Sports media is all a buzz with the on-going Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao saga.
Will he...won't he?
Why won't he call me back?
Does he have something to hide?
He's a coward.
He takes performance enhancing drugs.
He's the father of my unborn child!
Ok. I made the last one up but the spin is never ending. Apparently the media must have felt that the story needed a little extra spice since the truth is probably far less enticing.
Floyd Mayweather does not respond well to ultimatums. Bob Arum of Top Rank boxing whom Floyd has had a particularly contentious relationship with in the past is probably the wrong person to unilaterally set deadlines and issue mandates.
It is a funny thing about young men who just earned tens of millions of dollars in less than 3 months ago -- they don't feel pressed. For better or worse, Floyd is going to fight if and when Floyd is damn well ready and not a moment sooner.
Floyd has many traits, some of which are not particularly pleasant, but cowardice certainly does not seem to be one of them.
I don't know. If I were a young, single man with tens of millions of cash in my pocket like Floyd Mayweather, I may be more interested in doing a few other things than rushing into a boxing ring.
Call me crazy.
