LAS VEGAS — Well, as the old prospector liked to remind the tenderfoot, “You never know how much you appreciate the quiet until the jackass starts to bray.”
Here we are at Pacquiao-Marquez, one day until the big night, and the real news in this town Thursday was that Floyd Mayweather Jr. actually showed for a court-ordered deposition.
For most people, that’s sort of routine. But then most people do not think they are slicker than the entire judicial system. You may recall the slander suit entered into by Manny Pacquiao and Top Rank over Mayweather’s claims or shadowy inferences that Pacquiao is a steroid user or a human growth hormone user.
If you don’t, then be aware that in the past on YouTube, while a noisy claque of the subjects of Floyd’s Kingdom looked on and applauded on cue, his frenzied rambling ran the gamut from “he (Pacquiao) is on the juice” to racism and other mouthings of the Gospel according to Floyd.
