Disastrous, another black eye for boxing.
The sport is killing itself, put it on suicide watch immediately.
Remember all those crybabies who were weeping and gnashing their teeth when the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao negotiations finally broke down over random drug testing?
Talk about overkill.
Now, the gloom and doom is lifting. Andre Berto understandably decided, although he may have gotten a cash inventive to help convince him, that his mental outlook was not right in the wake of the earthquake in his family homeland of Haiti.
So now Floyd Mayweather’s legend is on the line. I think that Sugar Shane Mosley is so eager for this showdown and the huge payday attached to it that would accept random urine and blood testing only under two conditions.
Relax, relax, I mean he will allow both types of random testing only when is either awake or asleep.
Mayweather can’t duck out on this all American matchup without leaving a permanent stain. Fraudweather, Duckweather. Kentucky Floyd Chicken and all those derogatory names attached to him for not fighting Pacman would be doubled.
Those insults would turn into Mayweather’s reality.
I love the matchup and skipping the Berto bout is the best thing to happen for Mosley in a long time.
Pacland
If he didn’t shine against Berto, he would have hurt his bargaining power for either Mayweather or Pacquiao.
He also could’ve been cut or otherwise injured and Mayweather could have stalled him until his 40th birthday or longer.
Now Mayweather is boxed in, so to speak.
I’d call it Mosley-Mayweather, The American Dream because it is.
It also sets up an NFL post-season scenario for fight fans.
Assuming Pacman handles his business against Joshua Clottey, a game guy who takes his foot off the gas pedal late when it matters most, then the Mosley-Mayweather winner stands ready, willing and able to match up with Megamanny.
Shane and Floyd fight for the AFC championship and the winner moves on to boxing’s answer to the Super Bowl.
While they are fighting on May 1, which they will, Pacman can be getting his political footing in the Philippines. Either that, or he’ll be licking his wounds from a loss to Chiongbian family dynasty in Sarangani.
By that time, random blood testing will be in the rear view mirror.
So the bottom line here is, if Mayweather beats Mosley then Floyd against Manny skyrockets in terms of their purses ($40 million to $60 million?).
The alternative, Mosley testing Manny, is not chopped liver by itself.
So who’s a loser here? Not Pacquiao, not boxing fans and certainly not the survivor of the May 1 mega bout.
We started the year looking at one super fight and now we envision two of them.
I like 2010 already.
Cancel the funeral especially the bocing burial.
The “deceased” is about to kick a hole in the casket.
Make that two holes.
