SHAME on the Mayweathers, Oscars, Schaefers and Ellerbes.
You made people believe sugar is as salty as the dead sea.
Shame on you guys.
You set different standards in picking a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Shame on you guys.
You blabber as you put your feet where your mouths are.
Shame on you guys.
You are scuttling the biggest fight boxing fans will die to see for.
If and when the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is called off, it will not be because Manny does not want to do it.
It is because you guys don’t want it to happen.
Is Manny on the ‘roids?
Maybe yes. Maybe not.
But if your bases are Manny’s phenomenal success in carrying his speed and power punches and more as he continues to move up in weight, you are dead wrong because it did not happen overnight.
Maybe you did not see Manny’s siblings and estranged father.
Maybe you missed seeing Manny’s younger brother Bobby tip the scales at 130 pounds while Manny was fighting at 126 pounds.
Maybe you did not bother ask what the weight of Manny’s brother Rogel was on times he was in Las Vegas to watch his superstar brother annihilate all marquee boxers Golden Boy threw against him inside the ring.
Or maybe you just conveniently found the door for Floyd Mayweather Jr’s graceful exit so he could keep his clean record intact.
There is a formula to end the impasse you yourself created.
If you were willing to shell out $10 million for every pound or a fraction thereof in fines if Floyd comes in over the weight limit, you could have as well demanded that Manny forfeit his guaranteed purse if he comes out ‘dirty’ and on the ‘roids.
And Manny could also demand that the winner takes all of the guaranteed purses if he is clean and wins against Floyd.
Don’t worry. Floyd will not come out empty handed. He will have his share in the live gate proceeds, the close circuit TV, and fight merchandise and upside of the PPV. Manny could even underwrite the taxes that the IRS will withhold from Floyd.
You are playing high-stake poker?
You might as well go all in.
But to insist and be inflexible in Olympic-style blood testing is to display hypocrisy at its worst.
You have not demanded this against any boxer Floyd Jr and rest of Golden Boy’s wards have fought.
Why demand it now when the fight is all but sealed and delivered?
Manny could afford to walk away from the fight on principle and not out of fear.
If and when this fight pushes through and Manny comes out clean and then proceed to annihilate Floyd, the Filipino boxer will have the last laugh.
Mark my word.
