A whole bunch of crap

Fistic sensation.
Adored by millions of boxing fans worldwide.
Pound for pound ultimate superstar.
Manny Pacquiao the fighter.
Money, power, sex---he's got it all---save for the best achievable ring plaudit that's missing in his trophy room--- Floyd Mayweather Junior's scalp.
The Sarangani Idol has done what's needed since getting out of the PH version of the ghetto. Those who try boxing for a living as almost everyone know aren't usually the moneyed class and by that yardstick Manny surely qualifies.
He's been blessed since getting into the rough and tumble world of pro-fighting.
Now his legion of followers want a resolution of the impasse plaguing his awaited fight date with the Money Mayweather that's been in limbo for over two years already.
Latest word emanating from Mayweather's team that the stalled match could happen has surfaced following Floyd's admission that he's ready for Manny anytime a deal is made.
Enter Leonard Ellerbie, chief executive officer of the Mayweather promotions who tells FightHype's Ben Thompson that all roads lead to Floyd if one talks of Manny facing the unbeaten Mayweather possibly in 2012.
"Floyd makes his own decisions whereas Manny I gather makes his after consulting with his dictators," Ellerbie teased.
First thing first though. Mayweather has an unfinished business with Victor Ortiz on September 17 while Pacquiao concludes a third bout with Juan Marquez on November 12 at the MGM Grand Arena where fans will savor once more a classic display of Manny's power punching and JuanMa's smart counter-punching.
Sacrifice and teamwork, key elements in concluding a deal as huge as the Pac/May fistic treat is lacking in Team Pacquiao's camp, charged Ellerbie who is blaming Michael Koncz, an underling who's been imposing himself even without an authority on the re-installed talks.
"Koncz knows nothing when it comes to boxing---he is one whole bunch of crap," adds Ellerbie.
Ouuch! Is a libel charge from the self styled chairman of the bored of the great unwashed of Alberta, Canada being mulled for filing against one named Leonard Ellerbie?
Stay Tuned.
