The 11-second clip is described as ?MUST SEE!!? by some and ?BS Propaganda? by others. They can?t both be right?
Floyd Mayweather and his team of topnotch media manipulators have released an 11-second video of his hour-long meeting with Manny Pacquiao in Miami. Described as ?MUST SEE!!? by some and ?BS Propaganda? by others, they can?t both be right.
But by selectively editing the video to show a nugget of conciliation, Floyd comes off as someone who really and truly wants the fight. He says, presumably to Pacquiao?s manager Michael Koncz, as Manny looks on impassively, ?I congratulate him on his career. He had a wonderful career, and I had a wonderful career. But before leaving the sport, of course, we have to make this fight happen.?
Those who see this as evidence that the fight is imminent are entitled to their opinion. Those who wonder what was said, about Bob Arum, about money, about concessions, about the nuts and bolts of making the fight a reality, can only speculate about what went down.
Getting all worked up over an 11-second clip is fine for those with a taste for crumbs. But if it?s a full course meal you?re after, you?ll have to look somewhere else.
