[COACH WEBB]

Ok, I give up. This fight is impossible at this point. It's so clear as day somebody doesn't want the fight. Top Rank has made it's ammends and they were very accommodating ammends. There's nothing left that seems right. Let's put it on file that Floyd doesn't want this ****. Enough trying to force him to do something he doesn't want to. Yes it's sad day for boxing, but in the end, Manny don't need him. He needed Manny more and in history, it will show he needed him more than Manny did.

History will ALWAYS link Manny with ducking the FLoyd fight and ducking RANDOM blood test...the latter is WORST. You can believe that. This is why he chose to duck the RANDOM blood test...

So far the excuses have been.

1. Needle Phobia (no issues before, and Manny even snacks during tat work)
2. Disruptive to his training (Yet Shooting movies, preparing for concerts not an issue)
3. Will make him weak LOL.......
4. Superstitions LOL...... this one really they must have been joking...or must of been lost in translation.....
5. Manny was disrespected and will not then do the test out of principle (yet they looking at Paulie as an option LOL......)

What's lost in all of this is who will Floyd fight, in not Pac? Will it be Matthew Hatton as he originally expressed interest in fighting? Is that acceptable in comparison to Pac/Malignaggi?

because Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao

Everybody seems very negative about Malinaggi, I don't know why?

This could be a very interesting matchup. Malinaggi is very brave, great chin, clever boxer, and is always prepared to "put his money where his mouth is".

And, don't forget, if Arum thinks it's a good replacement, the chances are that it is, and will be.

Arum takes great pride on making good fights and good matchups, unlike Goilden Balls, and is undoubtedly the premier promoter in the business, by a large margin.

So I'm inclined to think that it would be an entertaining fight at least.


And, although he doesn't have a great punch, if he catches Manny coming in, the way Mayweather and Manny both caught Hatton, he can hurt a guy.

Just my opinion....

Yep Manny is where he belongs with Pauli the killer , I wouldnt lift a finger to support this fight .

with all the crap that's been said, we all deserve tha crap that is ??? pacman vs malignaggi...
at the end of the day, it's their bank account that's getting fatter,while all of us are left with this forum to throw **** at each other, pretending to be smarter than the idiot at the other end of god knows where....

My love for boxing is now turning to hate. **** all these premadonas! Arum is an ******* too. He should at least find a compromise now that GBP is backing off of using USADA. There are other alternatives that they could compromise on........unless my boy Manny has a skeleton in his closet. What a shame. This is a huge loss for boxing. If Pacquiao fights "the feather fisted guido", I'm certainly done with boxing. Bob Arum is just as bad as the Mayweathers when it comes to destroying what little life boxing has left. Shame on them for not putting more effort into making this fight happen!!!

Floyd will never stoop as low as fighting a nobody like M Hatton , only a fool would even think it even possible , lots of gullible people in this forum .

[lcheezy]

malignaggi was one of the first to accuse manny of using something but arum will allow pac to fight him.what is that?paulie will fight pac for a nice payday and i don't blame him but you go from a possible 3million buys ppv to a hbo date on march 13. great job bob and manny wackiao or cuackiao for ducking
