Op-Ed: Floyd Mayweather, #TBE 'chicken'


PhilBoxing.com




If Floyd Mayweather continues to duck, then he indeed must be one and it appears that he is also a chicken.

That sounds loaded and a bit weird but so be it, because as things are unfolding, Mayweather is evidently ducking Manny Pacquiao and in the process appears afraid hence, a chicken.

He is avoiding Manny Pacquiao to be blunt about it and not for any other reason, it is obvious, that HE FEARS the Pacman.

Yeah, I can forgive the naysayers and the pessimists, even including among the throng of sports scribes for theirs is only their appreciation of facts and their own perception of things but not Mayweather, who according to his former aide, Tasha Robinson-White is like a spoilt child who wanted his ways always.

Indeed, Mayweather is, because after it was reported that they met in Pacquiao's hotel suite after that chance encounter in the NBA game between Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks in Florida, Mayweather suddenly made a sort of a turn around by telling all and sundry that no contract has been signed yet.

He bragged about his private jet in his recent Jamaica vacation in subtly announcing about the non existence of a fight contract, so what is he really after for?

Well, maybe its just part of his really hyping the fight or making his ways always, controlling, so that the legion of boxing fans crave more for it but whether Mayweather would eventually agree, it is really up to him.

At the end of the day, if Mayweather continues to avoid fighting Pacquiao then indeed, he is a chicken and in case he decides that he will fight, in the Philippines, Manny knows that a chicken is best grilled, barbecued, or fried. Manny can very well do it, not literally speaking but figuratively, in the boxing ring. And if Manny can do it to Mayweather then my premise is right that the self acclaimed #TBE, "The Best Ever" is farce because he is actually a duck (he is ducking Pacquiao). Oh Yes to massage his ego, let us still crown him TBE but add the word CHICKEN. #TBE CHICKEN.
