I couldn't agree more, Manny camp and bob arum have been throwing fits all over xmas. Releasing statement after statement, It's off, it's done. Bob arum was acting like a clown. Manny even got emotional releasing long winded statements to protect his honour lol Yet you aint heard a peep out of floyd who has probably sat back and just laughed. He probably laughing at a table with the mayweather camp, at all the fuss they have caused. One thing is Manny is pissed, so pissed he going to court. So many people are going to watch 24/7 especially to see what pac gets up to lol They will follow him everywhere. Floyd will probably look at the camera and say I HOPE YOU WATCHING HIM HBO, YOU CANT TRUST PEOPLE THESE DAYS, THERE A LOT OF MONEY RIDDING ON THIS!!! LOL One thing you cant deny is Mayweather sure knows how to sell a fight. I expect an announcement to be made beginning of january. This fight will happen.
I'll give a little credit to the so called "Ellerbe Psy War" tactics if Floyd will indeed defeat a distracted Pacquiao on March 13. Until then it's all bull for me. We'll see.
Bob Arum has experienced and seen a lot in the sport. He is , together with King, one of the most experienced and cunning manager/promoter and impossible to fool around with. But green Ellerbe sure got him bigtime. Everybody (the fans, Arum) was looking past underdog Ellerbe and focusing on topdog Schaefer, but Leonard managed to do the impossible and put a trick on Arum and the Pac-team. A trick with consequences for years. Say what you want about Ellerbe, but he delivered huge value. Now we know why Floyd kept him around so long... This content is protected [yt]67n4DuyDqjk[/yt] lol
I would go further to say that knowing floyd he has been pounding the streets and the training is well underway. Pac is going to be the bull in this fight.... was always going to be the case, but now he is so steamed up, he is going to be a raging bull. Well we all know how floyd deals with raging bulls! Enter the matador!!!
Sorry but the only thing that guy is the king at is chest rubbing. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfC9dMY1YA8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfC9dMY1YA8[/ame]
Seriously though, why does anyone care about these peripheral people? You never hear anyone talking about Cristiano Ronaldo's agent.
for exactly the same reason that so called peripheral figures like Budini brown were huge figures in the sport!!!atsch
They weren't heros though. You, and others, seem to revere Ellerbe as some kind of hero. Floyd would be a star with or without these people, because he's brilliant.
Well i leave you to what you personally define as a hero! nver said he was... but i leave you to gaze at your spiderman suit! Fact is these characters are part of the rich tapestry and history of boxing, they are part of the folklore and the make the sport very absorbing!
