?Floyd Jr. engaged in business of cowardice??

THE latest on the torrid but fruitless chase of a Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight has Bill Clinton being suggested as a last-resort negotiator by no less than trainer Freddie Roach.
Cried Roach, as quoted by dailynews.com: ?I said there?s too much (expletive) between you guys. Bill Clinton knows boxing, very bright guy...?
This was posted shortly after it was revealed by a source, via Sports Illustrated, that Mayweather now plans to demand a 70-30 division of the hundred-million-dollar plus proposed purse.
**
This therefore led one Twitter user to surmise that even the Pope, given Mayweather?s hysterical demand, cannot stop the unbeaten pound-for-pound king from ducking Pacquiao.
?The question of the day is whether Floyd Mayweather is the money-making genius he claims to be or is he really, as detractors suggest, commercing in the business of cowardice?? wrote Matthew Fellows of Liberty Voice.
OK, so what will stop dreamers from suggesting Barack Obama next?
**
Here at home one avid senior boxing aficionado said it?s about time Mayweather got a new fitting name.
?Because he?s deathly afraid of Pacquiao, I will change his surname to Fearweather,? texted veteran journalist Bert de Guzman of Balita.
He added that Mayweather?s first name ?will be Foiled instead of Floyd.?
Flawed (in all kinds of) Weather?
**
Anyway, veteran Bert has been advised that, given the inferior ring generalship displayed in his tasteless conquest of the frantically retreating Chris Algieri last month, Pacquiao could be in for a rough sailing against Mayweather.
Why?
Because the dream bout, if it ever takes place, should develop into a contest of craft and competence?
What do you mean?
It will be a pure and compelling boxing contest, not a ruthless slugout.
Whatever, Pacquiao should be able to hit Fearweather even just once, retorted veteran Bert.
Pray that makes the difference.
