So... I've been away from civilization for a few days, anyone want to update me on what all the commotion is about? Is Floyd pulling another 'And yes, Manny Pacquiao, you're next... who said that?'
Anyway, Al Haymon never wanted to have anything to do with putting in his golden calf with the destroyer. Paul Williams' trainer exposed them years ago, at the very beginning.
George Peterson (Paul Williams' trainer; Williams is also managed by Haymon) on Dec. 2 2009 in an interview with Scoop Malinowski:
*************: Who do you see winning Pacquiao vs. Floyd?
Peterson: “It’s not gonna happen.”
*************: You don’t think so?
Peterson: “No.”
*************: Why not?
Peterson: “It’s not a fight that’s meant to be made. That fight’s just not meant to be made.”
*************: Why not? Everyone wants to see it?
Peterson: “A lot of people want to see it but they’re not gonna see it.”
*************: Mayweather doesn’t want it does he?
Peterson: “Ah, that fight is not gonna be made.”
*************: You’re saying it with a lot of certainty in your voice.
Peterson: “Yes sir. Yes sir. If it was gonna be made it would be made by now.”
*************: Who doesn’t want to pull the trigger? (I know Mayweather is the chicken here, just want to try to get more from the source.)
Peterson: “I just don’t see it being made.”
*************: You know something but won’t say it.
Peterson: [Smiles].
*************: Who would win, if it was made? Just for fun?
Peterson: “It’s not gonna be made. That fight is not gonna be made.”
*************: I hear you, it’s not even worth wasting the energy on a fight that is fantasy.
Peterson: “It’s not gonna happen.”
Also, another boxing insider told me that Haymon told him he would never allow Floyd to fight Margarito because the Mexican is “too big, too strong and just keeps on coming.”
