As America celebrates Labor Day, boxing fans are still wondering when Manny Pacquiao will labor again.
Pacquiao has clearly been hesitant to agree to either a fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez or a second bout against Timothy Bradley.
Pacquiao is showing zero enthusiasm about a do-over with either the Mexican counterpuncher and toestepper or the agile but punchless American. View slideshow: Cotto orders Trout Almondine but Pacquiao only wants Mayweather on his menu
Yes, there was a possible second bout against redoubtable Boricua Bomber Miguel I’m No Angel Cotto but the man from Caguas has opted to go fishing for a Madison Square Garden victory against Austin Trout.
For those of you scoring at home, that’s two opponents Pacquiao is not interested in and one who just scratched his name off the list.
Pacquiao has turned the page and now Bob Arum should do the same. Pacquiao wants his next foe to be Floyd Mayweather Jr. and now it’s incumbent on his promoter to pull out all the stops to make the biggest money match extant.
Pacquaio only wants to fight one guy and, for that, he should be applauded.
Repeat recitals with Juan Ma or young Bradley are meaningless.
Let them fight each other.
Cotto’s gone Trout fishing.
But Pacquiao wants Arum to be his Ahab, to bring him Moby Mayweather,, the big whale.
Get busy, Uncle Bob. Breaking bread with Couisin Al Haymon won’t be that terrible.
Pacquiao wants Mayweather on his menu.
He won’t accept any substitutes nor should he.
Call it a Congressional decree.
