Is Mayweather his own man?


PhilBoxing.com




THEY'VE run out of ways chasing after the Dream Fight.

Even ardent fans have started to lose hope they could corner evasive Floyd Mayweather Jr. to agree and box it out with ever-energetic Manny Pacquiao.

In fact, Mayweather, last seen and heard of , had ended in the wrong end of a comfort room, that saw one woman complaining to the cops.

Meanwhile, Pacquiao continued to do it his way and make himself very useful and relevant.

He hosted and bankrolled a major international billiards tournament that should pave the way for the Philippines making it back as epicenter of world pool.

Pacquiao has also been scheduled to sit as judge in a major international beauty pageant in January.

Nothing clear about Mayweather, who continued to behave lost.

Anyway, one felllow who has refused to lose hope is boxing expert Hermie Rivera.

Here he is:

"Should you decide to touch what I am suggesting, If the fighters concerned, MP-FM, will have the final say, then the quarreling promoters will wake up to their senses. I previously mentioned to you that, in the ultimate end, promoters corner the biggest chunk of the cake. So why not Moneymay and Packie be the frontrunners and be their own man?

**

"I can volunteer to help Manny on this score.Do consider my suggestion for the staging of this awaited-match which up to now no one is biting, although Bob Arum had a firm bid with the Pineda Bros for a Madison Square Garden bout.. Oscar de la Hoya has been awfully quiet since, I sent word that OLDH might like my proposal which the two (MP-FMJr) will grab the minute they see it.

So Manny is still hesitant to give his assent owing to the
outrageous demand of the MoneyMan for a bigger slice of the
purse, pay per view share and other ancillary incomes of the prospective bout of the century which has been a long-established zarzuela---five years running. Believe me, something will come out of this if both Pacquiao and Mayweather are left to negotiate freely and honestly on their own. Merry Christmas to all."
