Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather in 2012...

OK, don't kill the messenger but this is what Bob Arum (Top Rank) had to say relating to a potential Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather fight in 2012:

"Look, it has nothing to do with anything other than Floyd has to get his criminal situation resolved. All of you guys are missing that. If he doesn't take a plea, which means jail time, then what's going to happen clearly is that he's going to go to that and if he's convicted, he'll get a minimum of three years. And then when he can fight, forget about Mayweather fighting Pacquiao or anybody else."

Good grief, Edwin Moses never had to clear so many hurdles.
