"That was a stupid mistake I made by playing Neville Chamberlain and negotiating this issue ... You don't negotiate. You don't appease. Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler on Munich and look what happened."

"I'm just happy to be a part of Manny Pacquiao's life"


Freddie Roach Mar 14 2010 8:30 PM from USA Today

"He's probably going to win the election ... But that's all right because if their congress is anything like ours, they don't do anything anyway."


Bob Arum Mar 14 2010 8:30 PM from USA Today

"What was he supposed to do? ... If he played offense he'd get knocked out."


Bob Arum Mar 14 2010 8:30 PM from USA Today

"Manny Pacquiao is beating everybody ... He's knocking them out. I have to do what I can and I think I did my best."


Joshua Clottey Mar 14 2010 8:30 PM from USA Today

Bob Arum Mar 14 2010 6:32 PM from New York Post

"At 9:15 he'll come out of his (mobile) home and we'll have a cart taking him into the dugout and into the dressing room and he'll have plenty of time to get ready"


Bob Arum Mar 14 2010 6:32 PM from New York Post

"There was no way Clottey was going to beat [Pacquiao], even if he took off his gloves and fought him bare-fisted ... If he played offense [tonight] he would've been knocked out."


Bob Arum Mar 14 2010 4:43 PM from Bleacher Report

"He had a good defense, but defense isn’t enough to win a fight"


Freddie Roach Mar 14 2010 8:51 AM from SpokesmanReview.com
