‘MY SPIT IS PAID FOR. WHAT ABOUT YOURS?”
In the wake of the 9/11 tragedy in America, people kept talking about how all of us had to resume our regular daily activities.
President Bush urged Americans to go shopping.
We were urged to travel by air, to pump money into the stock market, etc.
And you know the tag line, “If you don’t go bowling every Friday night like you used to then, then the terrorists have won.”
The Mayweather Family are all red, white and blue Americans, I’m sure, but they have been terrorizing the world of boxing. I mean that in a good way.
Therefore, let me pull your coat to if you’re doing or not doing certain things “then the Mayweathers have won…”
If you’re…
Bashing the Manny Pacquiao drug use rants of Floyd Sr., who never thought he could whip up such a firestorm, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Boycott Floyd’s fight with Juan Manuel Marquez for any reason other than you think it’s going to be a snore-bore, then the Mayweathers have already won.
(Musical note: Insane Clown Posse’s only connection to the Mayweather family is that all are Michiganders.)
Acknowledge that, in England at least, the masses of erudite boxing aficionados, do appreciate the slick and scientific ring style of PBF, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Cheering for the Infernal Revenue Service, which just nicked “Money Must Pay” for his $5 million guaranteed purse, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Not realizing that his “only mega superstar” proclamations are just L’il Floyd’s way of trying to imply he is more important than Pacman, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Think that Pacquiao could possibly collect more than forty bucks by sueing Poppa M for his remarks, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Accept that the fact that the one, the only American superstar in boxing right now is Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr., then the Mayweathers have already won.
Can’t separate Mayweather’s constant hype from reality, for example when he said he had a $15 million purse for Marquez, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Can’t admit that his ring return has brought a sorely needed caffeine jolt of interest and excitement back to boxing, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Refuse to admit, at least to yourself, that Mayweather is a devilish figure by design, that he doesn’t need a red cape or a pitchfork to play the role, then the Mayweathers have already won.
Understand that Juan Ma, brave and talented fighter out of his weight class, is just a role player, a footstool Mayweather is standing on to build up a Pacquiao collision for 2010, then the Mayweathers have already won.
