Ok….I had a little time to think about this one so I guess now was a good time to let y’all know what the GC thinks. First off I can’t even get a haircut or go about a good full hour without somebody asking me about the mega fight that everybody wants to see between Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, so when news of Pacquiao and Margarito broke, you could probably hear the phrase “Hell nawwww!!!” in just about every home on earth at the same time.

Pound for Pound king Manny Pacquiao has found his opponent….Antonio Margarito not Floyd Mayweather Jr. The bout is set to take place at the 154 lb limit for the vacant WBC title. A victory would give Pacquiao titles in a record eight weight divisions. Top Rank chief Bob Arum told The Associated Press on Saturday night that Pacquiao will fight Margarito in a junior middleweight bout on Nov. 13...........
Team Mayweather provided DaTruthBoxing.com with the following statement about the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. rumors.

EitherRoss Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying."
