It must be big if hes telling it to ufc i wonder what it is.

All that you posted applies to both Pacman & Floyd as well. Have you ever thought about that? Martinez isn't a 1 dementional Margarito or a fat lightweight Marquez, or a shot a$$ Mosley. Take a serious look at what Martinez has done lately, the level of opposition between the 3 & ask yourself who's had the most impressive string of victories? Pacman struggled with a shot Mosley. Floyd resorted to cheap legal shots to beat Ortiz. Martinez struggled with an unknown untested cherrypicked fighter. Every fighter is beatable, but Floyd & Manny choose the easiest fights possible. Martinez has not had that luxury.

he just fought a bum and struggled with it. and you said it yourself only to deny it a sentence after. contradict much?

finally...the fight slowly takes form...

So.............. did you graduate from yale, or something? I guess you completely ignored the bold that I pointed out, just for you huh? Most impressive string of victories is plural, (meaning more than 1). The rest that you bolded, were singular examples( meaning only 1), do you understand?

In a radio interview, Martinez says:

Sounds like BS to me... trying to get some attention and by saying you will fight these two guys... then say what should I do they ducked me... and fight another great european challenger...

Mayweather could be talking to him but about what should Pacquiao's camp talk to him? He has still a match coming up or is outcome already clear?

Boxing is coming to TNT, that's been floating around for the past week or so. Rafael mentioned it mid week, then Fred Sternburg (Pacquiao's publicist) tweeted about it. They're trying to fill the void the NBA lockout has left.

Eh...he said this in a random Argentinian radio show. This interview is a week old and would have probably faded into the abyss if I hadn't dug it up from the grave. If he wanted some attention, he would have been saying this to American reporters.

OK... so if he actually believes this again why should Pacquiao negotiate anything with him right now? He has a match coming up... so this is the interview where he says that one of the biggest fights in the last 15 years will happen?

[bojangles1987]

Far more likely it's Mayweather, if either.

Bob Arum has Pacquiao's opponents lined up long before Pacquiao even knows. Even if it's kept in house, lets face it, Martinez would bring in more money than Tim Bradley. If Bob thinks he could drain Martinez, he'll do it. But yeah, Mayweather is a lot more likely than Pac right now. In another interview, he said Mayweather specifically for March/May.

Different interview and that was said by his trainer, not Martinez.
