Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao the Biggest Chicken?
By Troy Sparks
Do some of you boxing fans think I wake up in the morning and write articles bashing Floyd Mayweather by calling him a chicken?
If the man pays attention to the articles written about him on Bleacher Report, then whatever he reads is registered to his brain.
But there's another guy who must share some of the blame for delaying the superfight deal.
Since I will be unbiased and impartial, I will call Manny Pacquiao a chicken too.
He can run his mouth from his home back in the Phillipines by calling Mayweather out.
What can Pac-Man say if I called him a chicken, even though he doesn't know me?
Through divine intervention, I'd love an invite to their first promotional press conference so they could meet the writer who stirs up the pot.
At that press conference, when Mayweather and Pacquiao are face to face with Don King smiling in the background, you know what will happen.
Mayweather will push Pac-Man and Manny will push back. You would need 50 men to separate them.
And from there, there will be hatred between the two best pound-for-pound fighters until the opening bell.
The answer comes from a reader, Rami Zaiter, in an e-mail response. He blamed Pacquiao for failing to agree to the 14-day cutoff for drug testing earlier this year.
If Pacquiao would've agreed, then the fight would've happened later this year.
Rami said that Manny needs this fight more than Floyd and should commit to making it happen.
He also said that Pac-Man is trying to "sell his soul to the devil because he's not as smart as Floyd."
See, that's what I'm saying. Manny is a chicken too.
Javis Gorman's iPhone message to me simply stated to "leave Floyd alone, (expletive)."
No, I won't leave Floyd alone.
What Floyd need to do is holla at me, via e-mail or Facebook, whichever method he prefers, and give me a first-person account of how he feels about me so I can share his comments to all of you.
But until then, both he and Manny are fair game.
Here's what I think: Since I want to put the heat on Floyd to announce that he'll fight Manny instead of some lesser-known boxer that he's rumored to fight in Dubai, I think Manny should pressure his team on speeding up the process.
There's only so much that two idle boxers can do beside sitting around and playing with their thumbs.
Bob Arum and King are ready to reach into their fighters' pockets.
But realistically, when you have Mayweather and Pacquiao playing the game of chicken with everyone who wants them to hurry up and get the party started, too much waiting around will tune out interest.
And what you have are two guys who left all of us hanging because one guy refuses to lose and the other guy want to keep his undefeated streak intact.
If Mayweather and Pacquiao refuse to fight at all, then both of them are chickens.
