SULAIMAN CONTINUES TO PUT FOOT IN HIS MOUTH PhilBoxing.com Thu, 29 Dec 2011 Poor old man Jose Sulaiman must really be sweating bullets after a couple of hard-nosed articles published negative comments about his statements regarding Floyd Mayweather Jr.?s legal woes. Now he is blaming his apparent lack of command of the English language. Yeah, right! Laughable, to say the least! Jose Sulaiman knew exactly what he wanted to say and he was caught with his foot in his mouth. Sulaiman probably thought that no one will touch the subject so he went ahead and said what he wanted to say. In fact, Sulaiman was partially right. Not too many writers tackled the subject as hard as this writer and another PhilBoxing writer, Rich Mazon. But even with apparently lack of interest on the part of majority of boxing writers, the issue was kept alive by the two Philboxing.com upstarts forcing Sulaiman to do damage control. But his latest statements in an effort to do just that published at The Ring sunk Sulaiman further to the gutter. Sulaiman made a shallow apology but did not fully addressed the fact that he considered abusing women ?not a major sin or crime.? He instead zeroed in on the subject of ?protecting boxers.? Who is he to make us believe that he truly cares about boxers? Just ask Tim Bradley or even Sergio Martinez. Sulaiman in our perspective does not give a hoot about boxers. He only reveres the money he can make off them through his meaningless ?sanction fees.? It is for this reason that he made the awful statements quoted by Ronnie Nathanielz of the Manila Standard. Sulaiman did not give a hoot about women?s rights. All he was thinking at that time was the money he could make if he ?protects? Mayweather. He even went to the extent of thumbing his nose at the very rules he made that make his WBC look credible. Sulaiman does not like to strip a convicted criminal of his title WBC rules not-with-standing. And to make it worse, he is saying that he won?t touch Mayweather because he is anticipating that he will eventually fight Pacquiao. If he strips Mayweather of his title and the fight happens when Floyd gets off jail, then Sulaiman and the WBC will be left holding an empty bag. There will be no sanction fee because there is no WBC title at stake. That may friends can easily translate to about $1.5 dollars, the 3 percent Pacquiao and Mayweather will pay Sulaiman as ?sanction fees?. It is for the above reason that Sulaiman will not touch Mayweather even at the expense of women?s right. I only have two words to describe that such act. Greedy and insensitive!
