Boxing Update: High time for Mayweather to define himself as the greatest boxer, as he takes on Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is living in a superb golf course manor of 9.5 million dollars worth in Las Vegas. Mayweather usually was seen in promoting his mansion whenever HBO approaches to focus his fights. People have contributed in buying this mansion, by spending $59.95 to watch his fight. Now it’s real time for Mayweather to bring some positive change.
Yea, it is time to forget all the justifications and stop all the delays. It’s high time for Mayweather to ultimately fight Manny Pacquiao. Fight date is already decided and the funds already are there. The concerns which prevented the previous fight in March are presently no more taken as issues. Mayweather seems comparatively as an unenthusiastic warrior for this fight. As Bob Arum said that, it is quite difficult to understand why.
Mayweather hasn’t started self assessment, while speaking to The Associated Press said that he has been enjoying holidays with his family and friends. Adding to this he said, for generating one more 40 million dollar amount, would have to wait. He wasn’t willing to show hasten in doing anything. Mayweather further said it is also important to consider what fans want to see, rather then our personal choice of fight. He wasn’t interested to fight in March, but he must have justification for that. Mayweather looked for Olympic style blood assessment and simply declined all efforts for the settlement of the concerns. Such excuses will not work anymore. The promoter of Pacquiao says that we have no objection on any sort of blood testing. Recent congressman from Philippines can’t obtain assurance. Now Pacquiao is waiting for his new challenge date with Mayweather, which is finalised for 13th November 2010.
As long he is playing with poolside, Pacquiao will also be seen playing with gym. Mayweather is more focusing on his future, but boxing fans are worried about how they are considering things. Roger Mayweather is committed and going to attend assault charges in Las Vegas to get practice for next fight. Supporters of Pacquiao believe that Mayweather is frightened from their man and he is even more anxious to lose first fight of his career. On the other hand, Mayweather has never showed a sign of fear in his fights. People say Mayweather started producing punches prior to learn walking. Mayweather is silent and hasn’t shown interest in verbal fighting before the actual fight. His quietness encouraged Arum to call a midnight news conference to express uncertain remarks and said either Pacquiao will fight Miguel Cotto or clash will be with disgraced contestant Antonio Margarito on Nov 13th. It was an attempt by Arum to control over both fighters. Pacquiao has ability to amiably make his millions with pay-per-view approach.
Arum is trying his best to put continuous pressure on Mayweather but he is not doing this by heart. He was seemed in different mood while telephonic interview on Monday and said, it isn’t mandatory for a kid to have one more fight this year, as I don’t want him to fight. Arum is not assigned the responsibility of dictating Mayweather to follow his timetables. Great fighters always wait for the big fights and the big fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao will be the biggest challenge.
Mayweather’s boxing career is at risk and his fight with Pacquiao will have only opportunity to change this perception. Mayweather already showed his bad guy appearance in his fight against Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. He fought merely two matches since returning from his short break from boxing. In May 2010, he won from the most experienced boxer Shane Mosley. Now the situation is, if Mayweather is interested to define himself as the greatest boxer, he has to fight Pacquiao. Moreover, he will have to claim it now as both fighters are at their peak performance.
