    Two Respected Insiders Say March 13 Date Is OFF

    Two Respected Insiders Say March 13 Date Is OFF
    Published by Scoop Malinowski on December 17th, 2009

    First, it was George Peterson, the trainer and manager of Paul Williams, who responded two weeks ago to a question asking his opinion on the Pacquiao-Mayweather match, by answering, “It isn’t gonna happen. It isn’t gonna happen. Some fights weren’t mean to be made.”

    Next, none other than Bernard Hopkins, revealed in a **********.com interview with Greg Leon, with an offhand remark that his inside source told him the March 13 date would be likely be canceled.

    The interesting connection here is that both George Peterson and Bernard Hopkins have direct ties to Al Haymon, the advisor of Floyd Mayweather. Peterson and Haymon are partners in guiding the career of Williams, while Hopkins has stated on the record he is “friends” with Haymon. Hopkins’ most recent fight was against Ornelas, who is the brother of Haymon client Librado Andrade.

    Could Haymon have divulged insider information to Peterson and Hopkins, which both inadvertantly leaked to the media?

    Only time will tell.

    Stay tuned…

                Pac agreed to:
                1. olympic style drug testing
                2. 147 lbs limit with the WBO WW on stake
                3. March 13 date even if he was obviously bruised after the Cotto fight

                if PBF chose to fight Matthew Hatton, then its a clear DUCK.....

                I will not be surprised to know if PBF would not want to fight Pac.....heck, Mayweather Sr. did NOT want his son to face Pac when he was interviewed after the Pac-Cotto fight....

                PBF is just doing a Mayweather.....So, what else is new?

                  It would be an advantage for Floyd to fight Manny in March 13, less rest and still bruised up. Any later date would definitely make this fight even more impossible to become a reality. I can't even wait for another 3 months, just please make it happen.
