Why A Mayweather vs Pacquiao Fight May Never Happen

This one comes straight from the horse's mouth. No surmising, no theories....Mayweather directly (in true Mayweather fashion -- brutaly honest) answered the million dollar question. Why won't he fight Pacquiao in the highest paying bouts to date?

"In a response that eventually drew applause from his entourage, Mayweather once again said it is “basic common sense” that Pacquiao has used performance-enhancing drugs and getting in the ring with him would be a risk to his future health. 

“Health is more important than anything,” Mayweather said. “Because guess what? When my career is over, if I’m hurt because of something that has happened in a fight, I can’t come to you and say, ‘I need (money).’ ”

Mayweather’s hardest point came when he admitted that he believes the boxing world doesn’t even care if Pacquiao is using or not — that the desire to see the two fight now surpasses any concern over his safety. “People say, ‘We don’t give a f— if he’s taking or not; we just want to see the fight. We don’t give a f— about your health and we don’t give a f— about your family.’ ” Mayweather said. “I care about my family. I love my family. They’re going to be there when no one else is there. When my career is over, you’re all going to move on to the next one." source: inflexwetrust.com

Whether you're a fan of Mayweather's or not you gotta respect his answer. Can't fight forever, health is true wealth.

    1. I think it's a smart move on his behave. Most times people don't know when enough is enough and then they can't fully enjoy the rest of their lives.
