On Monday night,
Dan Rafael of ESPN.com penned this story, (see link provided below), which states that Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao
are already focusing on another go-round with Juan Manuel Marquez and have no interest in
facing Floyd Mayweather at this time.
To
this, Bob Arum responded, “[Leonard] Ellerbe said he got an email saying that-
are you f**king crazy? We don't even know his email address. I mean, the only
two people that could send it from Top Rank would be myself or [Top Rank President]
Todd [duBoef] and I assure you, we've sent nothing of the kind. Nothing,
nothing, nothing, nothing of the kind. The guy just finished fighting for
Christ's sake. I mean, maybe he'll fight Marquez. Maybe he'll fight somebody
else. Funny, for months, you can't hear from them. Now we have a fight that's
over, my guys got a big cut. He wants to go home to the Philippines. I haven't discussed
anything with him. You gotta understand; I'm not going to get stampeded into
anything.
“What
the hell’s going on? All I can say is we haven't sent an email to anybody else
on that side to say ‘boo.’”
