Why havent the sued Paulie???
He blasted him wayyy worse then anyone ever has.
GL: It's no secret that you've said some things about Pacquiao. Do you have a new position on Pacquiao? What is your opinion on the legitimacy of Manny Pacquiao fights?
Paul Malignaggi: "I gave my opinion, it's my opinion an I feel the same way. That being said, I have full confidence in the drug testing procedures of the Nevada Commission and that they will conduct the proper testing. At the end of the day, they were my observations and my opinions. Let's keep in mind that Manny Pacquiao has never failed a drug test. But there are certain things I have observed him that have led me to my opinions."
GL: Yet you're still willing to fight him, under the full jurisdiction of Vegas.
PM: "Yeah. But I just can't see how over a drug test Manny Pacquiao is going to turn down a fight with Mayweather and $40M. It's cool to have my name in the mix, but at the end of the day, how do you not fight a fight like this over a test? Look, if they can't make it happen, Manny Pacquiao will have his hands full with me. Let's not forget, I possess a style that he hasn't had to deal with yet. I can box, I can match his speed, I'm not flat-footed, and I'm a constantly improving fighter each time I fight with
Sherif Younan.
But if he's on something how do you catch him if you don't do the proper testing? Listen, at the end of the day a lot of evidence shows you he could be on something. The only way you can know for sure if he gets the proper testing. The fact that he's willing to risk it all and leave a fight like this on the table makes it more fishy. I'm a pro-athlete. I'm going to put it to you like this, if I worked that hard and achieved all that in my career and people questioned the integrity that I have an how I achieved, I'd be willing to take those tests because I would want to leave no doubt that I did all this naturally.
As an athlete I would be in a rush to clear my name and the fact that he's avoiding it, is the opposite of how any athlete should have reacted. Any athlete who was probably guilty would act that way in my opinion, it seems a little strange to me. It's seems a little strange to me."
