SHOWTIME?S ESPINOZA MUDDLING THE ISSUE IN ?PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER?

Stephen Espinoza of Showtime Sports is out of tune.
You don?t set the record straight by making claims that would set common sense reasoning crooked. The ?Pacquiao-Mayweather? contract we are talking about may be a literal piece of paper or figure of speech that contains all the components needed for a contract to be typewritten literally on a sheet of paper. It may not be a contract drafted by Espinoza and the Money Team, but it?s a ?contract? drafted in thinking minds that has the approval of the people.
Just hours ago, in an interview by Ben Thompson of Fighthype.com, Espinoza stated: ?Floyd isn?t holding anything up? There is no contract that is awaiting Floyd?s signature? there?s no agreement or closed deal or contract or anybody signing off on anything.?
True or not, Espinoza?s words don?t belie the fact that there has been an ongoing negotiation between the camps of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. And that the contract?s ?articles? and ?provisions? divulged by Top Rank?s Bob Arum are fair and square.
Kindly pick up litters on the floor.
For the enlightenment of confused souls, you don?t have to literally hold your kid?s book in front of him before you tell him to study his lessons. The book or the terms and conditions have been set in ?black and white? and they?re the most ideal and sensible thus far.
And that?s the contract Floyd has to sign.
Be straight, or be fooled.
