Pound-for-pound and Pay-per-View king Floyd Mayweather, Jr. insists: “There’s no blueprint on how to beat me.”
“At age 35, I am still going strong. I am still hungry and I still want to give the fans nothing but excitement.”
Mayweather, Jr. gears up for the May 5 super fight against WBA Super Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada which will be televised live by HBO Pay-per-View.
Outside of the ring, he hits the air like one of intriguing force being America’s current greatest sports personality who knows how to play the media game to his advantage. As the finest athletic super fighter of the world, he is also an arch-villain. For him, acclaim and notoriety go hand-in-hand. Ready to serve his jail sentence starting first week of June 2012, he did a sweeping influence upon the way the judicial system is being run in Nevada.
He avoided the 90-day jail time Friday until June 1 in Las Vegas involving domestic violence case with his ex-girlfriend.
Last December 21, Mayweather, Jr., 35, pleaded guilty to a “reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges”.
Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa had imposed such ruling based on plea deal and scheduled Mayweather, Jr. to turn himself in supposedly last January 6.
But, Saragosa said she weighed Mayweather’s contractual obligations as Mayweather’s lawyer Richard Wright pleaded with the the same judge to allow Mayweather, Jr. to pursue his appointed fight schedule on Cinco de Mayo in Las Vegas, where Mayweather, Jr.’s management reserved a May 5 date at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. And, this might just overturn Manny Pacquiao’s option to single out Mayweather, Jr.’s as his probable opponent sometime this coming Spring.
Meanwhile, Mayweather, Jr. may have no animosity with his longtime rival World boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao. But, ongoing war of words that may last well beyond their few fights before they retire from boxing continues to make boxing alive. After failing to perfect negotiations in order to materialize their purported bout, they still both have common words to effect: “Let’s do it in 2012!’
