Floyd Mayweather Advisor Leonard Ellerbe Calls Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach & Bob Arum "Cowards" for Pursuing 4th Fight W/Marquez Instead of Fighting Floyd (Video Highlights Inside)
by The only true roadblock to the mega fight is Bob Arum himself.
The mega fight that the whole world wants too see is on the verge of being derailed once again.
After Manny Pacquiao won his third controversial decision against Juan Manuel Marquez Saturday night, one would think the long-awaited showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr. was now on the horizon. Now Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum is surprisingly seeking a fourth fight with Marquez, to take place in May 2012.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer stated that he was notified of Arum’s intentions by Judge Daniel Weinstein. Weinstein has handled business between Golden Boy and Arum’s Top Rank for the past 12 years.
”I am sick and tired of Bob Arum twisting the truth. It’s another case of ‘yesterday I was lying, today I’m telling the truth. The truth of the matter is that we received this afternoon an email from retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who has informed us that Top Rank is pursuing a rematch with Marquez and, therefore, is not interested in immediate talks for a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. This is obviously as clear as it can be that they have no intentions of making a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. Therefore, Floyd Mayweather will have no other choice than to move on and identify and lock in another opponent for his ring return on May 5,” stated an angry Schaefer.
Mayweather advisor,Leonard Ellerbe said that this is proof that Pac Man, Freddie Roach and Bob Arum are scared to make the fight based off of manny’s lackluster performance against Marquez, a fighter who Floyd Mayweather totally dominated in their May 2010 fight.
“In my opinion, you have three cowards — Bob Arum, (Pacquiao trainer) Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao,” said Ellerbe. “Now we all know the truth once and for all why this fight hasn’t been made. It should be clear to everyone that they don’t care what the fans want, especially when Floyd is ready, willing and able to fight Manny Pacquiao now. Floyd said if this isn’t clear, he doesn’t know what is.
”All along we know why the fight isn’t being made. This is the perfect opportunity. Both guys just fought. This is the fight the fans want to see, and it’s a disgrace that they are not willing to give the fans what they want. In my opinion, there are three reasons why Arum doesn’t want the fight. He knows there is no way that Manny Pacquiao can win, it kills his cash cow, and he wants to do in-house fights where he controls both sides. I said all along why this fight hasn’t been made to this point. Manny Pacquiao knows, Bob Arum knows and Freddie Roach knows.“
Arum as usual, denied knowing anything about an email being sent to Mayweather’s team, but would only acknowledge that he was pursuing a fourth fight between Pacquiao and Marquez.
“We are pursuing a fourth fight with Marquez,” Arum said. “As far as doing anything definitively, we aren’t ready to do anything definitively. When we are ready to make a determination of what we are going to do, we will do it. We are not going to do this in the press. We will do what is in the best interest of ourselves and our client and make a decision when it’s time to. If we decide we want to do a rematch with Marquez, there is no reason to sit down with Mayweather. If we want to explore a Mayweather fight, we will sit down with them. But I’m not going to sit down with them just because it’s a good show.“
