Bob Arum "Floyd Mayweather only fights when he is broke!"

[mysportsportal]

Talking about him and Robert G now .. would not be good for Robert, too slow.

Oh I believe it. Maybe not broke, but rich people are greedy as hell and once their cash dips even the slightest bit, they need to make it all back and then some.

With a 54-3 career record, Manny Pacquiao—the current Welterweight title holder who will take on Timothy Bradley tonight at MGM Grand—is an unquestioned winner.

But outside of the ring, he’s a bonafide loser. Or at least he was.

A Sports Illustrated article that hit newsstands on Wednesday detailed Pacquiao’s bout with gambling, an addiction that nearly cost him his marriage and a good portion of his fortune until he decided to give it up late last year.

According to SI, Pacquiao once asked promoter Bob Arum for a $2 million cash advance to pay off a gambling debt, and Arum conceded that he has wired Pacquiao thousands of dollars to casinos a half-dozen times.

“[Pacquiao] had one of the worst gambling habits of any athlete I’ve ever known,” Arum told SI. “He was addicted to it.”

The 33-year-old Pacquiao said he turned to religion and has cleaned up his personal life, ridding himself of his gambling ways while also repairing his marriage to wife Jinkee.

Pacquiao is currently listed as a -450 favorite to defeat Bradley, who enters with a perfect 28-0 record including 12 knockouts.

Pacquiao is riding a 15-fight win streak and hasn’t lost since 2005.
