Roach has neither shame nor credibility when it comes to playing head games and his never-ending act has become tedious?
?I?m not too cool to admit that I am really, really looking forward to Mayweather-Pacquiao. Sure, there?s no guarantee that it?ll be a classic. It probably won?t be. Most sporting events are not classics, even those of great importance. But this is our Super Bowl and NBA Finals all rolled into one?This is a fight of historical significance and one our grandkids will be asking us about long after the momentary buzz of Provodnikov-Matthysse has completely faded away.??Paul Magno-The Boxing Tribune
Back on March 12, 2015, I wrote one titled ?May vs. Pac: The First Ultra-Cringe? involving some strange conduct by Justin Bieber. See: http://www.boxing.com/may_vs._pac_the_first_ultra_cringe.html
I pointed out that it would be the first of many bizarre incidents to come.
Now there is no denying the historical significance of the May 2 fight, but the glitz and bling that has been a part of the build-up along with a never-ending tsunami of horrendous media coverage has been less-than-compelling. In this connection, here is another sampling of recent article titles:
?Is Floyd Mayweather At Risk Of Bankruptcy?
?Mayweather Sr. vs. Ariza: That son of a bitch ain?t strengthening nobody?
?ARIZA ISN?T BOTHERED BY FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR?S TIRADE?
?Roach: Mayweather not in top 100 in boxing?
?Pacquiao confidence, optimism rooted in God? ?Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas predicts a KO for Floyd Mayweather over Manny Pacquiao?
Dave Bontemps: ?I think Pacquiao?s gonna have a moment in the Mayweather fight where he cannot have it go to the judges?
?Maybe IT IS Time For Floyd To Lose!??
?I?ll Fight for the Filipino People? Is No ?Eye of the Tiger, But??
?Pacquiao shocked Roach by showing him videos of his losses ?
?Floyd Mayweather Jr. Argues That He?s Better Than Muhammad Ali?
?Mayweather: Destroys Pacquiao, Ali and Robinson on ESPN with Stephen A. Smith?
?Floyd Mayweather Jr. Thinks He Deals With The Same Level Of Racism As Muhammad Ali?
Then this:
?Freddie Roach: Training Manny Pacquiao Saved Me From [sic] Suicide?
Said Roach in an article on ESB, ?I have a neurologist and I told him that sometimes I think about killing myself. He asked me why and I said it?s sometimes difficult dealing with all this shit.? But Freddie goes on to say, ?I?m just killing time, I?m not going to hurt myself. I have to convince my neurologist I?m not that sort of person.?
Roach has neither shame nor credibility when it comes to playing head games and his never-ending act has become tedious.
And finally this ultra cringer from Justin Bieber who at least is somewhat unpredictable:
?Deakin vs. Bieber ? Let?s Get It On!?
When untrue rumors surfaced last month that Bieber would make his pro boxing debut on the May-Pac undercard, Rockin Robin issued a challenge as follows on Twitter:
?@justinbieber It?s my birthday, agree the fight! You and your trainer stop bottling it. #BritainsWorstBoxer [Rockin Robin Deakin 1-51] vs. Justin Bieber 0-0-0. It sells?
Leave it to Bieber
