Proof Showtime Will Sacrifice Mayweather To Pacquiao

Link: http://ringobserver.com/articles/proof-showtime-will-sacrifice-mayweather-to-pacquiao I saw a very surprising clue which indicates Showtime Network will sacrifice Floyd Mayweather to finally fight Manny Pacquiao if the sparring session on May 3rd bombs financially. The clue was part of a Showtime All Access episode, when Mayweather went to Fatburger's in Las Vegas for a meal. Mayweather, protected by numerous bodyguards, was confronted by Pacquiao fans who mocked and taunted him in public for ducking and dodging Manny Pacquiao. Some of the video even showed fans chanting "Pacquiao, Pacquiao", and saying Mayweather "won't fight Pacquiao, he's scared." Mayweather put a brave face on to conceal his shame, but the public criticism and disrespect had to embarrass him deeply. Later in the episode Mayweather also confessed that he can't go anywhere in public without security protection. Mayweather also admitted that he's constantly fighting with fans and media. The pressure on poor Floyd must be massive. But the overall message conveyed was a stunning one. For Showtime to broadcast Mayweather being taunted and mocked in public is very, very telling, and an indicator that times are changing. Keep in mind that Showtime producer Ross Greenberg could have easily edited this segment out off the video but the fact that he did not proves that Showtime is no longer protecting the image of Mayweather. It's a well known fact that Mayweather's drawing power is on the decline now, despite Richard Schaefer's best attempts to hide Mayweather's true pay per view numbers. It's a well known fact that the Mayweather-Guerrero sparring session lost mega millions and the Mayweather-Alvarez sparring session was only a success because of the extraordinary popularity of Canelo. Showtime executives are deeply concerned that Mayweather-Maidana is going to be a brutal failure. Boxing fans around the world are calling for a global boycott of May 3rd. Even rival promoter Bob Arum, who eagerly wants to match his superstar Manny Pacquiao against Mayweather, has called on boxing fans and media to boycott May 3rd. If the "Floydcott" is successful on May 3rd, and more mega millions of dollars are lost because of Floyd Mayweather's fading drawing power, fading skills and fading act, you can be pretty sure Showtime is going to finally sacrifice the greatest coward duck in sports history to put up and shut up and take on Manny Pacquiao in what will be the biggest money event in boxing history. Mark my words.

Does anyone have the full video of Mayweather going back and forth with the Pacquiao heckler?

Its more like Floyd using Pacquiao's name to sell his fight again and get interest. Just like when he came out of retirement the first time he attached his name to Pacquiao's. Yup, he knows Pac's name alone can jack up his ppv numbers.

and that means what? mexican have more money then blacks? lmfao Actually, it's a multiracial event. Khan brings in, middle eastern and British, Floyd mostly blacks, maidana Mexicans so it's a joint effort from the undercards so Floyd can create the illusion he is a ppv attraction. ;)

I think if Lara beats Alvarez there will be high demand for a Lara-Mayweather fight. Like life, boxing is not static. Mayweather's biggest threat was Pacquiao in 2009, Martinez in 2011, and is Lara in 2014. Mayweather-Pacquiao will still be great because of the big names, but it will be great in the way Tyson-Lewis was great. Mayweather-Lara will be great in the way Vitali-Lewis was great - a fresh young talent challenging a great but aging champion. The only problem with your theory is that Canelo is gonna beat that track stars ass!!!!!!!!!

You seem to be answering a question I didn't ask. I never claimed Pacquiao's PPV numbers where as high as Floyd's (I frankly couldn't care less about PPV numbers). All I said was that Manny was Floyd's biggest threat at one particular time (which is true). I didn't answer a question. I asked one.

If people cared that much about Pacquiao it would show in the ppv numbers don't you think? You seem to be answering a question I didn't ask.

Like I said before. I don't care about a man's numbers. My point is, since Floyd fans love to count another man's numbers, I'm making a point. If you're gonna stack your under cards, then the numbers SHOULD be great. C'mon son. That's just basic business and cost benefit analysis. Floyd is a premium brand and puts on shows. What you call stacked to Floyd those are just minor expenses. Of course everyone will be getting paid their record purse to be on that card but people still buy Floyd's cards regardless. There will be marginal increase of numbers of course but main reason for his cards is just to deliver to fans to create that experience.

Mayweather is The Executive producer so he has no problem showing what was shown on that clip. Also Mayweather has no problem fighting Pacquiao. He called Pacquiao personally to offer him $40m and would have wired $20m as soon as Pacquiao signed the contract right there. What Floyd has issues with is to give a penny to Bob Arum. Floyd going anywhere without bodyguards happens to most people who are rich just that some are less identifiable. Even Shane Mosley has bodyguards, Sugar Ray Robinson had some and Amir Khan uses bodyguards in some areas. Mayweather of course has made a career by capitalising on people's hatred of him so he needs that security more and also some of that stuff is to protect him from unfounded allegations. See how people used to attack Mike Tyson in public then sue him when he retaliated? Mike Tyson is a big guy but people weren't afraid to attack him what more of Mayweather? Of course Showtime would love to get Pacquiao from HBO and will do anything they can to land not just Pacqiuiao but every boxer if they can.

had to, you can't be out here criticizing a fighter being sloppy when you're a die hard Manny Pacquiao fan. That's just ass backwards g. How can someone be sloppy with Manny's aggressive style? If anything, that's beyond impressive that he's so fast, and can be under control and precise at the same time. All while attacking for the majority of the time. Lemme guess. Sitting back, and throwing 1 punch at a time is far more likely to exploit your "sloppiness"? C'mon son. You're smarter than a 5th grader.

I think this fight will not happen because floyd will be more concern to his health than fighting pac.
