WORLD Boxing Organization and World Boxing Council bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire Jr. came to the aid of his compatriot Manny Pacquiao by chiding thrash-talking Floyd Mayweather Jr. for the latter?s challenges issued via tweeter.
Donaire told boxing website examiner.com that the unbeaten American boxer just wants attention, ?What Floyd is doing is another ploy, another thing he does to get in people?s heads. That?s just Floyd. He likes it to happen on his terms and he knows how to get people by using words that are negative, to get their attention,? Donaire told examiner.com writer Chris Robinson.
?I think Floyd?s a very smart guy and he knows how to strategize. I think that?s one of his strategies, going in and trying to get the fight. And if it does, everybody?s going to be scrambling, while at the same time he?s the one driving the car. It?s just Floyd being Floyd.?
Donaire opined that promoters are mainly to blame particularly Bob Arum on why the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather mega-fight has not materialized until now. He added that the boxers themselves should push for the fight to happen,
?The thing is everybody wants to make this fight happen. It?s just a matter of how it is business-wise. And how much they gain from it and how difficult it may be. It?s just one of those things, they?re both superstars and it?s not like they don?t have the voice. They do have the voice. It?s really not just Arum. It?s up to the guys as well, because they have the voice. It?s just up to them to make it happen,? he added.
