A mate of mine just posted this "If Mayweather now rejects the 14 day cut off, I don't think it's an indication of his fear of Pacquiao (far from it). Instead, it just confirms what we’ve all believed from the very beginning – this cleaning up the sport parade is one pathetic front, to get a distracted Manny Pacquiao in to the ring. Floyd’s a competitor more than anything else, and he will pull almost any trick in the book to get a competitive advantage (be it physical or mental) going in to a fight"
Interesting take
Mack 05,
We had a similiar discussion earlier in the year...... Mayweather is about the MONEY. He will use any and all "tactics" to gain an advantage (ie. All's fair in love and war). Naazim R. pointed this tactic out in 24/7 episode #3...."he wins the battle before the fight......everyone should have been aware of this after watching DLH vs PF (24/7) when acted a complete fool.....after that everyone should have been hip to his tactics". PF wants the fight, he wants the MONEY and he wants the attention(FAME). He could fight Martinez, he could fight Cotto and make sizeable profits but he wants the big prize and that is the fight with PAC-MAN.
PF and his team are playing "shoot and volley" and we as fans are fuelling the frenzy......as we blog and/or twitter..... we are fuelling the fire and causing the estimated pay-off to increase for both fighters......if PF can make 22.5 million base from the SSM fight what do you think the base profit will be if he fights PAC-MAN???/
PF could make 20 million base off of Cotto and probably 15 million base off of Martinez but PAC-MAN is probably closer to 40 million base (w/o PPV) but the window of opportunity is closing
PAC-Man will be moving to a new chapter in his life and boxing is going to take a back seat (it should because his country needs him to be focused and he probably has aspiration to be president some day). So the window and the HUGE PAY DAY opportunity are closing for both fighters.
PF has 3 maybe 4 four more huge pay days and then he will fade but I think tragically PF's life and life style will ultimately be his undoing (ie. LIFE and TIMES of 2Pac are examples that coming to mind) But as an African American, I hope and pray that he can escape his own demons......but I wonder!!!!!!!!
TEAM MAYWEATHER and TEAM PAC-MAN are media giants......don't underestimate them
just my opinion
