The news of Floyd Mayweather’s sentencing has sent shockwaves throughout the boxing community, sparking a ton of reaction from fans and media alike. The emails have not stopped pouring with questions about how this will affect Mayweather’s career and a potential showdown with Manny Pacquiao. Although I don’t have all the answers, I do have an opinion, so check out what I had to say to inquiring minds who want to know.
Hello Ben. Hope all is well. Now that Mayweather is sentenced to 6 months in Jail will we ever see the May-Paq fight? Can the fight happen in June like Arum wanted (allegedly)? If they can somehow postpone the Jail time, will the fight still happen in May? You’ve reported that Arum has continued to basically fool Paq into thinking he’s working on the fight, but Paq is a grown man…does he not know this or read reports on his own sport? When does he say make the Mayweather fight happen or I wont fight for you again? Is it difficult to get an interview with him? I believe when you get to that level he no longer has to say “let me see what my promoter wants”. Arum is 80 and he’s not taking that money where he’s going. He needs to do something he hasn’t done in a long time and that’s purposely give people a fight in demand where the fighters are not both in his stable. When does the time come for reporters and fans alike to say we’re going to boycott and stop giving you both millions unless you fight?
Sergio Martinez: I’m starting to feel bad for this guy. It seems like he was born 20 pounds too heavy to be a superstar. How would he do if he was a welterweight? I personally believe because of his age and the way he fights (Roy Jones like) he has two years left of his prime max. Why aren’t the Mexican people pressuring Chavez to step up to the plate? It seems these days all fighters care about is their freaking record and not fighting the best.
