WHEN TO BOYCOTT OR BUY MAYWEATHER AND PACQUIAO


PhilBoxing.com





What is the condition?

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. can always fight other boxers if they want, sure. But they have to fight each other FIRST in order to succeed. This is to counter ploys and guarantee that indeed they will fight each other while the fight matters, and before they reach septuagenarian.

Except you believe and act on your belief that there is no tomorrow but today in dealing with or defeating the ?business only? mentality among the carnivorous, involving these famous cash cows, boxing will always take a beating to the utter detriment of the fans and everyone else in the sport.

If not now, when? We need to persist talking to the brats, crocs and crooks in the language they lucidly understand. Great, the Mega Bout is getting nearer than ever as the fans and people are undaunted playing their part and speaking with clarity. You are in the wrong place if you?re not with the enlightened people. In the midst of a great need to be heard, you can?t afford just to be silent.

But while you stumble and fall, what makes others stand?

The sport is at a critical crossroad, yet again. Would you stay ill rather than get healed? What?s healthy about buying ?shows? that worsen the sport?s condition if there?s a Fight in limbo to solve its lingering problems? Who but the jerks would contradict what they already know is the cure that would cure themselves?
Some call this mental dishonesty, but it?s actually cerebral palsy.

Wilds in boxing have made countless broken promises in the past. Where then is the reason to give credence to their latest promise to ?surprise? us all in May or in the fall of next year? Even if you see thousands of Mayweather?s vans outside of Top Rank?s office, what is there to speculate except another trick? And no matter how sensational may be the talks of Pacquiao openly challenging Mayweather, what?s to be believed unless they agree on paper to finally stage the long-awaited, incessantly-clamored, sickening bout between them?

No problem, let them do want they want while we do what we MUST. And it?s in doing that you can be proven to be truly a part of media or a certified outsider jerk. When has virtue become subordinate to anything mundane, including ?charity? works?

All Pac-Floyd scoops and drama would be promotional gimmick to entice or catch affection for their upcoming, equally WORTH BOYCOTTING carnivals branded as the ?Mayhem? Floyd-Maidana II and ?Ehem? Pac-Algieri, including their other future ?PPV Swindles? and media ?tours.? But of course this is not until they affix their signatures on dotted lines to make the one and only super ?Super Fight? for this era. If you win in this battle, you win over greed, cowardice and deceit.

Truth is most radiant when challenged not by lies, but by half-truths and skepticism. And falsehood is at its barest when it does its best to cover sinister intentions. You can?t ?map? sin however ?big? you are. On sinking ground you stand or fall if you are not on the side of Truth. Good and evil can?t co-exist as victors.

Media?s character is that of its nation?s, or boxing?s. Will it be distinct? Beyond reporting and opinionating, your mission as members of media is to reflect divinity in the practice of your profession because it?s The Way to carry out your purpose and to light up a darkened world. The world needs warriors on their feet before tyrants and bullies. Put heart and soul into your pens, and be heroic.

But who are the real and who are not? How do we separate sheaves from wolves, crops from chaffs? Doesn?t the Good Book warn us, ?You shall know them by their fruit?? Why become a curse when you can be a blessing? Aren?t you glad that you may be The Answer to revive an ailing sport should you resolve to rise up from madness?

Patriotism isn?t unjust and dumb.

Truth is universal.

Be on track.
