JEFF MAYWEATHER: "PACQUIAO CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE OF FIGHTING MARQUEZ AGAIN AND LOOKING BAD"
By Percy Crawford | December 09, 2011
PC: Your nephew is fighting on May 5th. There are talks of negotiations and investors and all kinds of stuff. You don't have to go into too much detail, but what is your take on everything going on?
JM: It's kind of one of them situations, and I have been saying this, if the fight doesn't happen now, then it will probably never happen. Pacquiao can't afford to have another bad performance. If he does, the luster of this fight that once seemed to be a great matchup, like a Tommy Hearns vs. Sugar Ray or Hagler fight, that type of super fight doesn't happen. The luster is already starting to leave. Pacquiao can't take a chance of fighting Marquez again and looking bad. He can't take a chance of fighting a Tim Bradley, a guy who brings nothing to the table anyway except he's going to make you look bad. That's the only thing he brings to the table. He can't take that kind of risk. I have read articles out there, and I don't know how true it is, but I see where they are saying Pacquiao can't fight in May because of some cut he had over his eye. How long is it going to take for his eye to heal? It don't take no half a year. ****, Margarito had his damn orbital bone broke and he still fought within a certain timeframe. It didn't take the kind of timeframe they talking about.
