Will boxing's dream match ever happen?

News and notes from the Pacquiao media workout video:

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach reveals his game plan against Joshua Clottey, but doesn't care because "Clottey can't do anything about it."

Promoter Bob Arum calls Floyd Mayweather a "coward." He also believes that Mayweather used drug testing in negotiations as a ploy to get into Pacquiao's head, and to find a way to get out of the fight.

Pacquiao reveals what his disadvantages are going into the fight, but also said that he doesn't need Mayweather to justify his career.

Those were some pretty strong words from Bob. Floyd 's boxing game doesn't revolve solely inside the ring, it starts the day the fight is scheduled; using mind games and social tricks to "spook" the other fighter. That said I wish Floyd would leave the games to the trainers and just fight Manny, its a fight everyone wants to see, we may just not be ready for it

Floyd "Money" Mayweather makes his money by talking Baj. I mean he isn't the most exciting fighter to watch in the ring, but he's unparalleled on the mic. Mayweather's drug testing demands are ridiculous. They could've made $25 million each just for stepping into the ring! Oh well, if they both win their respective matches, the hype will grow even more intense.
