Something unusual happened this week. For the first time, the public has heard that a Golden Boy-promoted boxer has accused Floyd Mayweather of being afraid to fight Manny Pacquiao. This is a stunning revelation because Golden Boy, the promoter of Mayweather since the De La Hoya fight, is a major force involved in the cover-up of the controversial American?s alleged cowardice and reluctance to fight Manny Pacquiao in what will be the biggest event in boxing history.
This surprising quote was made this week in an interview at Fighthype.com by reporter Brad Jones with Amir Khan.
Jones asked light welterweight champion Khan about who would get the opportunity to fight Mayweather first, himself or Manny Pacquiao.
Khan, apparently not in accord with the company line, responded to Jones by saying: ?I think I?ll get that fight before Manny. Mayweather?s scared to fight Pacquiao??
To my knowledge this is the very first time any Golden Boy representative or athlete has publicly stated in such clear terms that Mayweather, the so-called defensive master and self-proclaimed ?greatest fighter in history? is literally scared of the notion of getting in the ring with Manny Pacquiao.
Who will be the next Golden Boy (or HBO) representative or promoted athlete to spill the beans that Mayweather is scared to fight Manny Pacquiao???
