“If he wants the fight he knows whom to call. He hates me and I hate him but it doesn’t really matter. Enough of the trash talk. If they want the fight they know whom to call. Period. Period,” Arum told the press.
“Don’t listen to Floyd Sr. who’s my friend but talks too much and don’t listen to the rest of them,” said Arum, who expects a call from Golden Boy’s Richard Schaefer anytime next week with regards to Mayweather’s stand.
“The world wants to see a (Pacquiao) fight with Mayweather. I want Mayweather. But if Floyd wants 65-35 (in his favor) he won’t get it,” said Roach.
Arum, the great negotiator, then told the hottest trainer in boxing today not to worry because “we’ll not give him that offer.”
Edwin Valero, the sensational knockout artist from Venezuela, was also mentioned and like Mosley, may have shot himself on the foot. But whoever it is, Arum said Pacquiao will fight either in Nevada, Texas or Florida, but never in New York because of heavy taxes.
Arum said Valero, who’s been given the green light to fight in Texas after being banned to fight in any other part of the United States after failing a medical a few years ago, had his US visa cancelled due to drunk driving.
Arum said Valero claimed his visa was cancelled because he had a tattoo of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who is anti-US, on his body.
“He got caught for drunk driving after the Hatton fight and when he came back to the US they wouldn’t give him a visa. To compound the problem the idiot said it’s because he was wearing a Hugo Chavez tattoo on his chest. So, that makes two idiots from Venezuela.”
Arum’s remark drew laughter from the press, and then the Top Rank president said, “I’m 78 years old. I can say whatever I want to say.”
