Mayweather-Pacquiao - The Blame Game - 8th January 2010

In his first statement since their prospective fight fell apart, Floyd Mayweather Jr. blamed Manny Pacquiao for the lack of a deal, saying Pacquiao refused to accept a reasonable compromise on drug-testing concerns. Mayweather also said in a statement that he was still ready to sign a deal for the fight, which was scheduled for March 13 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas before Pacquiao’s promoter, Top Rank, declared it dead Wednesday.

Mayweather said he was “thoroughly disgusted” by Pacquiao’s representatives’ attempts to blame him for the collapse of what was likely to be the richest bout in boxing history. On Wednesday, Bob Arum of Top Rank said Mayweather, his former fighter, was “a psychological coward who doesn’t want to fight anybody who has a chance of beating him.”
