Top Rank chairman Bob Arum told ESPN.com that he didn't think the fight would happen and he was making plans to match Pacquiao with junior middleweight titlist Yuri Foreman on March 20 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, so Pacquiao could go for a title in a record eighth weight division.
"In my opinion the fight has no chance of happening and we should go and do other things and revisit it later in the year," Arum said from his vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. "That is what I would suggest. That may not be how it works out. I don't know. It's a damn shame, but it's out of my hands. When I think of having to share a dais with those sleazebags, Oscar and Schaefer, after what they've been saying about Manny, it turns my stomach."
For those that haven't seen Foreman, he's awful and is about as exciting to watch as Cory Spinks. As Beavis and Butthead would say, "This sucks more than anything that's ever sucked before." Way to go, Manny.
