IF, finally, the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight is a no-go as the papers said, blame it on Floyd Mayweather Jr.
He gambled?and lost.
Look, Mayweather tried to bait Pacquiao into a word war.
Floyd accusing Pacman on steroids use to gain extra power is recklessness beyond compare.
Pacquiao sued Mayweather Jr. for defamation, practically killing the planned March 13 fight.
Mayweather Jr.?s bitter lesson: Don?t mess around with Pacquiao.
If he was successful with his taunting tactics against his previous 40 foes, no, not with Pacquiao. Never.
Pacman isn?t your run-of-the-mill type.
He is CEO, not the plumber.
He is COO, not the handyman.
He is papacy, not lunacy.
Mayweather Jr. should have known better.
Pacquiao belongs to a rare breed, is a cut above the rest.
I guess Mayweather Jr. should have known about that by now.
Pacquiao is of stuff unlike those that Mayweather had so thoroughly slashed into smithereens with his razor-sharp tongue.
I bet you, Mayweather Jr. is now twisting in the wind, simply at a loss for words to save the situation.
Utterly now on the precipice after a 9-hour marathon talk among stakeholders produced nothing, the so-called richest fight could yet transform into an ugly court clash from a perceived classic ring rage between two of the planet?s best fighters of the era.
Pacquiao is mad, very monstrously angry even, that he seems inconsolable.
I can?t blame him.
You are the pound-for-pound king, the owner of an unprecedented seven world titles in as many weight divisions, the toast from coast to coast.
Will you just allow a low-life species, a certified loudmouth, to sully your reputation in a veiled attempt to unnerve you, rattle you?
You don?t kid a king if you are not the court-jester, or you?ll see your head on a silver platter in a snap of a finger.
Or is Mayweather Jr. trying to be a smartass, essaying a script typical of boxing backroom maneuvering to create mass hysteria?
Remember, boxing is basically more of hype than fight. Close to being circus.
Sadly, seemingly, Mayweather Jr. has made some adlibs that were way out of line.
He is paying dearly for that–if he hasn?t yet.
