Interview; Murad Muhammad Speaks Out, Part 1

As events began to evolve in the disagreement between Freddie Roach and Murad Muhammad it started to appear that it may involve more than a percentage being owed to Roach. Boxingscene staff writer Ronnie Nathanielsz broke a story regarding a company Ten Count Productions Inc. a Nevada based corporation offering Manny a contract listed in that contract are Nick Khan and none other than Freddie Roach as managers. Without getting fully into the reported contract it stuck me funny that during my interview Freddie Roach admitted that Murad Muhammad had an exclusive contract with the Pacquiao camp. We discussed Freddie, Manny and other items with Murad at length.

Keith; Manny has disclosed to us that he understood the terms of the contract for the Barrera bout and is pleased with the money he received. Basically he wanted $500,000 for the fight with Barrera and you made that possible isn?t that correct?

Murad; Let me talk about the Manny Pacquiao entire situation. First of all I want you to know that I traveled the world with Mohammad Ali for 12 years and I learned the athletes from within, before I became a boxing promoter. I know how they think, I know how they sleep, how they walk, how they talk, when they are down, and when they are up.
