And if so, is she a Pacquiao fan and how does she feel about the fact that you support Mayweather. Don't mean to get into your personal business but I'm just curious.
      Yeah, that is me and my wife. I thank you for the compliment and so does she. And yes, she is a filipina. She doesn't really care too much, as she isn't a big fan of Pac. She recently got to the US(finally!) and she actually felt he was too arrogant(although I think in her eyes he is taited from his acts in the past). When you say "support" Mayweather, I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. I do think he is the better fighter and will win when they get into the ring. But, I am more a supporter of what I consider (might sound corny) truth and fairness. Both Floyd and Manny could've done more to make this fight b4 now and I can't stand when people blame just one side. Pac team has made excuse after excuse just like Floyd has. They have also declined the fight everytime there were real negotiations, but that's completely ignored and Floyd is considered a duck and a coward because people don't like him. Honestly, I don't like how Floyd acts outside the ring either much of the time, but I can seperate what he does in the ring and what he does outside of it. Thanks again for the compliment. She is the best thing that ever could've happened to me and treats me like KING!

                Come on man, that's not right. He hasn't died yet because he takes good care of himself and stays active and interested in life.

                  Bob Arum doesn't even remember what he said a hour ago.

                      1- May raised steroid testing that had NEVER been done bf EVER . Pac should've agreed, BUT, may made a roadblock to a fight, s roadblock that had never been raised in the history on the sport.
                      2- I know he went on vacation, but he was on vacation for over a yr, whenever pacs name was mentioned. Lol
                      3 - purse split is a lie. Lol. May offered a flat fee! And then said he made manny a legit offer. Purse split was a HUGE issue
                      4 - rhetorical statement. Ok... sure
                      5- manny whipped bradley, and the statement was made after pac beat Rios so he wasn't coming off a loss, just another excuse
                      6- whatever the exact words were mayweather admitted to being a coward...a rich coward. Interview wit Costas, Google it.
                      7 saying u won't make the fight bc of Arum, is another impediment, no matter how ud like to spin it
                      Mayweather did request the drug testing. No one is dis*****g that. But it was Pacquiao that used it as an excuse to turn down the fight.

                      Did he go on vacation for a year or every time Pacquiao's name was brought up? You can't have it both ways. Because if he was on vacation he wouldn't ever be talking to the media for Pacquiao's name to be brought up.

                      Like I said, only in a tale spinning delusional mind is a $40,000,000 dollar offer not a legitimate offer. And again, it was Pacquiao who turned down the offer. So if purse split was an issue it was Pacquiao's issue. And if he didn't like the offer but wanted the fight why did he not give a counter proposal?

                      Yes. It was a rhetorical statement that had a direct relationship with the kind of business that Bob Arum was doing by leveraging fighters into leaving their former promoters and signing with Top Rank to fight Pacquiao at the time.

                      No. Pacquiao had just been knocked out cold by Marquez and then fought Brandon Rios, who was just coming off of a loss himself, in his first fight after that.

                      That statement about being called a coward by the media has absolutely nothing to do with making a fight with Pacquiao at all. When Pacquiao fans start bringing that up I know that you guys are getting desperate.

                      Bob Arum is and always has been the impediment no matter how YOU would like to spin it.
