FLOYD MAYWEATHER: A LIAR, GENIUS, OR BOTH?

MAYWEATHER TALKING OUT BOTH SIDES OF MOUTH

San Francisco, CA- ?We only want to fight and the biggest and the best out there, and Manny Pacquiao, yes, you are next.? This from Floyd Mayweather on the dais at a press conference for the Victor Ortiz fight. When I first saw the footage, I was saying finally, it appears that some behind the curtains, a third man will work out a deal for Mayweather-Pacquiao they?ve come to some behind the scenes.? Mayweather said this with the brashness of a fight that he wanted dearly, but now that is called into question. Unless you?ve been hidden under a rug or instintualized, you know that the only boxing match that have the squares are interested, it?s Pacquiao-Mayweather. When I refer to people that are squares, I?m talking about somebody that has either not seen a huge fight, or will be sucked in by the talk around the water cooler and all the promotional hype.

FLOYD PLAYING ALI-LIKE MIND CONTROL GAMES ON MANNY & ARUM

The video of Mayweather denying calling Pacquiao out, stating exactly the following when asked at a later date. ?I?ve never said that, i?ve never said that at all. So don?t be putting words in my mouth, the media is good for that.? The author of the video, I entitled it, ?Will Floyd Mayweather fight Manny Pacquaio on May 5?? to entice the masses, the author of the video assemblage of direct quotes really named it, ?Floyd Mayweather Lied To His Fans.? It appears the latter and not the former applies here.

FLOYD STEALS CINCO DE MAYO DATE FROM BOB ARUM & PACQUIAO

On or around the time the Don King promotional ship took on water and all but sunk, Bob Arum was the guy with the Cinco De Mayo fight date. Now Mayweather and his advisors, and I believe these are two separated parties, one of which is Leonard Ellerbe, are pulling a Joe Frazier-like move by taking away the second biggest party day/weekend for Hispanics. I mean, Arum and Manny can?t go on the same day. If they did, they?d essentially be slashing their own promotional throat. They can?t afford to do an event and split the audience with Floyd. Have you seen yet that Floyd has just snatched the big psychological all the crap i?ve seen hurled as Arum, in years, my God, he?s slipping and thus allowed the Cinco De Mayo holiday 2012 weekend to get away from him seeing Floyd has the date and the MGM Grand.
