Arum: Maybe May 5th isn’t a good date for Pacquiao-Mayweather; Pacquiao has a serious cut
By Chris Williams: It looks like Bob Arum is already trying to get out of matching his cash cow fighter Manny Pacquiao against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5th, because Pacquiao sustained a bad cut in his last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. Is Arum stalling for time? As soon as Mayweather beats Pacquiao the gravy train is going to come to a screeching halt. I smell fear.
Roach to Mayweather: Manny will be bigger than you in the ring
By John F. McKenna (McJack): It is well known that World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s) is a master when it comes to trash talking. He has used his trash talking for years as a way to enhance his image as one of the premier bad boys in boxing. Recently in one of Floyd’s ongoing and seemingly unending tirades against his number one rival WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) he referred to Manny as the “little man” and said that “he can come get it on May 5th”.
Khan: The boxing public wants to see me fight Mayweather
By William Mackay: IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan may have the fight of his life next week against Lamont Peterson, but Khan is still talking about Floyd Mayweather Jr. and likes his chances against Mayweather Jr.
Roach to Mayweather: Don’t call Pacquiao “little man”
By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach came to his fighter Manny Pacquiao’s rescue in a recent interview after reading how Floyd Mayweather Jr. refereed to Pacquiao as little man. Roach didn’t care for that comment despite the fact that Mayweather is at least a couple of inches taller than the 5’6” Pacquiao and has the longer arms. What’s the problem with Mayweather calling Pacquiao “Little man”? It’s accurate, isn’t it? He can’t exactly call Pacquia “Big man,” can he?
Mayweather Finally Ready for Pacquiao
By Rasheed Catapang: You are only as good as your last job. By that measure, Manny Pacquiao is nowhere good enough to beat Floyd Mayweather. Might be a good thing though. That might just be the catalyst that will finally get us Floyd to be in the same ring with Pacquiao.
Mayweather-Pacquiao: Scores to be settled on May 5, 2012
By Babatis Banda: With each passing day we keep our fingers crossed, that nothing negative pops up to prevent the possibility of the biggest boxing event in history from happening. So far, all the news is encouraging, with both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. indicating that it may finally happen.
Manny wants Floyd next
By John F. McKenna (McJack): World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) was quoted by his attorney Franklin Gacal as saying that he wants to make WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s) his next opponent.
Arum will be doing Pacquiao a big favor by flubbing the Mayweather negotiations
By Chris Williams: I’m fairly certain that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao really wants to fight WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. next. But I’m also even more certain that Pacquiao will get badly beaten in that fight in a humiliating loss that goes a long ways towards removing Pacquiao as a pay per view star.
Khan looking past Peterson, talking Mayweather
By William Mackay: Former some reason IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan can’t seem to stop talking about his dream fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. It doesn’t seem to matter what Khan on his plate, he still goes back to talking about Mayweather.
