Manny Page #7

But it takes two to tango.

The first time, we had

a little issue about the blood test.

Second negotiations.

We agreed to everything.

There was no...

Floyd said no.

Who's this guy?

He just pops up and becomes good?

And just punches hard out the blue?

Just out of the blue?

Now how in the hell you beat

a guy at 1 50 pounds,

that can fight way better than the guy

you was fighting at 1 05 pounds?

lt ain't no way possible.

You can't use rational thinking

with a Mayweather.

MANNY:
The allegation is...

They're trying to ruin my, my,

my name in boxing.

-Who might be next?

-lt doesn't matter.

-All right. How about Manny Pacquiao?

-lf he wants, he can get it.

l want the fight because

the people want to see a good fight.

But it is up to him,

if he is going to fight with me.

He is saying that he has capitulated

to any and all drug testing mandates

that you have incorporated.

He has called you out.

Did Floyd duck Manny Pacquiao?

Yes.

l have to believe

that Floyd is ducking.

l have never ducked nor dodged

no opponent,

so stop, so stop.

lf Floyd wants to fight him,

the fight will happen.

lf Floyd doesn't want to fight him,

the fight won't.

He'd rather turn down

forty million dollars,

than take a chance to get that

one lost.

-Who hits harder, him or Mayweather?

-Him.

Do you think Mayweather

is afraid of you?

Do you think he doesn't want to fight

you and that's why he's trying to...

l think he's not really for the fight.

When they mentioned Pacquiao,

l said who's that?

They say that's the guy we're trying

to get fight Mayweather.

When l say Floyd Mayweather,

they say "all-time great."

Everyone's gonna always question him,

why didn't you fight Pacquiao?

Are you ever going to fight

Manny Pacquiao?

Once again, Bob Arum is

Manny Pacquiao's boss,

Floyd Mayweather is his own boss.

So once he's free from Bob Arum,

will the fight happen? Absolutely.

Mayweather's promoter wants it,

Manny wants it.

The only person that is holding it up

is Bob Arum.

Boxing doesn't need this fight.

And in my opinion,

that fight will never, ever happen.

Ever, ever happen.

No matter how much those two guys

want to fight each other,

the politics won't let it happen.

MAN:
To lead you through today's

press conference,

the Hall of Fame promoter,

and CEO of Top Rank, Bob Arum.

When they first fought, I was

Juan Manuel's promoter.

[CROWD CHEERlNG]

ANNOUNCER:
The bout is a draw!

Second fight, I was Manny's promoter.

ANNOUNCER:
A new champion,

Manny Pacquiao!

Now this fight, I promote

both of them.

[CHUCKLlNG]

Hi, I'm Manny Pacquiao.

I beat him once, I beat him twice.

And this time will be

the third and final.

FREDDlE:
There's no set schedule.

Not too many fighters l would

wait for, in my life,

but he's won eight world titles,

so l will wait for him.

But that's how it goes.

l can describe the schedule of

Manny Pacquiao as hectic and erratic.

You'll never know when

we will be there...

[JlNKEE SPEAKlNG FlLlPlNO]

Of course there are a lot of things

you are obliged to do.

But sometimes l wonder can l do this?

Can l really take this?

lt's frustrating at times,

but you have to understand

the time schedule that Manny creates

for himself is unbelievable.

There's times where

the only sleep we get

is while driving from one city

to the next in the car.

We wish you all the best of luck

against Juan Manuel Marquez

for the third time.

All right then, thank you.

MlCHAEL:
I tell Manny,

your body is like a car.

I don't care if you buy

a $200,000 Ferrari,

you drive it every day, and don't take

it for maintenance, it's gonna break.

[CHEERlNG]

ALEX:
He was always an expert

at dividing his time.

Knowing how much to give to this,

how much to give to that.

FEMALE REPORTER:

Did you read the bill?

Did you study the Bill?

How come you say it's abortion

when the Bill's not?

MANNY:
I'm saying that the Bill is

not abortion.

l'm saying that this Bill

is totally abortion.

ALEX:
When being a Congressman

didn't come as

easy as maybe he thought

it was gonna be,

he found himself having to apply

more of his attention in studying,

and researching and reading

and staying up nights learning.

l think that's why it

affected us in the ring.

And that took away from boxing,

and I think we paid for it.

We did. l think he did.

[GRUNTlNG]

ALEX:
You can have so many things

going on in your life.

But when your relationship

is affected...

We can't go without Jinkee.

ALEX:
You're not there.

Manny who is used to having such

the same routine...

Jinkee gets down on the week

before the fight.

Her not being there

in the hotel room with him,

not being in the same bed with him...

That's Manny's Kryptonite.

NARRATOR:
: Most people look at boxing

as a physical competition.

But it's mostly a mental battle.

When a fighter steps

between the ropes,

he carries everything into the ring

with him.

And if his mind doesn't follow,

neither does his heart.

[BOXlNG BELL RlNGlNG]

COMMENTATOR:
Marquez's corner

thinks he's winning.

Freddie Roach wants to see Pacquiao

put this guy on his ass.

And the crowd seems to think Marquez

is winning.

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,

from the MGM Grand,

we go to the scorecards after

twelve World Championship rounds,

the winner, by majority decision,

and still WBO World Welterweight

Champion of the World

Manny "Pacman"

Pacquiao!

BOB ARUM:
Be calm,

because l promise you

l'll bring the fight back in May...

BOB ARUM:
And we'll do it again.

We'll do it again!

My question is very simple.

Are you more convinced that you won

this fight

more clearly than the other two?

I think, I won this fight

more clearly.

I don't know what happened.

What do I need to do

for the judges to give me the fight?

I don't know what happened.

Good evening.

Thank you for this

another opportunity.

I know,

I did my best, but

the expectation of the people is...

The fight is not that happened,

but thank you.

MANNY:
After the fight,

I had a dream.

I was in a jungle.

I saw the light brighter than the sun.

It penetrates my bones and my body.

I heard God's voice.

He said to me,

"Son, why you leave me?

Why you away from me?"

l woke up, and when l touched my hair

and my pillow,

it was wet,

with tears, l'm crying.

l told him, you have to leave

all the...

The worldly things,

so the gambling...

Having a...

Being unfaithful,

all of that, so,

you have to change that.

I told him that you are now

a new creation of God.

A new man, a changed man, so...

You better leave those things.

MANNY:
Yeah, I have a casino

and I sold it.

And I have a bar,

sold it also,

and I stopped drinking, stopped good

times with friends, like that

and I stopped gambling, everything.

l want to perfectly follow

God's Commandment.

JINKEE:
I hope, or I believe that you

have to gonna push through

to become a good creation of God,

a good person to the people.

A good husband,
