Mike Wilbon: Mayweather is a Coward for Not Fighting Manny Pacquiao

By now, everyone knows the story. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquio were supposed to fight. Mayweather demanded a certain drug testing policy, Pacquiao refused, the fight broke off. Then, Pacquiao came back to agree to the original testing, but now Mayweather refused.
Enter: Mike Wilbon.
Yesterday, while appearing on Pardon the Interruption, long-time sports-writer Wilbon gave his opinion on Mayweather’s reluctance to agree to fight Pacquiao.
“You’re a coward.” Wilbon said into the camera, after he and his co-host agreed that the only reason Mayweather was ducking the fight was to protect his undefeated record.
Yesterday, news broke that Las Vegas promoter Bob Arum has issued a deadline for Mayweather to agree to fight Pacquiao. According to Arum, if Mayweather does not accept Pacquiao’s latest terms for the “fight of the century” by Friday night, the fight offer will be pulled and the two camps will engage in no further negotiations.
Keep in mind, Mayweather Jr. has already expressed a desire to hold the fight next year, so Arum’s latest statement comes off as yet another attempt to undermine his long-time nemesis.
Either way, the deadline really means nothing. If Mayweather Jr. chooses to accept this fight next Friday, two Fridays from now or at this point next year, the money will be far too much for Arum or his boy Pacquiao to turn down.
Still, it is interesting that American fans and spectators are starting to grow weary of Mayweather’s refusal to agree to the fight
