By Glenn Findlay: Then we have the convenient “retirement” excuse as & when he feels it is necessary to avoid dangerous “in their prime” opponents. A clever strategy. By using the excuse of retiring, Floyd Mayweather manages to avoid all questions of fighting boxers currently in their prime.
His deluded fans will once again give him the benefit of the doubt & his precious ego is again un-tarnished. He is in total control. Ask yourself; how would Floyd have dealt with a fully-primed power-house technician like Miguel Cotto, a relentless pressure-cooker of Antonio Margarito & now Manny Pacquioa. Not very well; hence these fights have not & never will take place. Hence the reluctance to accept a basic…yes a basic guaranteed $50 million purse to fight Manny revealed by Pacquiao’s advisor, Michael Konz. Mayweathers largest purse before this had been $25 million yet once again he will not agree to fight Manny Pacquiao in the ring. If Pacquiao agreed to a $60 million purse, Mayweather would then demand $70 million. If $70 million was agreed; Mayweather would demand $80 million. If Pacquioa agreed to giving 100% of all profits to Floyd; Mayweather would then balk at the share of PPV or another obstacle would be conjured up like a wandering magician.
Remember, Floyd Snr was present in the corner when Manny put Ricky Hatton into the land of nod, was at ringside to witness the destruction of more powerfully bigger fighters such as Miguel Cotto & Margarito & is on “youtube” stating he fears for his sons life if he fought Pacquiao. He cannot believe Manny Pacquioa’s natural power, how outstanding a boxer he is, how fearsome, dangerous & how awesome he is, so we have the ludicrous suggestion of illegal drug use to justify Pacqiuoa’s legendary greatness. It is some compliment for Floyd & his family to publicly admit they cannot believe Pacquioa can be that good, without the use of illegal substances.
To believe Mayweather is “cleaning up the sport” instead of “ducking fighting Pacquioa” is stupendously immature at best, naive at worst; to believe Mayweather co-incidentally “retires” at moments in time when the most highly offensive & currently dangerous boxers were in their primes like Cotto, Margarito & now Pacquioa is again naieve. To believe the libelous accusation that God-fearing, gentleman, class act, politician & all-round humanitarian Pacquioa is on “PEDS” is not just incredibly naive; it is absolutely incredulous, especially when the accusation perspires from an unscrupulous family of drug-taking, woman-battering, child-threatening low-lifes who also claim Vietnamese soldiers injected illegal narcotics that allowed bullets to bounce off their backs in war. Step forward Uncle Roger. The man is un-hinged at best. It does not matter that Mayweathers fans think he can defeat Pacquiao; Mayweather himself does not believe it. The man is a coward, a fraud…a sham & anyone who now follows this guy or endeavors to finance his PPV fights has a morale duty to look themselves in the mirror & ask why are they contributing to the death of our generational super-fight & alongside that; the potential long-term death of boxing as a prime sport. In what other sport would the best not take on the best for fear of losing like Floyd Mayweather?
“I am the champion, I have the belts and I should not be the one challenging you. I should not even be the one trying to make this fight happen. But Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is what everyone wants… that’s why I am calling out your names [King and Mayweather]. My promoter Bob Arum will be waiting for your call and will be very happy to hear what you have to say. The sooner, the better…this is the only way for Mayweather to save face. He claims he is the best. He says he is No. 1. There is only one way to prove his greatness and that is to face me. I should be ready by November,” quote “Kumbinasyon” in PhilBoxing.com website.
There you have it; the most concise & clear “calling out” you’ll ever hear. Let’s get this clear…Manny Pacquioa is recognized in boxing as the P4P King. It should be Mayweather doing the “calling out”, not Pacquioa. Mayweather should be desperate to put Pacquioa in his place, to step up to the plate & claim the “P4P” title, to show he is the greatest in a time where the boxing world publicly acknowledges Pacquiao reigns supreme. Let’s all be honest; people like Mayweather don’t care for the fans deep down; like he’s already stated….the fans don’t pay his bills, the fans don’t put his children through school. This man doesn’t even care to be the greatest he can be. All he’s interested in is “money “& the zero losses that will protect his own “precious ego” until the day he dies. He can then proclaim no-body could beat him in his prime; yet the one boxer alive who could dismantle him is avoided at all costs & by all means necessary.
These zero losses protects his mentally fragile world; defeat by Manny Pacquiao would shatter this illusion & send him more off-the-rails than he currently is. $100 million couldn’t even tempt the guy. With ego-tistical maniacs like Floyd Mayweather; sometimes all the money on Gods given earth isn’t worth the loss of ego to defeat by the peoples champion. It would destroy Floyd in his over-inflated little world. I would go so far as to state his whole career is a sham & pretty much irrelevant unless he fights Manny Pacquiao. If you are not prepared to fight the best of your generation; then your career & legacy has to be forever tarnished; his fans will forever believe his excuses when in reality; they are utterly deluded & following a coward of the ring. There is no place for cowards in the sport of Gods. Boxing needs this fight; the fans demand it, Pacquiao wants it but Floyd Mayweather is restricting it with multi-angled deflective attacks outside the ring as effective as Pacquiao’s boxing prowess attacks inside it. Now is the time for no more demands; no more libelous smears, no more retirements, no more excuses. Fight or permanently retire.
Judging by Mayweathers meltdowns; Manny Pacquioa has already defeated Floyd Mayweather outside of the ring. He would destroy him inside it….& the Mayweather family knows this. That is the brutal truth, that is why this fight will never enter the history books & to all those who have fallen for Floyds deceitful fabrications…please for the sake of boxing; quit being so juvenile & quit being so naive. Floyd Mayweather, the boxer….R.I.P.
