The Stop Endorsing Floyd Mayweather Jr. Petition Needs Your Signature

Dear Mr. Stephenson and To Whom It May Concern:


We are writing to express the deep concerns we have with one of your representatives, Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mr. Mayweather as you know is a professional boxer. He has a tentatively scheduled bout on March 13th, 2010 with Manny Pacquiao, another professional boxer from the Philippines.

For reasons unbeknownst to us, Mr. Mayweather, his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., his adviser, Leonard Ellerbe and his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions have decided to engage in a smear campaign against Mr. Pacquiao. Their efforts have included press releases, interviews and internet blogs. And their unfounded, unwarranted and unjustified accusations have all centered around the illegal use of steroids, human growth hormones & other chemicals.

Mr. Pacquiao has never before been accused of using the aforementioned products and he has passed every drug test that he has ever been administered throughout the course his career. Yet this did not stop Mr. Mayweather and his associates from engaging in cowardly, malicious and defaming tactics against him.

Up until this point, Mr. Pacquiao has enjoyed the fruits of a pristine image everywhere he has gone throughout the Philippines and the world. An image which he established through hard work and dedication to his God, his Country and his fans. He will no longer be able to enjoy the fruits of his hard-earned image thanks to Mr. Mayweather and his associates.

These claims which bring into question Mr. Pacquiao's character, honesty and integrity become even more damaging when you take into account the fact he is currently seeking public office in his native Philippines.

In response to their actions, Mr. Pacquiao has decided to immediately file a defamation suit against Mr. Mayweather and his associates.

And in response to those same actions, we are now formally asking you to discontinue and forgo all endorsement relationships, and future endorsement relationships, with Mr. Mayweather and his associates.

We believe there is no place in the world of sport, nor the world in general for this type of behavior. And we earnestly hope that you will also find there is no place for this type of behavior in your upstanding organization as well.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

this is what Doug Fisher from ringtv.com got to say re this petition


"Happy New Year to you, to all fighters and fight fans, and to everyone else in the boxing world.

I have no problem keeping the links you included in your email, Kevin, but I took out the link to the online petition email you wrote as an appeal to get Floyd Mayweather’s various sponsors to drop him over the various allegations and Pacquiao’s lawsuit. (Quite Frankly, I don’t want boxing to be Floyd’s only source of income because that might mean he’ll stick around the sport longer.)"

big respect there for Floyd!

Scoop Mailbox: Could HBO KO Floyd?
Published by Scoop Malinowski on January 3rd, 2010


I could only infer two things from this reaction from the mayweather camp. They have consulted with their lawyers and they know, they’ll get a beating in court. At the very least, their lawyers could not assure them of a win, which translates to having a very risky proposition on their hands. Having said that, i could imagine there’s now a divisive spirit in their camp. If you would notice, before at the forefront of the black propaganda was Schaefer and Oscar dela hoya. Now, the mouthpiece is directly from Mayweather Promotions. It makes sense to speculate there’s now finger pointing in their camp. Bob Arum if he is really a wise executive should see through this develpment and capitalize on the division in their adversary. Further, it would seem there is an unseen hand pressuring them to make this fight and obviously not sold in their idea of fighting in England with Matthew Hatton. There’s no other pressure which could make this except HBO. HBO had been supporting Mayweather until now. And investments had been made. They need to cash in and they would not be making a significant bottom line contribution with Floyd fighting patsies. Floyd’s last fight was a hard sell. Despite claims of 0.9M PPV buy in, bottom line contribution for HBO was marginal. MGM was not even full despite a 1000 complimentary tickets distributied by GBP. Nevertheless, Mayweather would still grab any opportunity to duck Manny. He would want to appear the one who wants the fight, but the real score is, he wants to have the appropriate excuse to make with HBO.

Floyd has boxed himself in, with the litigation, pressure from HBO, division with GBP, and his motivation not to fight Pacquiao. Floyd knows if he fights it would almost be the end of the line for him. Manny had shown his superior skills with his victory over Cotto. In actuality, Floyd would not want to touch Manny with a 10-ft pole. But, on the other hand if he does that, its a goodbye from HBO, and without HBO, Floyd would be alone with only one asset, his loudmouth, which is a liability rather than an asset. There seems to be no silver lining for the loudmouth and coward boxer of the decade
