When small stars have used up all their usual hydrogen energy sources through the fusion process they simply dim and tend to fall out of our view. Big stars however continue the fission process to their very core. This causes them to implode in a massive shock wave that is first heard then seen; a supernova. In our galaxy super novas are rarely witnessed; in boxing they happen MUCH more often.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. one of the biggest boxing stars in the galaxy is in the process of imploding. Expect the process to be extremely loud, highly visible and probably very dangerous. Scientists try explain the cosmos based on mathematics and observable patterns. Let?s take a minute to do some math by adding these patterns together?
Floyd Mayweather?s lack of respect for women is accounted for by eight separate charges including battery he faces prosecution for in the State of Nevada. This is his second experience facing such charges, these much more serious.
Floyd?s complete disrespect for other fighters and people who surround him are accounted for by numerous tirades like the racist slurs against Pacquiao, his chaotic relationship with Floyd Sr., his in ring tactics against Gatti and most notably this weekends more heavy handed sucker punch against Ortiz.
His on and off again dedication to the sport, distracted by a large posse of famous ?Hip Hop? moguls who he burns money (litteraly) with into the early hours of dawn follow him everywhere including into the ring this past Saturday.
Mayweather?s vicious insulting of HBO Commentator Larry Merchant in the Ring following his latest ?victory? is only further evidence of his lack of emotional control.
All of these factors add up to a pattern of behavior that is eerily reminiscent of what happened to Mike Tyson, before that star imploded.
With this in mind it would be wise for other stars like Manny Pacquiao (who still have plenty of their own light to shine) to resist an attraction to the bright flares and loud booms of such a dying star. Physics teaches us that after the noise and flash of a supernova die down these dead stars eventually become black holes. Black holes only live to dim the brightness of other stars by sucking them into their vast emptiness.
