse if Pacquiao were to lose.

    This fight will happen, one way or the other and you will all see that bad publicity is good publicity, especially when promoting a fight.





    EDIT: I also think Top Rank is playing Malinaggi very badly into making him believe he will get a fight with Pacquiao and only an idiot will think otherwise. TR isnt a company full of idiots they know whats going on in the sport and they know all the accusations made by Malinaggi, this is their sad and yet hillarious way to raise his hopes then crushing them.:rofl

    Think about it, Malinaggi is with a different promoter and brings nothing to the table. Foreman can enhance Pacquiao's legacy with an 8th weight division title, is in the same promotional company and is undefeated.

    I honestly think Arum & Co. may have put him under a gag order. You'll be hearing from him in a day or two, I bet.

    Roach wants Pac to fight Void, but looks like Void will take Void, Sr.'s advice and refuse to fight Pac.

    That's a theory. Or they know of Paulie's late publicity and accusations. So they think they can create some sort of hype from it. Anything is possible, though.

    Or could it be that Roach is a reasonable man and is to embarrassed to fight for a 30 day window of non-testing that he knows damn well is ridiculous.

    Freddie Roach mentioned to a LA Times reporter that a 5 day window right before the fight was fair......but Arum and Pacquiao did'nt jump on board.

    Could Roach be silent, now that he knows Pacquiao has been exposed?????

    The only logical conclusion one can draw from this statement is that all title fights in all weight divisions, ever fought up to this point, have been 'RIDICULOUS.'

    Void is demanding that Pac be tested like not other boxer has ever been tested in boxing history! Void is very insecure.
