By Frank Livingstone: I just find it amusing that after the historic luncheon meeting between Manny Pacquiao and President Obama, Floyd Mayweather Jr posted a photo of him with President Bush and Jerry Jones at the Super Bowl. When the promotional tour for the Pacquiao/Mosley fight started in Beverly Hills, Floyd Jr was on the news again with his twitter research on Pacquiao’s three losses against his unblemished “0” record. Don’t forget that when he announced his comeback fight against Juan Manuel Marquez after a short break in boxing, he decided to make it at the eve of the Pacquiao/Hatton fight.
Floyd Mayweather Jr has his ways of reminding the boxing fans that he is still around. But surely this can’t go on forever with him just standing on the sidelines and let Manny Pacquiao dominate the headlines in the ring with him carrying a placard of his “0” record plus his drug crusade against the Pacman.
Shane Mosley made his feeling known that he is doing the dirty works for Floyd Jr. Some say the Floyd Jr is suffering a case of Pacphobia or he is just being smart of not fight a prime Pacquiao at this stage.
For now, Floyd Jr is financially secured and may not even have to fight again as he pursues his other business ventures. However this might change depending on the results of his upcoming court appearances. Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr and even wish for his problems to be resolved so he can fight again. There is no question that the dream fight would break the record in financial terms but it could remain a dream fight that never happened. We all have insecurities and how we deal with them is what set as apart from others. Don’t get me wrong, Floyd Jr is not scared of fighting Pacquiao and a number of experts believe that Floyd Jr will win the fight. We could only hope that Floyd Jr believes it as well.
