Why wait till last minute?
People are wondering what?s in the dotted line that keeps your signature from it. There?s nothing else to ponder about the terms and conditions in the contract. What whims and caprices do you intend to further include in the deal? Manny Pacquiao has already heeded reason and yielded several of his rights during the negotiations.
Stop just dribbling the ball.
Hey Floyd, you can?t beat ?defeat,? flaunt your ?unblemished? record and continue tripping the gullible by running away from your biggest challenge. Prevent your fans from ultimately abandoning you and so convert bashers to being your admirers. It is bad if you hate critics, but worse that you seem to hate yourself. Face fear and you won?t duck Pacquiao. Then history will be yours.
You?ve admitted a few days ago that your representatives have indeed an ongoing negotiation with the Pacquiao camp and you?ve said you?re hoping that May 2 will be a fight for you versus no other than Pacman. But what does it mean to a tired and hungering world if you won?t sign the contract now or before the people?s set deadline, January 31?
?We?re going to make the fight happen. We?re trying, but it?s been extremely difficult dealing with Top Rank,? you said. Common, why be problematic about Top Rank? You are now dealing with the people of the world. It was the people who have set the terms and conditions. And it is to the people that you will be accountable, not Top Rank.
Talk about norms and insult to intelligence and we need only to look at ourselves to admit that life is a big joke. Oftentimes what we actually experience and intentionally do in life is downright ironic and opposed to ideal, good living. God is great, though. He has provided us a way out through the Cross. Do you believe?
Mayweather seem to be adding reason for haters to hate him as it is becoming obvious that he is just using Bob Arum as a scapegoat to evade Pacquiao. Arum?s involvement is a non-issue at this time since Pacquiao is duty bound to fulfill an obligation under his renewed contract with Top Rank until 2016. How then can Arum be out of the negotiations as you are demanding?
But for all intents and purposes, is there any reason why Showtime and HBO can?t work together to make this historic world event? Greed, Floyd, is what needs to step aside in the talks, not Top Rank.
Endless excuses.
However, the Filipino boxing icon would be well advised never to sign an ?A side? version of the contract in the event Mayweather would purpose to alter or revise key provisions of the agreement as follows: The sharing of the purse and revenues is 95/5 in favor of Floyd. The contest will be fought at heavyweight 210 lbs. Pacquiao?s photo will not appear in banners and promotions. The blood test will be administered by vampires daily from Genesis to Revelation until fight night. The date will be on May 32 at the exact place where man first landed on the moon. And only Mayweather will enter the ring.
Is the ?unbeaten? boxer really insisting on being the ?A side? or suicide? You have no choice, Floyd. It is day at night. And the light is up even after sunset.
Sign the contract or you damn yourself.
Be loved.
