Boxing politics 101. Smear campaigns and personal attacks.

What's the quickest way to stop a growing fire?
Throw some water on it, or smother it out.

The fire for Mayweather vs Pacquiao was burning.... getting hotter and hotter.
Everyone wanted to see it, and some people actually thought Mayweather would have a chance at losing to the current #1 P4P fighter.
Floyd Mayweather's most cherished possession is his 0 losses.
He has been extremely intelligent in the ring, and very shady outside of it.
He has, to the dismay of boxing fans, carefully crafted his entire persona around being the best ever, being unbeatable, and untouchable.

His personal attacks on potential threats are well documented, and easily found everywhere you find his name.
He doesn't intend on fighting Shane Mosley.
He doesn't want a fight with Paul Williams.
He will never fight Margarito(who should be banned).
He will not give a shot to any up and comer.
If you don't agree with his selection for opposition, then you just "don't understand the business of boxing"
It's all about discrediting, and not about fighting.

"What have you done for the past 7 years?"
"Sit back and collected"

"What about your legacy?"
"Legacy don't pay my bills"

"Why won't you fight shane mosley?"
"Who, shane mosley who got 5 losses?"
"Shane mosley who was on steroids?"

The pattern set by this man is undeniable. His legacy is tarnished. He is slowly turning into a boxing "what if"
Don't let him now convince you that a very consistent Manny Pacquiao is now a Performance Enhancing Drug abuser. Don't buy into the politics and the smear campaign. It hurts boxing.
Boxing loses steam every time a fighter like Floyd opens his mouth and discredits it's combatants. The more you guys act like a mouth piece for this guy, the more credibility you give the art of ducking.
If you are a fan of mega fights, you should feel compelled to be outraged at Mayweather over this debacle.
Public demand will get this fight made, don't drop the charge and start calling Pacquiao a roider, save your energy for getting these 2 guys into the ring for boxing's sake.

 

I'm on the dick of this fight.
I want to see it.

 

Yeah, and it hurts the sport.
Why sit back and go "ok, cool, another big fight getting ducked out of"

 

I might have to lengthen my leash on you, you're jumping on my nuts before I can even get my fly back up.

It's alright though dude, everyone needs an idol. I understand Mayweather isn't quite cutting it for you anymore, but i'm here to take his place.

 

Yeah, but I hear people who never talk about boxing bring this up. That's why I'm so pissed off at Floyd.
He is throwing all the buzz right into the trash.

 

Of course, but they aren't turning down fights with him.
In fact, I think Paulie said he would love to fight him, which just throws him into hypocrite city with Floyd.
