Fear apparently has a deadline.
Deciding since Floyd Mayweather claims to be his own boss, Manny Pacquiao decided to boss Floyd around and tell him that he has until the end of the month to agree to fight him.
Enough is enough. The ball is clearly in Floyd’s hands now, and in a week when fair one’s have been the topic of discussion, the only one unquestionably losing air now- is Floyd’s.
If we do not have an agreement from “Pretty Boy” Floyd Joy “Money” Mayweather Jr., the so-called “TBE” and the universally recognized best fighter in the world, by Superbowl XLIX, then the fight’s off. And no one in their right mind could place blame on anyone or anything other than Mayweather at this point.
May 2nd date? Fine.
“A” side of the promotion? No problem.
60-40 split? So be it.
Last to enter the ring? You got it.
Las Vegas, Nevada and the MGM Grand where you can put Xylocaine on your hands? Be my guest.
Pacquiao might even wear 30 ounce gloves and agree to have his feet tied, if it meant getting this apprehensive, reluctant and petulant clown into the ring.
There is no way in hell, after all of the madness and subterfuge; after a near six year back and forth saga, after his December 12th challenge of Pacquiao to a May 2nd fight, that “TBE” can allow the Filipino icon to come to the U.S. to promote his film “Manny”, then get on ESPN in Los Angeles to tell the world he’s scared of him.
You want a detailed description of all the sh*t he talked about Mayweather? Here’s the transcript from ESPN, the most credible sports outlet on the planet. Pacquiao didn’t go to some in-house and bought media source like “FightHype” and a brown-nosing Ben Thompson as is the M.O. of a script loving Floyd.
No.
He went where the entire world could see and hear just clearly he wants to fight Mayweather tomorrow, and just how confident he feels he’d not only beat him- but that he’d do it “easily”.
I got Pacquiao up about 5 rounds already in this fight, with one of them being a 10-8 round. That one of course, is due to the fact that he successfully sued him for defamation. I’ve said this before- Floyd only settled that case when evidence was about to be presented about his own alleged steriod use.
I’ll give Floyd the 1st round because of his unprecedented Olympic drug testing ploy- but his card has been pulled on that. He has constantly whined about Bob Arum, who is not (and I repeat “NOT”) in the way of this fight now (if he ever has been). He loses points for going there again. There is no network impediment nor one from Al Haymon.
Pacquiao has completely taken away the social media tactics Floyd was employing; instead, now poking him with taunts and challenges via Twitter and Instagram to get him into the ring. Pacquiao has actually wanted to appear in studio on ESPN or via satellite with Mayweather, to refute many of the notions Mayweather has made to the public via (eh-mm..) “FightHype”.
*** *** *** *** *** ***
Here’s an open statement directly to you Floyd- and perhaps someone can read it to you if its difficult.
You have repeatedly declined to come on ESPN to face the public. A public that has made you wealthy, and you’ve repeatedly decided to deny “YOUR” fans this fight. The greatest superfight I’ve ever known of in my life was between “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler and Thomas “Hitman” Hearns, and perhaps you should take notes Floyd.
They didn’t do sweet sh*t like “tweet” or talk sh*t about promoters, “A” sides, or PPV numbers, etc…. They trashed talked on camera, and I included a clip of them doing that right here. They had HONOR, something you can’t spell. Can you Floyd? You’ve actually never been face-to-face with Pacquiao… Know why?
BECAUSE YOU’RE SCARED OF HIM.
You think Hagler was worried about Hearns after seeing what he did to Duran? No. Was he calling himself “TBE” like you? Or was he proving he was better than Hearns? You can listen to what Stephen A. Smith has to say about you lately right here while you’re at it (he ROASTED YOU), and you can also know this…
If you find a way to duck out of this fight and do not agree to terms by the Superbowl, you’ll be a considered a complete disgrace to your family and to the sport of boxing and its history.
Your 47-0 will mean NOTHING, and I will NOT watch your next fight if its not Pacquiao. For as brave as you’ve been in being a fine champion and one of the greatest fighters of this generation or any other- it won’t matter. Floyd- he CALLED YOU OUT. He made an “L” sign for the camera and called you a “Loser” while laughing Floyd…
If you do not face Manny Pacquiao on May 2, 2015, we will all know you as nothing but a COWARD.
