by Geoffrey Ciani – A day before news broke that a potential mega-bout between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Junior might be in jeopardy, Paulie Malignaggi made a guest appearanceOn the Ropes.

Ironically, Paulie Malignaggi sounded off on this very same topic when he accused Pacquiao of using illegal substances which enhanced his performance. Below is an excerpt from that interview..
