Roger Mayweather Said Floyd Will Fight Bradley and Pacquiao

Roger Mayweather said that he and his nephew met with Bob Arum a little over a month ago for a couple of hours and that they discussed fights with both Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley. He said that:

"Floyd's gonna fight em, why wouldn't he fight them? Anytime you are getting that type of money, how the hell are you not going to fight them. He has to fight Pacquiao cause that's the fight people want to see and people talk about. If he wouldn't fight Pacquiao he would go down in history as a scared ******* champion, wouldn't he? If he didn't fight Pacquiao, OK then. My Nephew ain't scared of no Pacquiao."

I really hope this is true this time around.

"The bottom line is that the team is not winning at the pace that we expected this team to win and we didn't see improvement. We wish Mike well and we're sorry it ended this way. So, we've decided to move in another direction and make a change."

Lakers will begin the search for a new coach.
