    After recently saying he’d fight former WBC junior middleweight and middleweight champion Sergio Martinez at 147 pounds, Manny Pacquiao has suddenly changed his tune by saying in an interview at esnewsreporting that he’d be open to fighting Martinez at a 150 pound catchweight.

    Now before you get excited about this you have to realize that this is Pacquiao talking and not the one that does the matchmaking for him, Bob Arum. It doesn’t matter much what Pacquiao says if Arum isn’t going to go along with the program and make the fight happen.

    Do you think Arum is going to put his gravy train fighter Pacquiao in with a brutal slugger like Martinez? Nope! It’s not going to happen in this lifetime unless Martinez suddenly stops winning and/or starts looking more vulnerable. We’re talking a lot more vulnerable.
