BOYCOTT AND SANITY VS. JERKS AND CROOKS IN BOXING MEDIA (Part VII) By Reni M. Valenzuela PhilBoxing.com Sat, 13 Sep 2014  Can?t you look beyond the thinness of a mirror? Men who couldn?t find reason to boycott Floyd ?Money? Mayweather tomorrow simply need to love their wives and children (not money) if they are blind to what I espouse in my current series of articles about boxing as a sick but fighting sport. Says Gloria Allred, lawyer for Mayweather?s battered ex-fiancee Shantiel Jackson: ?I think that people should boycott the fight on Saturday in protest of Mayweather?s history and current stance on domestic violence, as well as his support of Ray Rice.? Sarah Spain of ESPN asked: ?How can one watch him box without picturing his fists pummeling not his opponent, but a defenseless woman? How can one acknowledge his fighting prowess without wondering how many women have fallen victim to it outside the ring?.. Sports fans should boycott Floyd Mayweather?s fight this weekend.? To media: Won?t you close your eyes for a while to grasp some truth and learn to truly love Floyd Mayweather? The two months Mayweather spent in Las Vegas jail a couple of years ago must have done him good especially if he read the Bible and book I sent him during that time, but if you hold your ?hallelujah? for the time being until you succeed showing him the grace, justice and sovereignty of God, you certainly will accomplish more. Would you kiss or read their lips? The only serious concern for Pac-Arum-Koncz tandem and Money plus cohorts at this time is their goal and consuming passion to sell the Mayweather-Maidana ?Mayhem? and Pacquiao-Algieri ?Ehem? in the midst of a widespread mood among genuine fans to shun the shows. Could this be Mr. Bean toying with ?scribes? in the gallery? It is widely circulated in media that Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum have some ?serious? ongoing negotiations with Mayweather and his camp purportedly for a fight or fights between Pac and Floyd in 2015. Another is Floyd?s denial of such secret talk simultaneous with his announcement or ?promise? to retire (or duck someone) next year only to likely reappear (as he did in the past) when Pac finally decides in the future to become a full-fledged caricature in politics from being an admirable icon in boxing. So what to the scoops, or parody? Lazarus is about to ?come forth.? But how is it going now? Brats and crocs will exploit all conceivable means to catch the interest of the world and make unsuspecting creatures yield and believe their broken record of false promises purely intended to fill covetous pockets once again, and with blinding magic. Backed up by certified jerks and crooks, look at the wild feasting before a Golden Calf. What?s legal about anything corrupt and oppressive? You can neither bribe nor intimidate Truth. Nothing else will guarantee the Mega Bout next year and the healing of boxing except when fans, people and the incurruptible media boycott the Maidana and Algieri farce opposite the cash cows. Take the stand and assert your right. This is ?People Power? without banners, tanks, flowers and mass convergence - but never without prayer, brain and courage. Cabs and bones have reason to chill at the prospects of Truth. ?? wise as a serpent, humble as a dove.?
