        "We don't need a show for his arrival and we can do without all the hoopla," Arum said. "We'll keep it calm for Manny. We'll get a big room downstairs at Mandalay Bay, and Manny will talk to the press there in an orderly way and in a comfortable environment. I think that's a lot better for Manny and, frankly, it's better for the press. Why does he need a grand arrival when he's not even staying at that place?"

          Manny tends to get flustered when you ask him certain questions, especially regarding why the fight didn't happen.

          I understand both camps position.
          Strongly disagree! ... Anyone can change for the better.

          That's almost like stating that the multitude of dedicated trolls on BS, are destined to be trolls no matter what.

                    I was only talking about his justifications for the DV offenses in the past.

                      -When Marley, who used to work for Don King as a publicist, was identified as the first person with a question by the moderator, Arum lost it.

Manny is no good on these calls. Once I heard that the first caller was Mike Marley I knew that they were screwed up. And that***8217;s nothing against Marley but who the (expletive) is the ***8216;Examiner?***8217; Or whatever he said.***8221;

                      Bob Arum is no fan of bloggers and conference calls. On Monday, his two annoyances came together to add another bizarre chapter to the hype surrounding the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather on May 2. Pacquiao was supposed to hold a…
